Fallout New Vegas: The New Mojave Wasteland IC

"Just go..." said Shepard. "You have lives ahead of you. Live them. You too, Germanius...".

The men lowered their weapons and split into two groups, who hesitantly ran away. They knew where to go...

Shepard sighed. "I never had the power Jason has, or anyone else. If you want corruption, ask Jason about all the torture and murder they commit. Just fucking go assholes..."

The Platoon Leader said in response, "If men are so willing to destroy the Mojave that they will endure torture, what kind of men are they? If there is torture in this nation, then by god, let that be, I am fine with wasting one man's life to save the rest of us. If I could offer myself to be tortured in return for this Republic never having to fall and continuing to rise. I would gladly do so. Torture only exists because of a need for it, because if we didn't we would all be massacred by Legionaires or your Brotherhood scumbags. They killed my family you know." He shouted "Platoon. Forward March."

Shepard lay in the coffin, thinking back on all of the mistakes he'd made in the past. Things he wished he didn't do, things he wished he did do. It was all in the heat of the moment- people make strange choices then. Shepard missed his home, he missed the East, but he had a goal to complete before he left. If he got out of this, he had a plan... he closed his eyes, trying to sleep, and hoping the nightmares didn't come back.

Keenan walked into the vault, the outside smelling putrid from the rotting corpses of the looted bodies of the deceased legionnaires are fiends.
He noticed once again the stark contrast between the vault and the wasteland, the shining floors and walls and the blast of cool air from the vaults air conditioning system that kept the vault bearable. He closed the door behind him and continued on, memories of his time here with castor flooding back in and he smiled. Thinking to pay a visit to the armoury and see what castor had collected he was impressed with the sheer numbers of energy weapons, vault equipment, legion equipment and fiend equipment there (about 20 legion, 20 fiend, 20 vault, and around 2 weapons per like the legionary would have a machete and another weapon, fiends tend to have energy weapons, vault weapons tend to be police batons and 9mm pistols but alternatives are also possible) he nodded his head in acknowledgement and backed away. The vault hadn't changed a bit since he was last there. Heading over to the entertainment wing he noticed the game of pool that hadn't been finished between castor and his guests and thought to himself that that's not likely to change. In the bedrooms he found that the beds were made as usual and that nothing had changed, he was beginning to think that he was wrong to think someone else was in the vault. Until he turned around in the bedroom to find an enclave Duraframe eyebot staring him in the face, and recalled that that was the one castor said he built sand programmed with Eden's radio broadcasts. The robot beeped and blooped excitedly. Keenan smiled in acknowledgement and said hi. He was happy but he still hadn't found what he was looking for.

Germanius watched the wagon roll away in amazement. "Well...I...Uh" he said. His men were walking back to the NCRCF and left Germanius standing there. "I...Uh...Well..." He thought to himself. He decided to just follow his men back to the NCRCF and hoped Shepard had another plan because he was officially out of ideas. He would just lay low and wait for the elections to finish.

The Wagon arrives at the Pillar/Thorn where it stays there, waiting for Jason and Black Hand agents to come out a greet them. General Kl-04 puts some more refined Sedative in a stimpak, for when Shepard is taken out of the coffin. However, Shepard will be kept firmly locked down until the coffin enters or under Jason's orders.

Shepard awoke, not knowing how long it'd been since he'd drifted off to sleep. He was extremely claustrophobic now, and was flipping out a little bit. "Let me the hell outta here!!" he yelled. "I can't breathe!". He began to choke on his words as the oxygen began to run out.

Shepard's Platoon
Daniel Ferrier, a former NCR Sergeant, was leading the platoon. He was furious of what happened to Shepard, a former-NCR Ranger, and personally one of Daniel's favorite Veterans of the Revolution. He wasn't going back to NCRCF... he had a better place in mind. He turned to Germanius and the rest of the platoon. "We aren't giving up on Shepard, not now. We all saw, up close and personal, the corruption and injustice that the FRoM composes itself of. We need to rally support and purify this new country! We're going to Jacobstown. If anyone opposes this government, it's the Super Mutants and Nightkin. If we can convince them to stand with us, we can win. Let's hurry, there isn't much time".

Germanius walked up and slapped Daniel "Shut up. I know you look up to him and I share the same thoughts but we are not prepared to purify anything. We need more training before we do, but don't worry, we will get him." Germanius said. He hated ambitious people, he hoped Daniel would be reasonable though. They really were not prepared, like Germanius said, to revolt and then march on New Vegas; at least not yet. Germanius knew that if he could just have some more time he could stand a chance against the FRoM army, but that would come later.

Daniel rubbed his face and was angry, furious, even. He began to yell. "We don't have TIME to train right now! We don't have TIME to go to the NCRCF! We're criminals, all of us! I watched that man turn on the HAM Radio. By now, the entire ARMY knows about us! We need to lay low and train in a secluded area. Jacobstown is perfect. We train and recruit, then we fight"

Germanius slapped him again, since he couldn't hit him he decided that that was his best shot at keeping his mouth shut so he could talk. "I know they are coming...probably coming. The NCRCF is a pre-war Prison, those things were built for hte express purpose of keeping people inside and unable to escape. Those doors will not open without either a) being blown open or b) having us open it. That is only if we have to fight though. If they come then I will first attempt to talk them down. Trust me, I have a plan now, It will work." Germanius said. He really didn't have a plan besides training and freeing Shepard. He just hoped Daniel did not know that.

Daniel ignored the second slap. "We go there, we die. Get that through your skull. Jacobstown is the place to, especially since they hold the most liking for Shepard. We can conduct raids on FRoM Caravans and build up our weapons arsenal"

Germanius slapped him yet again, he was actually beginning to like slapping, before speaking "You are under my command! If i say jump you say how high! If I say we go to the NCRCF you say yes sir!" Germanius said. He was not afraid to dismiss Daniel if he continued to resist, he had to show his authority.

(OOC: I will be gone for a unspecified amount of time.)

Daniel refused. "Come on men, we're going to get back the Commander". Reluctantly, 7 of the men began to follow Daniel. 3 remained by Germanius's side. Daniel turned before getting too far. "If you want to save the Commander, meet us at Jacobstown". He then proceeded to leave.

El Mey Motel

Inside Frantz Fuch's room inside the Motel, a Scorpion Gang leader is being interrogated by Fritiz and Frantz. Bodyguards armed with Recharger Pistols and Black Suits and Sunglasses are protecting them. The Interrogation is being held inside the bathroom.

Frantz Fuchs: (Takes out a Bark Scorpion from a small Crate.) If you do not tell me where you're gang is getting supplies, then I will put bark scorpion on you're face and leave it there for 2.4 seconds. And I will also use this stun gun to shoot you're eye. And then I will backhand you.

Jared: Fuck you..fucking asshole.

Frantz Fuchs: (drops the Bark Scorpion on his face.) How do you like that?

Jared: TAKE IT OFF, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!

Frantz Fuchs: (Does so and puts the Bark Scorpion back in Crate, and then takes our 9mm Pistol, and shoots his stomach)

Frantz Fuchs: To bad. You're time is about 1 minute unless you tell me where you're gang is.

Jared: Fuck off..

Frantz Fuchs: (Takes out bark Scorpion, and drops in on him)

Frantz Fuchs: Fritiz, when this fool dies, throw him out the balcony.

Fritiz Fuchs: I'll do it.

Germanius watched them leave and turned back to his other three men and said "Well, there is no longer enough men to be a squad, so from now on we are not a squad, we are The Void. Gather your guns, there are frequent convoys between here and NV, we will plunder them for all their worth." Germanius said. Some of the men looked like they to would desert, but none of them did and instead grabbed their gear and moved on with Germanius.

Because we were not ready, you all needed more training or you would get slaughtered. Now there is four of us, not enough to overcome such a heavy guard. So we are going to weaken them by raiding their convoys. It will take awhile but they will either have to be drawn out onto unfavorable terms or die. It is guerilla warfare my dear boy."

Germanius sighed "Hell, any idea is better than the one I have." He looked at the man and said "Shoot. Any idea is welcome. That goes for you two." he said pointing at the other two who were walking in silence.

As the others remained silent, the young man began to explain. "I used to be a Powder Ganger, so I'm an expert in ambushes. From what I know, supply caravans are delivered every few days. If we ambushed the Caravan, kill the guards, and dress as them, they'll let us right in. We then get in position, kill off the guards, and enlist the prisoners who will surely hate the FRoM"

Germanius shrugged "I don't see why not. Hell, if we do that we might be able to raid bigger targets, like small settlements and such." Germanius said as images of crucifixions flashed through his mind.

Hours passed, and the sun was setting. Daniel and his men found themselves in front of some hotel called the El Mey. "Looks like a good place to stop for supplies" said Daniel. They entered the front door and proceeded to clear it out...

Fabian Fuchs: Hello! I am Fabian Fuchs. Would you like to see the Manager?

[Alouite]

As the caravan approached the thorn, the men handed the caravan over to the Pillar unit of the Black hand. They opened the coffin, kept Shepard blindfolded and injected a barbiturate into his neck. They then took him to an entirely white room, where he would suffer white torture. Within thirty minutes, even the strongest minds go insane in the soundless white room due to sensory deprivation. They stripped him of his armor and put a white mentally insane patient garb on him, they would merge white torture, MK Ultra and water boarding together in what they called 'soft torture', torture that inhibited no pain, but much suffering. They introduced Kl-04 to the head of Thorn operations who said, " Shepard is now imprisoned. He will suffer for trying to destroy the Mojave, our punishment came late, so we will need to make up for lost time."
