[Forum Game] Fallout Realism: The Great Bear

[King50000]

To: The Joint Chiefs of Staff; President Peterson
From: Chief Elise

I am requesting permission to assume command over the NCRA front against the Den. With the disastrous defeat of our forces here this past spring, and the death of General Mattis, the front must be stabilized and the threat Metzger and his slavers pose to the NCR decisively dealt with. The Den has long been a target of the Rangers due to it being the last remaining slaving stronghold in the north, and I will pursue its destruction to the fullest of my abilities.

Regards,
Elise

Col. Piers' Strategy Manual Pt. I

NCR Trooper Armor: Khaki uniform with leather armor pieces, designed for resistance to the elements, primarily in the desert. ROMP troopers wear a cold weather variation that, while not providing additional armor, is sturdier than the basic model, to better survive the wear and tear of mountain climbing.

Combat Armor: Pre-War designs, either scavenged or recreated by groups such as the Gunrunners. The basic variation seen here is worn by many of the better equipped private militias such as the Gunrunner Guards.

Van Graff Armor: A superior variation of basic combat armor or an inferior variation of Mk. I reinforced combat armor, depending on your view of things, supplied exclusively by the Van Graff Family.

NCR Ranger Patrol Armor: A variation of Mk. II reinforced combat armor with higher durability, worn by most active duty Rangers.

Salvaged Power Armor: A recent development, Brotherhood of Steel power armor salvaged from the ruins of the recent war. The removal of internal servos means this heavy armor of unmatched durability can be worn by anyone with the physical strength to support it, without any pilot training required.

Congressman David Newman from the Hub

”Fellow Congressmen, one has to wonder on what right we demand the taxes of the great people living in this Republic. Once it was clear, the duty of the state was to provide security for its citizens, maintain and defend their liberties and provide infrastructure or other great works across states.” The Congressman from the Hub took a breath.

“Now what? We have Congressmen from the North of the Republic who cry out for nationalization of all things good, merely for the sake of the state taking control of something which it does not own. In other words, theft. We have other Congressmen inciting violence and civil discord between men, ghouls and mutants, leading to deaths and destruction. Now we have a government that has been impotent in the face of rising dangers, responding slowly to crisis after crisis, and a military which we are funneling money to, draining the wealth of this nation, only to see that they are likewise starting to become impotent in the face of their duty. One need not look further than Sac-Town to see that being that case, and it is my highest hope that this is the impotence of a small portion of the army, and not a widespread disease.

But let us look at this situation in Sac-Town, a situation in which our citizens have been harassed, abused, abducted, kidnapped and quite likely tortured while our military, the people’s military stood by, letting this happen. But before we go into rumours, let us see what we know has happened.

We know that a Shi Guardsman was killed on patrol, a crime if done by a citizen of Sac-Town which the Shi assumed, and a crime which needs to be brought to justice. We also know that the Shi, who have no authority have abducted a citizen of this republic, of whom they have no jurisdiction or authority over, and taken him back to Frisco, to stand trial in an illegal hearing and procedure. Thereby breaking not only the law, going beyond the limits of their own power and authority, but also breaking the Golden Gate Accord. What also seems confirmed is the fact that Sun Tzu-Yan ordered Shi troops into Sac-Town of which he had no right, and that his son, Sun Jae-Ling, carried out his own investigation. What we also know is that several merchants disappeared for days, only to reappear and that screams of agony could be heard from the Shi Headquarters. Finally it seems that several Sac-Town merchants requested aid from the military, only to receive none.

Now what happened in those Shi Headquarters, we cannot know, but what we do know is that the Shi Militia has broken the laws and the Accord in which they have already been granted privileges aplenty.

Fellow Congressmen, I ask you to join me, so that we at least shall not join the rest in impotence. Join me in my demand that this government at once demands the release of Fred Masterson into Federal Custody, so that he can be reunited with his family. That this government at once launches several investigations, both in the actions which have accused at this Shi Headquarter, but also into the actions, or more correctly, lack of, by our own military and those commanding officers involved, for it screams of gross negligence of duty on their part. Join me in the demand that this comes to pass, so that those responsible may be brought to justice, and further join me in my demands that the investigations and the findings of said investigation are made to be of full disclosure to both Congress and the Public, for both have a right to know what has happened.

Let us be the guiding light for once, let us do the duty which we have to our people and the constitution. Join me in these demands.”

Speaking to reporters outside of the Hall of Congress, Congressman Jay Vance of the Great State of New Reno explains his reasoning for switching his political affiliation in the Congress from Independent to a member of the Freedom Party.

I am proud to endorse Miss Van Graff as the next president of the New California Republic. As the author of the monetary act that restored fiscal solvency to this great nation, I witnessed firsthand how the Van Graff Consortium saved the gold standard and derailed the schemes of certain bad actors to monopolize our public water resources and to undermine our currency with the reintroduction of bottlecaps, the currency of wasteland slavers. In troubled days when certain Senators from the North have incited race hatred in Vault City and attempted to seize the nuclear power plant that is held in the sacred trust of the people of that state, the Republic needs a down to Earth leader who is willing to work with the individual states and private interests towards a better a future for us all.

When Tiaret Van Graff says she will restore law and order to California, you can bet her word is as Good as Gold!​

Fiasco in the North
​

Metzger's victory at Willowcreek was a decisive blow to Californian authority in the north. Mattis's army which had consisted of the most experienced and grizzled troops from Arroyo, Klamath, and Redding had been decimated and although parts of the army remained in good order morale had never been lower. In the Den Metzger spent weeks celebrating his triumph. His mercenaries and allies followed days of looting with days of feasting. In the ruins of the Californian camp, the slavers and tribals had uncovered many spoils of war including, NCR radio codes and transmitters, NCRA armor, weapons, equipment, standards and even the army's pay chest. Yet, people had been taken too and indeed the slavers had taken special care to wound their foes when possible. During the route well over sixty men had been taken alive, alongside several dozen camp followers and local guides. The most prominent of these captives had been General Priam Mattis who had been wounded so severely he could not walk for several months after the battle. Metzger took great care to keep Mattis alive, spending a small fortune on medical care for the General who's ransom would be worth tens of thousands.

However, this was not Mattis's only value and on July 17th Metzger held a great triumph in the Den. Marching through cluttered streets of the city the slaver king dawned a golden crown and was hoisted aloft by his cheering men who praised his very name. Mattis found himself at the center of this parade, stripped naked except for his bandages the General was chained up and dragged behind the column. For nearly an hour the warrior was pelted with rotting produce and feces before he was made to bow before Metzger's feet and beg his forgiveness. At the end of the ceremony, Metzger gave a brief speech and then departed as ten captured soldiers were forced to fight to the death in the city's great fighting pit. Several days after that, however, Mattis was on his way home. Ransomed for an enormous sum by the Van Graffs, the General was brought to NCRA lines near the border of Redding and dropped off. Within twenty minutes his men recovered him and Mattis was airlifted to an army hospital in Navarro. He would spend the rest of the year recovering while out of the public spotlight.

Meanwhile, in Shady Sands, the ransom was a small coup for Tiaret who publicized her roll in securing Mattis's return. Especially in the army, Tiaret gained newfound approval as her actions had somewhat lessened the shame of Willowcreek. Yet, she still had many detractors and some criticized her for spending so much money to save one man. Especially, when that money could be put back into raids against the NCR. Finally, in early August President Peterson received an offer to ransom back the rest of the 61 remaining NCR soldiers and civilians still in Metzger's custody. Eager to end the whole affair the President wearily accepted paying 1,500 dollars a head.

[Mattis Returns to California but will be bed ridden until the end of this turn, Metzger gains major prestige and the NCRA's northern forces are demoralized]

 

[Door to Darknes]

"Hi dear Folks, Radio Sunshine here. Music, as long as the sun is shining.

But for now, i have some news for you. As you may know, we soon have Governor Elections.
Our Governor, which is to be expected one of the favourites for the coming election, has joined the NCFP, the New Californian Freedom Party. This new Organization was formed by Miss Van Graff, as you may have notices the last weeks, and tries to organize her voters base and followers.

Mr Jansen made the following statement regarding that:

"You can think what you want about the Van Graff's Past. I don't want to make too much comments about what was, but rather on what i saw in the last half year. I saw a woman who had the courage to strife for something that she believes in, even if it was sure at first that nobody would believe her. I saw a woman that gave her own fortune in many ways to better and save the lives of many people and, lastly, i saw a woman that wants to change things that are terribly wrong. It is a betrayal of the very ideal of the republic to let those slavers in Den go unpunished, to let the Shi make selfjustice in anothers ones Territory and that unsafety dictates what we have to expect from our future.

I had many chances to talk to Miss Van Graff. We share many political views and im sure she can do what has to be done, because what i saw last year in Shady Sands... that was hardly managable from a local point of view, that is something only national politics can fix."

Mr. Jansen, at the same time, made no statement about his candidacy for Governors Office.

Some people believe that he is going to be part of Miss Van Graffs Cabinet, maybe Secretary of Treasure. Others believe that his own fortune has run dry, as he donated much money the last years to further his political career, mostly with no success. Well, in my opinion, i think he was a good Governor. I would like to have him stay at his Office, but if he really thinks to move forward, good luck and let your heart stay in Shady Sands.

Well, the next we play a bit 'Crawl out through the Fallout'."

Permission granted Chief yet be forwarned, morale has never been lower on the northern front and we have received reports that Metzger might be planning a counter-attack soon. With the current state of the army and our concerns about enemy infiltration within the ranks, we'd rate the threat critical. Furthermore, we've received reports that the slavers might have recovered AA weapons, therefore, air support in the coming months will be limited unless the situation begins to significantly deteriorate. Good luck Elise, the nation's prayers are with you.

Within the Van Graff campaign headquarters there is much buzz, reporters and top donors having been invited to a small luncheon with the promise of a 'very important announcement'. At the head table sits Tiaret Van Graff, her campaign manager and chairman of the NCFP Jay Holderman, other top campaign officials and even more curiously Governor Lars F. Janson - who is seated on her right.

After opening proceedings Tiaret Van Graff rises from her seat.

"Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thank you for coming today, we only appreciate the support that many of you have given us over these few months - from our humble beginnings with my declaration in Redding to our now nation-wide campaign, and our newly-founded party. I have great dreams not only for the party but for our nation, and what we can achieve together. It is after all a united effort, and no person - man or woman - can do it alone, and that is why I am also most grateful for my campaign staff: without them we would not be where we are today.

Of course though there is a great question that still looms, one that many have asked me: 'who is your running mate?' and that is a very difficult question, one I have battled with for months...after all my running mate will be my chief confidant, my closest friend and ally, and their role in any administration I run will be very important. And I do finally have an answer, one no doubt many of you have been looking forward to.

I am proud to announce that Governor Lars Fredrick Janson, a man who has done so much for this state and its people, will be my running mate - I can think of no better individual to stand beside me as we step forward into a new dawn and a brighter future. And I sincerely hope that all of you gathered here today will give him the same support and friendship that you have given me."

Tiaret motions for the governor to stand as the campaign officials and assembled donors clap, welcoming Janson into his new role within the campaign.

 

[King50000]

Radio broadcast by Chief Elise to all NCRA northern front units and positions.

" Soldiers, no doubt you have all been informed by now that I have been named acting commander of the northern front while General Mattis recovers from his wounds, those he has suffered both from battle and as an enemy prisoner. I have been informed by both the Joint Chiefs and General Mattis' staff that the situation all across the front seems bleak, and that morale has never been lower. Well I am here to tell you to man up and stop feeling sorry for yourselves! You are soldiers of the NCR! When the situation gets tough you do not roll over and wait for the end to come. No, you stand up, brush yourselves off, and show the enemy what true Californians can do! We are the New California Republic's Army! We fought the Enclave at Navarro. We fought the Brotherhood of Steel in Maxson. We've fought raiders, slavers, tribals, cannibals, and mutants all across our vast Republic. We have fought and bled and suffered defeats against all these foes, and yet we are still here! We have overcome each and every one of them and brought not only peace to our Republic, but freedom and justice for those enslaved by tyrants and madmen. That is what you all are doing here, on the front lines against the Den. You are not only the wall standing between our people, our friends and family, and enslavement by Metzger and his demons, but the shining sword that will bring freedom to all those still suffering beneath them.

I know you all grieve for your friends and comrades who perished outside the walls of the Den, I grieve alongside you, but we cannot allow our grief to turn into despair. Would the fallen want us to wallow in our grief and allow the Den to wash us away beneath their waves? No! They would want us to remember their sacrifice and use our grief to strike back against Metzger and the Den, harder and stronger than before! So I ask all of you, will you sit here and let Metzger do whatever he wishes? Enslave whoever he wishes? Or will you stand with me on the fire-step? For that is where you will find me when the armies of the Den show up outside our defenses, standing shoulder to shoulder with my brothers and sisters against the evils of the wasteland. Join me and avenge your fallen comrades. Remember their sacrifices! Remember Willowcreek! "​

Sandy Shades, Part two
9 July, 2263

And as Tiaret gave him that uplifting wave, Janson stands up and waves like when he is on one of his campaigns in the open air, before he starts to clap to Tiaret so that when he stopped clapping, it symbolisied the end of that little praise and also a little symbolic 'thank you' to her.

"Thank you very much Tiaret." He looks back to the little crowd of people and like usual, he tried to gave everybody a direct look in the eyes while he talks to give the impression to tlak direktly to everyone.

"It is a great honor, but also an duty and responsibility i don't want to hide from.

After the Problem of Shady Sands i can't hide behind a Governors Desk anymore and pretend to have everything in control. The abduction of Governor Harold, as well as the economic situation in Shady Sands have shown me that states often suffer from problems that are too great that one state can deal with it alone, simply because they have no access to the situation.

In this regard i want to thank Tiaret to give me her trust and let me help her undo the mistakes of Peterson. The future of a democracy doesn't start in Congress, it starts in elections. In the very question who the people entrusts the right to debate. That is no lightly privilege and can be the drive of change, if you give us your trust.

As a last Announcement from my side, although i won't participate in the next Governors Election, a dear friend of mine, Dellas Armstrong founder of the Armstrong Initiative, who also joined the NCFP last week will, i hope you support him because i certainly do. Thank you very much."

And again, under the sounds of a little applause, he sits down again and gives a little smile to Tiaret.

To: The Merchant Families of Sac-Town
From: J.F. Mahoney, General Counsel for Wright Distilling Co.

Having heard of the recent outrages against Territorial sovereignty inflicted upon your city by the State of Frisco through the exhortations of Congressman Newman of the Hub, my client has instructed me to offer your city his assistance in organizing your part of Great Valley Territory for a statehood bid as soon as possible.

If you consider the situation you city fathers of Sac-Town find yourself in, I am sure you will agree that statehood would be the most efficient method to protect your sovereignty from a fellow sovereign state such as Frisco and its Shi government. While nothing is definite at the moment, a number of the New Reno's pillars of the community have made overtures of helping to fund such an endeavor. Besides legal advice and advocacy in the Hall of Congress, Wright Co. can also offer you the immediate dispatch of elite military advisers to help train your city police and/or volunteer militia into a proper state police force.

Just send the word. Property rights within the Great Valley Territory are of utmost importance to the ongoing prosperity of New Reno, and thus the Republic itself.

The Shi Chief Judge, Quing Jing

The "Trial" of Fred Masterson​

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the weather was mild. In downtown in Shi Town, it was buzzling with activity as many people of the Shi wished to watch the public trial of Fred Masterson. Extra Shi Guardsmen were put on duty just to make sure nobody were hurt, and when the rows inside the courtroom were filled up, the doors were closed, and the crowd dispersed.

Inside the elaborately decorated courtroom, the supposed murderer, Fred Masterson, who came under intriguing observation by the onlookers, was brought into the room escorted by two guards. The crowd was loud even before the Fred was brought in, and afterwards they turned louder, only silencing when they heard a gong, and when two doors opened in the left side of the room, they all stood up. First came in Sun Tzu-Yan, and his sons, Sun Jae-Ling and Sun Kong-Sang. They would act as half of the 'lesser' judges. Three additional 'lesser' judges would join them, on the other side of a raised chair, on the already raised podium. The six persons stood behind each of their chairs, and when another gong was heard, a seventh person walked into the room. This was Chief Judge Jing, who would judge Fred Masterson. When he sat down, the six 'lesser' judges sat down, and the crowd was allowed to sit down as well. With all important people in the room, the "trial" could begin.

Sun Tzu-Yan rose, opened a book, and began to speak:
"Mr. Fred Masterson, you stand accused for the torture, mutilation, murder, the indecent deaings with a body of a Shi guardsman, thievery of the weapon of a Shi offical on duty, and previously a refusal to cooperate with Shi officals, on Shi soil. Your own people have abandoned you, and thrown you towards us as a form of tribute. Now, what do you plead?"

"For my crimes, I plead guilty."

Sun Tzu-Yan looked at Quing Jing, and then sat down. From his seat, the Chief Judge said:
"As you plead guilty of your crimes commited on Shi soil, we are obligied to use Shi laws to judge you. And when we return in a moment, we will have a ruling ready."

Some minutes later, the seven judges returned to the room. When the room was silent once again, the Chief Judge stood up, and said:

"Mr. Fred Masterson, for the crimes with malicious intent, and with murderous outcomes, we in the council of judges, have decided to sentence you to 35 years in prison, with the possibly of extension or reduction of said sentence. We have also decided for you to have one last wish, before this court is over."

"Please, do not bring your ill will and thirst for revenge upon my family."
​

The Chief Judge looked at Sun Tzu-Yan who nodded, and then said: "It shall be so, your family will not be harmed when it comes to this particular case."

And with that, Sun Tzu-Yan got his revenge on the water merchants.

[Cleeque]

California under Broderick - Bread and Order

" In this election we shall not merely be relaying the fasces from one person to another, no, not again - in this election we shall be choosing, for the first time in our history we shall truly, totally be choosing. We will be choosing between administration that is a mirror of the past, a past of corruption, treachery and increasing, every widening inequality. Between an administration that is merely, as I have stated in the past, what is merely another waiter for the same set of meals and an administration that will flip the tables. An administration, a president, and a set of ideals that will from then until the end of time transfer decision making power from Shady Sands HQ, from the oligarchs and from the bureaucrats, to the people of the new California Republic!

Do not bend to the national media, to the voices of the oligarchy that merely wish to discredit, spit, and throw shit upon myself and what I stand for. They shall do so now and they shall do so when I'm dead - they will not be able to utter the vary syllables 'Bro-de-rick' without throwing a kick out at my corpse. And why? Because I challenged them. Their power their authority. I am for the poor man. All poor men. Ghoul and 'uman, Tribe and Civilized, Man and Woman - they all gotta have a chance. A shot at the Californian dream in the wasteland that is the very world today. Give them a home, a decent job, and an education for their children. They need peace, they need order, theyneed dignity, and they will not shut up until they do."

Publicized communique of the MLC and the RMU

Dear Congressman Broderick,

Recently there has been speculation from some in your Mead and Labour Charter about me running for President of this Republic in your place, I have no such intentions at this moment, I have problems to solve in my home state before I could even think of such a thing. I am writing this letter to consult with you about an endorsement, I am willing to endorse you for your presidential efforts if you will publicly promise to if in office:

- Nationalize the gold industry
- Pass a labour bill of rights for a nationwide minimum wage, safety standards and union rights
- Fight for Ghoul equality and against Ghoul discrimination, this would include acts such as the ones proposed during the Vault City Crisis by Former congressman Hayson
- Enact a Northern Infrastructure bill to develop the states of Redding, Klamath and Arroyo

If all of these pledges could be made than I would, join the Mead and Labour Charter, publicly endorse your candidacy for president either now, or in 6 months just before the presidential race begins (your choice), push for the Redding Miners Union to endorse you and assist your campaign in my home state to the best of my abilities.

I would need you to publicly endorse the previously outlined policies before I do my end of the deal.

I hope you will consider my offer, those of us in government who fight for the people and not the rich stand together, but the only way we can do this is by actually fighting for the same things.

Thank you,

Congressman Abraham Houston, Redding

Dear Mr. Houston,

I have been in politics for almost half a decade now. For half a decade I've been working, tirelessly, at times effectively, and for what? Not to see myself at the head of a consortium of liars and thieves. Not to abandon my principles and compromise with those who aim for nothing but to expand their wealth and influence. No. I've been working to spark a movement. To set off a domino effect. To inspire. To give those who once had no voice, one that screams and shouts into the years who try to ignore it. Now, it appears, the voice is starting to be listened to - the dominoes have fallen - the movement has begun.

This is not my movement. This movement belongs to not to one man, but to the people. I have no right to monopolize it. Therefore, I commend you. You have most effectively, most quickly, organized a certain group of people against those who harm and exploit them. Finally, I have an ally. I have one who, like I, wishes the best for his home and his democracy. I have a friend.

The policies you line out here, I have endorsed time and time again, you needn't even ask me whether I agree with them, though, I'll go over my views once more.

Time and time again, the uber-rich have shown themselves as untrustworthy keepers of our people's resources. Time and time again, when the situation called to them to tighten their belts, to cut down on how they lavishly spend, they have instead sought to scrupulessly fire the workers who have worked loyally to them for years. It is time to pass what belongs to the people by constitution - to all people, in equal share - back, directly, into the hands of the people. This applies especially to the Gold Industry. The Industry, upon whose resource our entire economy is based upon, to which our currency is directly pegged to. Who owns it? Who has the lion's share of the gold-mines. No one knows better than you and your comrades - the Van Graffs and their cruelty. It must be taken away from them. We cannot give the Van Graffs an advantage over other, more honest businessmen.

That was first. Now second. Labour, rights, healthcare, education. Everyone deserves it. All the humans, all the ghouls, all of them deserve these fundamental rights of living things. Our nation has earned it. The people of the republic, those who have made it great, deserve it. Unions I am equally positive towards. Labour unions and agricultural unions. We must organize those with smaller amounts of wealth into consortiums, we must represent them politically, we must ensure that they have the ability to compete against large, more ruthless businessmen.

Likewise; the last two points. I will tell you truthfully, I have no opinion on this ghouls versus humans thing - it is petty to me. Unimportant. All these people, from both sides, seek to do, is to divide our people so they can control them. That is all. You mention infrastructure bills for the North. While I think our infrastructure quite sound in general, yes, I am a Klamathi by blood. The economic opportunities of this, now resource and agriculture core of the NCR, are infinite. It is time we exploit them. Fairly.

Now, with that clear, let me clarify my intention. Firstly, if I am to form a government, I need you somewhere in the cabinet. Vice President, Chancellor, Minister, Governor - whatever. You represent a people group I think it is very important to accurately represent. You represent a movement, a strain of thinking, which, if we are to create a fair and equal New California Republic, we desperately need at the helm of our goverment.

Likewise, I intend to write to Senator Carpenter, and inform her of my intention to offer her a position within the cabinet, should she desire one.

With respect and admiration,
John H. Broderick, Senator Klamath

Public Statement by Governor Turner of Dayglow​

After receiving reports of repeated tribal attacks on NCR settlements in the Baja Peninsula, I have seen fit to declare a state of emergency in Dayglow and call for the raising of a state militia. The militia will be moving into the peninsula to secure the properties of NCR citizens in the area while ensuring that tribal attacks upon their properties will cease. Local NCR Rangers will be assisting in the militia's efforts to protect our citizens.

Boneyard Prison

- Hayson, you got youself a visitor.
- Finally. - Former Congressman stood up and followed the guard to the visit room. There was a single man waiting for him wearing a formal version of vault 8 jumpsuit. They greeted each other with a quick nod and sat down.
- When are you going to bail me out? I know the judge set the deposit as high as possible, but we can still afford it
- There will be no bail, Frederick. - The other man was noticably unsettled. He was clutching his hat and avoiding eye contact
- What do you mean there will be no bail? We have a fund specifically for this very situation. I know we have the money.
- We do not. Harold froze all our assets. Including the accounts in the Lee's bank. And even if we had the cash, there still would be no bail.
- What?! Explain yourself!
- The Vault-Meds is no more. State administration completely restructurised it. They sacked the old board, gave shares to employees, made it one-third state owned...
- What kind of ghoulish communism is this?!
- Shut up and don't interrupt! - The visitor finally straightened up and looked Hayson straigth in the eyes. - You promised us money, riches and restoration of VC to its former glory. I did not care about your supremacist ideology and there were many like me. We were in it for the money and for the VC. But you used us. Your anti ghoul riots destroyed Vault City. Your propaganda made us the least liked state in the NCR. There was supposed to be money, but now we have nothing thanks to you. All our assets are now given away to the state and the employees. Personal accounts frozen. Vault turned into a prison. City main street completely ruined. Rioters burned half of the courtyard houses. VC now looks like shit and stinks like ashes. All thanks to you.
- B-b-ut
- No buts! You made this mess. There will be no bail. Even if we had the money to bail you out, we would still not help you. You ruined us and you ruined VC.
- It wasn't my fault! It's those ghouls from Gecko! And Dayglow!
- End with this 'ghoul conspiracy' thing. You know you are the only one to blame. I don't have anything to say to you. Good bye!
With that, the visitor stood up, turned around and left. Frederick Hayson, the former Congressman of the Vault City State was now all alone.
