Fallout New Vegas: The New Mojave Wasteland IC

[Kernan]

The New Mojave Wasteland
"War, War Never Changes."
Ron Perelman

It has been a month since Caesar's Legion has conquered the Hoover Dam and already the Mojave Wasteland is beginning to feel the new Caesar's wrath. New Vegas is still booming but many casinos, including Lucky 38, were given to the White Hand Society in return for their loyalty. Crucifixions line the Strip only to be taken down by the White Hand where they are turned into food. Outside the Strip is little better as the Mojave Wasteland was thrown into turmoil as the Legion began their occupation and exterminating any remaining NCR remnants. The Town of Goodsprings fell victim to the Legion after much of the population fled, the rest were crucified or made to pay heavy taxes. The Boomers, their leadership dead, held out as long as they could but fell victim to the increasing amounts of prospectors and Legion attacks. Novac was evacuated before the Legion arrived, it was turned to rubble in a fit of anger. The NCR was pushed back to the Mojave Outpost and vowed to take back the Mojave Wastes although their Army was routed in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam and was in no position to fight back, especially with the death of General Oliver. Each of these factions, and many more unmentioned ones, are all vying for help in this New Mojave Wasteland.

Now its your turn to change the history of the Wastes. Will you aid in the victorious Caesar's conquering and occupation of Mojave, will you aid on of the smaller factions just trying to survive, or will assist the NCR in liberating the Wastes from the shadow that has befallen it?

Here is the OOC

Lanius Legate stood in the Penthouse of the Lucky 38 Casino and looked down on the Strip and Mojave Wasteland, his second in command standing beside him. He swept his hand over the horizon "I own this, and everything to the East. I have done what Caesar failed to do." his second piped up "Hail Caesar. Our Explorers have tracked the Courier and watched him flee into the Red Rock Canyon Autonomous Zone. He is just out of your reach sir." Lanius stomped and made is second jump "He is a coward for fleeing to the Khans for protection. Prepare the men for an attack, they die withing the hour." Before he left the second turned to face Lanius "Could you remind me why we want the Courier dead?" Lanius stomped toward him and smacked him "Don't be a fool, he tried to assassinate me just a week ago, are you stupid. Go get the men before I nail you to a cross!" his second nodded and ran off.

Sebastian sat back, leaning in his chair. He opened his eyes in the hopes that something had changed, but no, nothing had changed. In front of him was a tiny slip of paper, and he was still stuck in the hell hole known as Freeside.

Operation Green has begun. I am attempting to get a job at the Gammora currently, but I can give you the basic outline: Freeside is hell, New Vegas is run by the White Gloves. The Legion will go on some regular crucifixions, but I don't know if that is here to stay. I am not currently sure if the situation has normalized, but if so, this place is only going to get worse. Hell I was on that damn chopping block back at the Dam, I sure as hell don't want to be involved in that shithole again. I assume you want troop movements, the Legion seems to have taken over the Lucky 38, and I think McCarran too. They have a couple guys patrolling the walls, but the real worry is the damn White Hand. They control the Strip, and crucified dissenters line the damn streets. I will have to be quite about these movements. I already got shot once for the NCR, I sure as hell aint doing it again. I don't know how this is going to work.

-Johnny Rivers

He folded the paper up and walked outside. Sebastian took out a smoke, the orange filter touched his lips as he covertly dropped the letter. He finished smoking and walked back inside.

[Unggoy Star Empire]

Inside Vault 25, unwilling Citizens inside were herded into a "Power Station" to be put on treadmills to generate power in order to make enough power for "The True U.S. Army to be able to go out and fight any "Communists Occupiers" that dared walk upon "American" soil. Rebellion was utterly impossible, due to the Factories churning out robots week after week. The Large Vault was more then suitable for storing Robots, and Kl-04 was still preparing.

(A robobrain walks over to Kl-04)
Robobrain: "Hello, sir." "The power being generated has improved by 01. Percent."
KL-04: "Tell those Maggots that if they don't work harder, we'll all be trapped in here forever!" "We've got jobs to do!"
Robobrain: "We have not detected anyone that could possibly open the door for us, sir."
KL-04: "Maybe the Communists are in our Military Bases, looking at OUR Terminals!" "Think about all the Shit there getting on our Soil!" "I can't believe this!" "This is SLOPPY!"
Robobrain: "Our attempts to dig out have not worked, and Blasts are not recommended, sir."

Joshua looks at his map of the western side of the Mojave (Mojave outpost-Tradepost/highway 108). He begins drawing on the map, deciding where he should attack, where he should place propaganda, where he should begin skirmishes, etc. He looks at the Primm, and Good Springs. "There." He says out loud (quietly though) to himself. He marks the Primm as the first place to strike. Knowing the Mojave Outpost is not too far from there and knowing it would give the NCR some Breathing room. He loads his rifle and Sidearm, grabs his knife, and puts on his helmet, and grabs his binoculars before walking out the door to commit his first anti-Legion skirmish. He smiles slightly, knowing that he can finally start making the Legion pay for their many sins.

As he silently makes his way to the Primm, he would take out his binoculars and scan the area.

[BOS Capital Chapter]

The Lone Wanderer walked down the halls of Vault 11, which were more or less clean and orderly. He passed some people with a 'hello', or nothing at all. Eventually, the Lone Wanderer made it to the end of the hallway, near the classroom which is now used for storage. A large hole was cut in the wall, leading into a cave that was hardly lit. Tommy, the foreman for the tunnel, was wearing a dirty pre-war suit, and looked up as the Lone Wanderer approached. "Hey, 101" he said. "How's the tunnel going?" the Lone Wanderer asked. Tommy shrugged. "Ehh halfway done, it'll be coming out on the side of Black Mountain". The Lone Wanderer nodded and patted Tommy on the back. "Good job, Tom".

The Lone Wanderer walked away, towards the living quarters, where he met with Boone. Boone was packing up some food and guns. "Are you heading out too?". He looked up. "Yeah, gunna pick off some Legionares and buy some supplies". The Lone Wanderer nodded. "Damn, the Capital Wasteland was WAY worse than this place". Boone sighed. "You know that Courier everyone talks about?". The Lone Wanderer nodded. "Well, he WAS a hero, helped a lotta people, me included. You remind me of him, just younger, and you face your problems, not run away like he did". The Lone Wanderer smiled as Boone continued. "The people here are too embarrassed to say it to your face, but you're making a difference kid, thanks". The Lone Wanderer nodded. "I'm no saint Boone. I did things I regret in DC, things I wish I could take back... but part of life is making mistakes and being strong enough to admit them. Because of both the good AND bad things I've done, everyone in the Capital Wasteland now has fresh, pure water, and because my Dad gave his life to stop the Enclave from taking the facility....". Boone looked down to mourn 101's father. "I never knew him, but he seems like a good man".

[Kernan]

The Legate arrived at the mouth of Red Rock Canyon, a horde of legionaries at his back. He looked into the Canyon and saw nobody, probably to scared to fight the mighty Caesars Legion. He nodded to a Prime Legionnaire next to him who nodded back and raised his sword, the signal to attack. They charged forward guns blazing as the Great Khans struggled to organize a defense. It was all over within an hour and the Legate was in the Longhouse, Papa Khan at one end with a seemingly calm demeanor. The Legate was first to speak "Where is he?" "Where is who?" Papa Khan responded "The Courier! We know he fled into Red Rock after the attempted assassination! I want him now or I will put you and your petty Khans on the cross!" Papa Khan shrugged "I don't know what to tell you. He fled to Jonestown just a few days ago. Said he was outrunning you and your, these are his words 'stupid apes'." The Legate screamed in anger and pulled out his weapon "Fine! If you refuse to cooperate then I will have to burn this place to the ground!" Papa Khan began to stand but his head flew back, a hole in his forehead. The Legate exited the tent and saw his army amassed outside "Burn it to the ground! No survivors!" the Legate yelled. The Legionaries nodded, screamed "Awe" and ran off to carry out the order.

[BOS Capital Chapter]

10 minutes later, the Lone Wanderer was exiting the door to the Vault 11 Enterence. He wore Merc Grunt clothes and a bandana. On his back was his dirty Sniper Rifle, on his side was his machete and 9mm pistol. He began to hike south... The hot desert air was harsh, but not as condensed as it was in DC. All the Lone Wanderer could think about was Sarah Lyons, his wife. He shook off his memories across the wastes and turned his attention to what was at stake. Soon, he layed down on a small hill next to Helios and watched as a Legion Patrol with 8 men approached, unaware of his presence. He took a deep breath and lined the scope up with the officer's head, and pulled the trigger. His head snapped back and he fell onto the road, motionless. Then, another shot echoed through the Mojave, and another, a total of 5 shots, and the Lone Wanderer stood and approached, rifle aimed at the remaining 3 Legionares, all recruits. One yelled and charged, but his head exploded and he slid on the blacktop. He shot the older one in the chest, making him collapse in agony. The last one held his machete, but was shaking in fear. "True to Caesar" he said in a scared voice. He charged the Lone Wanderer, but the Lone Wanderer grabbed his hand and twisted it, snatching the machete and thrusting it through his spine and out the other side. The Legionare, 15 at best, fell to his knees as blood poured out of his mouth. The Lone Wanderer pulled out his 9mm, put it up to his forehead, and spoke. "The Legion has poisoned your mind. Death is your cure". With that, he pulled the trigger.

The Lone Wanderer dragged the bodies into a ditch, taking the clothes of the Veteran Decanus, and burnt the bodies. He dressed in the Veteran Decanus's clothes, and went north, to the Strip....

Joshua Scopes out multiple Legionaries defending the Bison Casino. He approaches quietly as he flanks to the left side up the broken rollercoaster to infiltrate the building from the side. He spots a single legionary defending the side entrance. Joshua, quietly approaches the Legionary. He swiftly stabs the Legionary in the neck but not before covering his mouth so his friends can't hear his screams. He then throws the body off the railing and onto the soft grass so no noise is made. Silently he creeks the door open. He sees a legionary watching out from the window. Silently, Joshua creeps up on the Legionary,.covers his mouth, then stabs him in the throat. He then Carries the dead body and hides it behind some crates. Joshua continues to seek out enemies in the building. Until he finds yet another sniper in the window. Joshua attempts to silence him the same way he did the others, but this time, the legionary turns around seeing him "What the he-" the Legionary yells before Joshua quickly stabs him in the neck. Joshua quickly rushes to cover. The legionaries enter the room. Joshua unslings his Rifle. One of the troopers asks the choking Legionary where he went. As soon as this is asked, Joshua pops out from his cover and guns down the bleeding legionary and the one who asked. One legionary rushes to cover and the other lays suppressing fire. Joshua would draw his 9mm and blind fire whenever the legionary had to reload. Eventually Joshua gets bold enough to pop out of cover and shoot down the exposed legionary. Another legionary approaches the one hiding. Joshua tosses a grenade. The one who attempted reinforcing the straggler evaded the grenade. As he was trying to get up, Josh shot him in the back four times before reloading. One legionary attempted flanking Josh. The Legionary swung at Josh, scratching his leather. Josh hits the Legionary with the butt of his rifle. Josh then shoots the Legionary seven times before running. Legionaries shooting in his direction while Josh fired back, wounding one. He then makes it outside from the way he came in. He countinues running while shooting back. He drops a grenade at the door, only killing one. Josh then runs into a legionary, hitting him over the head with his rifle. Josh is then shot by a .357 but luckily the Armor saves Josh, but yet it still hurts. Josh eventually escapes the remaining 12 Legionaries. Joshua reloads his weapons, plucks out the bullet, and then quietly makes his way back to his base. Sometimes hiding in buildings and bushes to avoid possible scouts.

(I will fix some of these actions if thought to be too unrealistic or made me look like Rambo.)

[The Underground Movement Union]

When Joshua gets back to his base, he immediately begins repairing his shotup armor. After fixing his armor, he looks at his map and puts one check on the Primm. After this, he would rearm, reload, and get ready to make his second skirmish. But he decides first that he'll need recruits before making a second charge. He takes his map and some other valuables with him before heading out to search for survivors in the wasteland. He would begin searching the Mojave for support.

[Kernan]

"They what!" the Legate screamed at the Centurion. "They were massacred sir! He is like, what did they call them, a ninja! We have Explorers tracking them though, he cannot be on the lamb for long." the Centurion said with a smile. The Legate turned and picked up a pre-war baseball bat "You let him get away you insolent fool! That in itself is grounds for crucifixion!" he slammed the bat into a prostitutes head (He is now in Gomorrah) and it caved in. The Centurion gulped and a worried look began to appear but he quickly suppressed it "Sir, on Caesars name he will not get away." he said as he raised his hand in the traditional Roman Salute. The Legate brought his arm back and prepared to swing "Your damn right it wont!" he yelled as the bat swung forward. It slammed into the Centurions helmet and it split like an egg before falling to the ground, the Centurion opened his eyes and found he was still alive. The Legate swept the bat and hit the Centurion in the kneecaps, he could feel them shatter at the blow as the man fell to the ground. The Legate looked to the Guards by the door "Kill this fool and hang him by his knees at the Casino in Primm, let all who pass know of our fury." with that the man burst out in a last plea for mercy before a machete slammed into his head and split open his head. When the machete was removed his head rolled back and his brain fell out as he was dragged away; The Legate picked it up and shrugged before removing his mask for the first time and devouring it.

[BOS Capital Chapter]

After hours of walking down the lonely wasteland road, the Lone Wanderer was passing through Freeside. A few people back at Vault 11 told him about Freeside before the Legion came; not a good place but anything is better than Legion Occupation. The Lone Wanderer eventually made it to the Strip, be careful not to stare at the crucified people lining the road. The Lone Wanderer approached the Guard, who was a recruit Decanus. Without so much as a second glance, he said "Ave, you may proceed". The Lone Wanderer entered the Strip and looked around. Legionares crowded the streets, going to and fro locations. The Lone Wanderer felt the concealed high explosives he had, and proceeded behind the Gammorah, to a small manhole.

He climbed down to the pitch black, and proceeded...

[BOS Capital Chapter]

The Lone Wanderer activated his Pip-Boy light and moved through the empty tunnels beneath the Strip. He hardly saw anything, but eventually made it to the "Lucky 38" on the door. He quietly hacked into the terminal and the door opened. Pistol raised, he walked in, dodging some Legionares before they could see him. He quietly moved around huge generators, putting the silencer on his sniper. He took aim at a Legionare. POP. He fell on his face. POP. POP. POP. All dead. He ran out into the center of the generator room and looked around, catching his eye was a huge computer. He ran to it and began hacking, which was difficult. Eventually, he bypassed the firewall and was in.

Welcome, Mr. House. What would you like to do?
-Deactivate Atomic Generators
-Lower Energy Level
-Max. Energy Level

The Lone Wanderer deactivated several generators, leaving one on. He rigged the two HE Mini Nukes on it, and maxed the power output. He ran out of the generator room, slamming and sealing the door. He gunned it back to the first manhole, and climbed out. To avoid detection, he walked through the Gamorrah, and left the Strip, entering Freeside, the detonator in his hand. CLICK.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ground shook, and fire erupt from the base of the Lucky 38. The cloud of smoke blocked the sun, and he watched as the Penthouse, at the very top, exploded, glass and metal everywhere. Fire baked through the streets, killing God knows how many, then entered Freeside. The Lone Wanderer ran as fast as he could, taking cover in a building as it passed. When it did, the Lone Wanderer stood, watching as the Lucky 38 wanted to fall over, but didn't. It was charred black, the top gone. Wouldn't be surprised if Elder Lyons saw that

[The Underground Movement Union]

Joshua has a feeling he's being watched... He ducks into a bush turns around and takes out his rifle and binoculars. He sees a single explorer trying to hide, however the explorers head is exposed. Joshua draws his rifle, and lines up the shot. He fires seven rounds into the mans stomach, chest,.and arms, and then fires another two into his left leg. Josh Approaches the Explorer, he draws his 9mm and pulls the trigger, putting a bullet in the explorers brain. He takes a throwing spear from the explorer. Joshua eventually stumbles across the Trade Post 108. Joshua draws his binoculars to check for hostile movement.

[BOS Capital Chapter]

The Lone Wanderer grinned as he walked toward the I88 Trading Post. He had single handedly dealt the Legion a crushing blow, and he was ready to take the army he'd gathered and liberate Primm and Goodsprings. He stopped for a moment and ditched his Legion Clothes, replacing them with his Vault 101 Jumpsuit, armored up a bit. He looked back a the fires raging through Vegas, there must have been 200 Legionares killed right away. He turned back and entered the Trading Post, where the Shopkeepers, a man and his daughter, looked at Vegas, astonished. The man saw me and peeled his gaze from the hell of Vegas. "Uhh.. hey kid, nice to see you". I smiled. "Same here. Can I get a beer?". "S-sure". He slid a beer to the Lone Wanderer, who opened it and took a sip. This was only the start.

[BOS Capital Chapter]

After finishing his beer, the Lone Wanderer hiked up to Vault 11, which didn't take long. He immediately went to the VHA Council for a meeting with Councilers Udina, Anderson, Wilkins, and Ferrier.

LW: "Councilers, the time is now. The Legion is in disarray"

Udina: "But when they learn what happened, they will slaughter us at Primm!"

Anderson: "I agree with Shepard, its now or never"

Ferrier: "Agreed"

Wilkins: "No! Udina is correct, we must wait"

LW: "Too bad! We make our move now!"

Udina stands up ang gets in the Lone Wanderer's face. "Excuse me? We aren't going anywhere!". The Lone Wanderer resisted the urge to punch him. "You don't have too. See how lonely the vault is when only you and him are here".

Soon later, the Vegas Home Army begins packing...

[The Underground Movement Union]

Joshua noticed that only friendly movement was in the I88 trade post. Josh slips his binoculars back into his backpack and slings his rifle. "Wait. Am I not the only anti-Legion Rebel in the Mojave?" He wondered. He sighed. He took his map with the battle plans from his backpack and looked at it. He decided to create a new plan for liberating the Mojave. He decided he'd try to find this group before continuing his mission.

[Kernan]

The Legate stood in the basement of the Gomorrah, a prostitute doing what she did best. After what seemed like an hour she spent herself, but the Legate was not done so they continued despite her protests. Another 10 minuets goes by and finally he has reached the ultimate pleasure (hehehe)and pushed the woman away. He turned to leave but the woman put out her hand as to say "Money, now." The Legate smacked her to the ground then left; after he exited the Gomorrah he was confronted with an Explorer "Hail! We have tracked the Courier to Goodsprings." The Legate smiled and snapped, instantly the Legion soldiers on the Strip went quiet and the Legate began to shout "Legion! We have tracked that demon Courier to the small town of Goodsprings. According to our informants, he is being held by one Doc Mitchel, he must die for this traitorous act. Goodsprings must burn!" At once they all began to move toward Goodsprings, by the time they were done there would not be a town to put on the map.

[BOS Capital Chapter]

Soon later, dozens of people, carrying huge packs, leave the Vault, the Lone Wanderer leading them. They were just militia, but determined to stick a boot up Caesar's ass. They carried flags of the old world, and soon moved down the highway, burning Legion flags.

[Unggoy Star Empire]

Vault 25 (Still Sealed)

A teenage girl on the Treadmills falls down, and cannot get back up, but she is still alive. A robobrain goes up to report it...

Robobrain: Hello, sir. A Human has ousted her..Usefulness.
Kl-04: What a Maggot! Make her into a Robobrain!

(Screaming, the Girl is dragged away by a Mister Handy...)

Mister Handy: This honorable Brit's fighting for queen and Country!
KL-04: Take that Maggot away from here! Make a new Robobrain! The Military needs officers and soldiers!
Robobrain: We have not seen anyone outside the Vault who could open the Vault for us. We hope they will come soon.
KL-04: We have enough troops to take the entire Wasteland from the Commies, and China and Hong Kong!
Robobrain: Hong Kong is British owned-
Kl-04: Stop talking back, Maggot! America owns everything!
Robobrain: We have not received word from other U.S. Army Remnants, mainly from Mariposa Military Base.
Kl-04: The Commies most likely took that one, too! What about the Oil Rig?
Robobrain: We have received no word, either.
Kl-04: We need to get rid of the Commies here, and then move on to Mariposa and the Oil Rig. And the Pentagon. Have they sent us orders?
Robobrain: No. The Pentagon has not responded. The White House has not responded Either.
Kl-04: We need to retake America! Commies are getting Bullshit all over our places...and what about Fort Constantine? Bannister? Independence? Alaska? Commies are taking the Oil, I bet!
Robobrain: We seem to be the Only Ones left. Point Lookout has also not send us word.
Kl-04: Dammnit! These Commies are smart! This is foolish! Tell those Human Maggots to Work harder! We need this Door Open!

[The Underground Movement Union]

As Joshua continued his search for the rebel army, he spots a large patrol headed down the road, he ran towards the army with his weapons put away and with his hands up to show that he's not an enemy. "Do not shoot! I'm only here to fight the legion!" He puts his hands down when he gets close to the rebel army. "I've been searching the Mojave for support. Where are you all headed? I've got battle plans if just so happens to be within range from anywhere from the Mojave Outpost to I88."

The Lone Wanderer came foreword in his Vault 101 Jumpsuit. He put his hand out to shake. "Hi, the name is Shepard, this is my teeny tiny little army".

[The Underground Movement Union]

Joshua accepts the handshake "I'm Joshua Hanson. I'm a, well, I guess you'd call me rebel. Or maybe a Skirmisher. I've been out here for about a month or two trying to make things too bloody for the Legion."

[BOS Capital Chapter]

Joshua accepts the handshake "I'm Joshua Hanson. I'm a, well, I guess you'd call me rebel. Or maybe a Skirmisher. I've been out here for about a month or two trying to make things too bloody for the Legion."

Shepard laughed. "Same here. Ambushing patrols and such, and giving these people a safe haven. We're heading to Primm, to liberate it, wanna tag along?".

"Sure. I've already attacked place and gave em a scare. Morale should be low over there I hope." Says that Joshua, as he searches his backpack for his battle map and pen.
