Vik watched as Hale exit the tent and 5 mins later after, Reed came out too.

"Reed, Is there something wrong?" Vik asked politely while looking towards Reed.

OOC: Sorry for the Short post.

Jeff Torres

"My decision, is to not blow Nipton to the ground, but follow on route to the Mojave to make sure we get into the action too. Make sure Ranger Jackson is ready for battle and I'll go speak to the three.", said Reed. He then picked up his pack and walked outside.

Torres turned to Captain Ross. "Reed is right, you should pass the information about the impending attack to Ranger Jackson.", said Torres. "I recommend using the most secure frequency you have...Legion SIGINT is not good, but you never know. I'm going to talk to the Rangers and see what they want to do. We need to get thier numbers down at least some to give Jackson as much time as possible."

Torres then walked outside to see that Reed and another Ranger were talking, presumably about what had just happened. The female Ranger and the mutant were not in sight. Torres walked up to Reed and his companion and spoke to them.

"While we cannot hold Nipton against the second wave, we have enough men to ambush the first wave....we can wipe them out here without destroying the town. That would reduce the threat Jackson faces by nearly 25%, we can then fall back on Mojave Outpost and use mines and snipers to harass the larger force when it comes, that will buy time for Jackson to get reinforcements from within the NCR. They have to take the 164, we can take advantage of that to slow thier advance. We could even try a Boulder City type surprise at the old Nipton Rest area West of here, aside from the Jackal Gang, no one will care about that. If we are going to ambush the First Wave, we need to plan it out within the next couple hours and prepare. If you could gather your comrades, I have a basic plan...together we can decide how best to do this."

Upon arriving in Nipton, troops were scrambling about with barricades, adjusting for the legion's assault. It appeared as though they were staying although this could just be temporary. I walked into town, Tom at my heels, and we saw Zack and Oliver. I gave all of them a turn at looking at our battle plans, and they all filled in what they had been doing, and what they planned on doing now that i had shown them the plans.

When i looked at the filled in map, i saw that Zack had placed 3 rigged shotguns, 7 concealed mines, 12 bear traps, as well as placing poisoned pieces of scrap metal, directed at the enemy to halt movement, and should any find themselves scratched by it, they would soon meet their end. I realized that all of these would not be set, in fact, i thought maybe only 40 % of these traps would work, but we could use all help possible. Oliver told me about how he had helped cover the fences around the Mojave outpost in Sandbags and Scrap metal, so the fence now resembled a wall now. The buildings had all been connected with catwalks, and sandbags to protect from the advancing enemy.

We had also mapped out our retreating positions, and Tom had succeeded in making 20 bottle cap mines, along with 15 concealed mines, and 5 grenade bouquets. Upon our retreat he would space them out to take out all the Legionnaires he could, without any chain reactions. Upon our retreat, we would wait until the NCR troopers had fallen back to the Mojave outpost, then me and Oliver would find higher positions to snipe out the enemies, while Tom and Zack placed the mines and traps to cover our retreat. Once they were ready, they would radio in to me and Oliver, who would cover their retreat. Me and Oliver would then run back, avoiding the traps, and picking off whatever leaders we could on our retreat to the outpost.

I was unsure of the reinforcements Ranger Jackson would be recieving, but we were prepared to be stranded. In case the Mojave outpost did end up being lost, we would retreat and fall back to the Mesquite Mountains Camp Site, where we would make our next decisions.

Sun awoke sitting on the floor, it had been a long day and he most have just collapsed after getting the top floor of the town hall. A grunt accompanied him as he got to his feet and looked out the window and the fortifications. Looking back at the supplies he gathered - 6 machetes, 4 grenades, and 25 spears – it would not be enough, thinking back to the nearby animals, he remembered a man in town who hired him to go and get him some bark scorpions, he had been also hired to feed them and had continued to. It would not be hard to move the scorpions to the front and get someone to rig it to be released when the legion attacked.

Sun proceeded downstairs after tucking the grenades inside a med kit strapped to his waist. He went and searched for someone to give him a hand with his plan. He found one sleeping of all places INSIDE THE TOWN HALL!. It was a young female trooper sleeping on one of the couch, this was suprising for Sun he hadent planned on any soldiers being in the town hall until the attack. But the female would do, the question was how to wake her. He decided to just shake the soldier lightly to wake her, not the most pleasant but then again but grabbing her by the clothing and violently shaking her would be worse.

So Sun reached down and shock the soldier lightly till she started to wake up then bent down to her eye level and said quietly -Rise and shine sleeply before the Deathclaws get you in your sleep-

OOC: Erm Dagh, provided this is me you're confronting, I'm on a couch (sofa) in the town hall, not in a stage coach. Best fix that as I that doesn't make sense to my character.

IC:

Elizabeth 'Lzzy' Hale
Lzzy's sleep was disturbed by heavy hand upon her shoulder shaking her lightly, a low voice accompanied it "Rise and shine sleepy before the Deathclaws get you in your sleep."

Lzzy stirred awake and opened her eyes and her vision was filled with a Super Mutant face eyeing her closely. Lzzy pushed herself up and backed up against the arm of the coach in shock. She narrowed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh Sun, its you, you startled me. I decided to sleep here for the night because I kind of went on a bit of a rant at the guys in the tent last night and retired here to stay out of their way as I didn't want to be near them at the time, I figured this was best place to go. I'm Hale by the way, you gave me some gecko steak yesterday afternoon remember? Delicious I must say, now what do you want?" she said sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

Sun pulled a spear from the bag behind him, “I need some help setting up a few defences.” Pointing to the tip “legion weapons are weak, but the native scorpions poison will fix it so they are funnelled into some traps. Also other beasts likely aren’t far the smell of death will draw them, so it won’t be hard to find some to catch to use on legionnaires. Finally I know where some trapped scorpions are and I need help rigging a release for them.”
Moving back a bit from the trooper named hale “the day is ticking there is much to do, the legion forces will take the town if we do not prepare enough forces.”

With that Sun grabbed a trooper passing by “fetch the dead, boy and set them in a pile, and strip them of any weapons. There is hunting to be done.” The scared trooper rushed to do as he was told almost tripping over his own feet in his first few frantic steps.

Turning back to hale “shall we get started”

"Good thinking! said Lzzy "However that may not be enough, we may have to lure them back towards the Mojave Outpost for an ambush, but a few extra casualties before won't hurt." An evil smirk crept across Lzzy's face at the idea.

Sun grabbed a trooper passing by and started him in the face “Fetch the dead, boy and set them in a pile, and strip them of any weapons. There is hunting to be done.” The scared trooper rushed to do as he was told almost tripping over his own feet in his first few frantic steps.

Lzzy chuckled to herself..

Sun turned back to Lzzy. “Shall we get started?"

"Lead the way" replied Lzzy, then a thought crept into head as her and Sun stepped out into the morning sun. "Sun...Do you have a good throwing arm?"

Turning to hale Sun replied “I am okay but I am no pro, my mastery is of survival and melee. Though I did pick up several things from chucking the tin men heads at them. Ohhh I wish I could see their face’s when the newbie’s get their comrades bleeding head tossed at them and their frantically trying to get a good grip on it.”

Sun turned with a grin “I’m curious to what you have in mind though” As he headed towards one of the houses pulling the rug up reveal a key, he reached for the nearby Brahmin skull sitting on the window and pulled it down and a small click came from the door as the key was pulled into a slot. “key hold bomb trigger, owner very explosive and trap type of person” Proceeding inside he pulled a coat rack forward, 3 shotguns discharged suddenly into the wall to Suns left. “Very big trap fan” carefully sun went to a cage of barkscorpions moved a bookcase slightly and took a kitchen knife out and jammed it into the hidden mechanism that was under the bookcase. Lifting the bottom of the cage he brought the scorpions up into his arms, the scorpions brining no fight to the sudden movement as he brought the cage on an angle outside and put it on ground.

Hurrying back inside he opened trap door hidden by trap and got out a small box and took out a bottle of perfume and gently placed it on the ground, - so softly as if he almost feared any force would be sudden death- then removed a black whiskey bottle with a grin on his face “death is but mere temporary crippling pain” Turning the bottle slowly as he spoke. :chaos:

Walking towards the courtyard of the towns hall, I witness a trooper quickly gathering and stripping legion corpses of everything that could be used as a weapon.

"Trooper!..what is the plan for this?" I asked while looking towards him.

"Sir, the mutie wanted me to gather all weapons and strip everything that could help." He replied. I walked towards the troopers pile of bodies and turned towards him.

"Where are they now?" I asked.

"Dunno, they were in the town hall." he replied.

I walked over to the doors and proceeded in.

Elizabeth 'Lzzy' Hale
Turning to Lzzy Sun replied “I am okay but I am no pro, my mastery is of survival and melee. Though I did pick up several things from chucking the tin men heads at them. Ohhh I wish I could see their face’s when the newbie’s get their comrades bleeding head tossed at them and their frantically trying to get a good grip on it.”

Sun turned with a grin “I’m curious to what you have in mind though." Lzzy returned a grin herself, he should like it.

Lzzy watched as Sun retrieved a key from under a rug at the door of a house and then pulled on a Brahmin skull which clicked. Lzzy was intrigued.

“Key hold bomb trigger, owner very explosive and trap type of person” Sun explained.

Lzzy stood back and watched as Sun disarmed a trap before making his way to a large crate that must contain the bark scorpions. He brought the crate outside and set it down then headed back inside, placing a perfume bottle gently on the ground then stepped back, taking out a black whiskey bottle and grinned “Death is but mere temporary crippling pain.”

Lzzy raised an eyebrow at that, then asked "What's the perfume for?"

“The perfume is a highly concentrated pheromone, ant pheromones, enough to draw any nearby ants to you.” Smiling with a dark glint in his eyes “you do like ants, don’t you?”

gesturing to the black whiskey bottle “this on the other hand will make it feel like you got a stinger from a scorpion threw your arm and rapid pain floods your body till your heart just collapses from the strain” A smaller smile spread across his face “poison will last a long while and will make the body highly toxic, so it would be very deadly to eat it. But they will feel a short nightmarish pain before they die of a heart attack”

Planes flew over the Mojave Wasteland, dropping Arabic Army troops with full force, many men landed far off their target, others landed right on it. Senet's squad landed in the New Vegas strip and locked the area down

"Lock this area down!" barked her CO, Colonel Harry Linville, and they did so, the planes and paratroopers filled the skies, many died because of the area they landed, some drowned in the River or the Lake. Others landed in radioactive pockets, some landed in Mutant and raider territory. But the rest hit the ground.

OOC: Yeah I didnt approve no freakin invasion wtf are you doing guy, You asked if you could and i never gave you a answer so fix the post to you being with a group instead of a full invasion. thanks

I looked in the town Hall but saw no signs of Hale or Sun. then walked back towards the trooper...

"They're not in the town hall..." I said while walking towards him. The trooper looked towards my direction and with a confused look said "Well sir, I have no clue were they might of went." I then looked towards the direction of the general store and began walking towards it.

OOC: Yeah that invasion is bull, plus I've no idea who your character is.

"The perfume is a highly concentrated pheromone, ant pheromones, enough to draw any nearby ants to you. You do like ants, don’t you?”

"They're fairly tasty yeah" she said smiling.

Sun gestured to the black whiskey bottle “This on the other hand will make it feel like you got a stinger from a scorpion through your arm and rapid pain floods your body till your heart just collapses from the strain. Poison will last a long while and will make the body highly toxic, so it would be very deadly to eat it. But they will feel a short nightmarish pain before they die of a heart attack.”

"You're quite the sicko Sun" Lzzy said, laughing. "I take it that's stage two" she said, serious again, nodding at the whiskey bottle.

“Stage 2, yes when the legion real wave comes after all the pathetic troops this will be a present for them, spread onto several weapons which will be used against them. The perfume is.... well I think you can figure out who’s going to be the pretty ant queen that brings the bugs to turn the first line of soldiers into ant food.” A smirk on his face “you will make a lovely queen just don’t spray it while in the town, otherwise we will be up to our neck in ants for a while.......... “

At that time sun noticed Reed coming towards the general store, Turning to hale said to her “looks like Reed is back, wonder if he has any dynamite we can rig a pass up ahead to explode?”

"So.....I'm the Mojave AntAgonizer now?" Lzzy asked. "Yeah, I've heard stories about her, crazy chick, fought with this wannabe robot guy over in the DC area a few years back. Well...I must say, I've been involved in some strange plans but this tops it, what the hell, I'll do it."

Sun noticed Reed coming towards the general store. Turning to Lzzy, “Looks like Reed is back, wonder if he has any dynamite we can rig a pass up ahead to explode?”

"OK, you do that, I'm gonna start sorting out my present for you." Lzzy said smiling "Also, I'm gonna need your help for part of it, need someone strong to get something I need."

Sun turned and walked up to Reed as he neared the general store likely to the surprise as Sun had just came out of know where for him “Reed you have plenty of explosives correct? There’s a lovely hill with some big boulders that we can use for when the second wave comes if there stupid enough to take the road because it’s easier to speed the troop movements.” Pointing back towards the female soldier named hale “afraid I’m going to have to borrow her, I can’t really summon an army without someone to guide them. I get a feeling they will get a bite from our new the new friends the lovely lass will fetch “ he said with a dark, somewhat sadistic look on his face.

With Mercenaries close behind, i began to walk through town. The soldiers at the gate recognized me from my trip to the outpost and let me through. I proceeded to try and find a commanding officer, but i saw a stranger sight. There was a .. Super mutant helping a .. ranger? Upon seeing the Ranger my heart started to beat faster, but everything was beginning to slow down. The mercenaries didn't notice this, but i'm not sure if anyone else did. Was this the commanding officer? A million thoughts ran through my mind, but not a single one helpful. I was thinking of fleeing, i was thinking of shooting, but instead i kept walking trying to find someone... normal.

Elizabeth 'Lzzy' Hale

Lzzy went on search for the trooper that Sun had sent to collect the legion dead. She wandered around rather aimlessly, until he found him walking near the commanding tent.

"Trooper!!!" she shouted, to get his attention, running up to him.

"Ma'am?" replied the trooper, who saluted at Lzzy, still somewhat shaken after his little confrontation with Sun.

"Those legion bodies Sun sent you to pile up, I want you to retrieve all the machetes from them that you can find. I have use of them."

"What for?"

"Just do it" barked Lzzy.

The trooper ran off and a few minutes later returned with a bundle of machetes and handed them to Lzzy, Lzzy grabbled hold of one and juggled it in her hand, testing it's weight. "Yes, this will do. Carry on with whatever you were doing." Lzzy didn't wait for a response and headed back in the direction of where she last saw Sun.

Zyle Reed
Walking towards the general store out of no were Sun poped up...

“Reed you have plenty of explosives correct? There’s a lovely hill with some big boulders that we can use for when the second wave comes if there stupid enough to take the road because it’s easier to speed the troop movements.” Sun pointing back towards the direction towards Hale. “Afraid I’m going to have to borrow her, I can’t really summon an army without someone to guide them. I get a feeling they will get a bite from our new the new friends the lovely lass will fetch “ Sun Also explained.

I turned my eyes towards Sun and questioned

"Dynamite? Well i have 6 sticks right here if you want them. I can scavenge more off these legion soldiers and maybe a few powder gangers." I said while reaching into my coat pocket and handing Sun exactly 6 sticks of Dynamite.

"Now dont go blow your hand off while im up there giving sniper fire." I said jokingly. I then notice a few men walking the gates, and notice that the guards let them in so easly Oh great, we have hired gun's I thought to myself then turned back towards Sun.

Viktor "Vik" Chills
Viktor walked towards Reed and Sun and knew that it was almost that time to prepare, he also saw the men walking towards the direction of the two also. Once to the two, he looked towards his left and saw Hale returning with a pile of machetes.

"What the hell are those for?" Chills asked with a confused look. "You do know they the only army that fight with sticks and stones right? "Hahaha" what make you think we gone fight on their level." He said jokingly.

With a grin “yes we will need more and a lot of line for the trap, shame we don’t have time to make fence and heard bighorners that over near rock and send them at legion youth.” With that sun took the dynamite and turned to another trooper “find me the best explosive expert here, there is much killing to be prepared for”


With that sun headed back to sharpening spears so that when poison was applied they would break the skin easily and cripple or kill the enemy, as he was heading back he clapped his hand on viktor shoulder and said confidently " underestimate devious creativity or the power of ancient skills and you will be the one who dies, technology means nothing, look what your stupid technology has brought you. This hell hole you can barely live in and foes whos ancient technology has put you in such danger. The ancient ways are old but not to be underestimated it is a combat style that has returned even to your era of laser blasters, tin men, and toxic radioactive weapons." And with thoose words he left viktor as quickly as he came procceding to his work with ancient dillegence of warriors of the past.

Elizabeth 'Lzzy' Hale
As Lzzy was nearing Reed and Sun, Chills looked in Lzzy's direction. "What the hell are those for?" he asked looking confused. "You do know that they are the only army that fight with sticks and stones right? "Hahaha, what makes you think we're gone fight on their level." He said jokingly. Lzzy was about to counter this show of ignorance when Sun spoke up for her, clapping his hand on Chills' shoulder.

"Underestimate devious creativity or the power of ancient skills and you will be the one who dies, technology means nothing, look what your stupid technology has brought you. This hell hole you can barely live in and foes whos ancient technology has put you in such danger. The ancient ways are old but not to be underestimated it is a combat style that has returned even to your era of laser blasters, tin men, and toxic radioactive weapons." Sun started walking away to prepare the dynamite. Lzzy said her piece to the young ranger.

"See this?" she said, patting her own machete with her free hand. "My machete has served me well for nearly 10 years. It has saved my ass on many occassions. During my early years in the force I was surprised and ambushed by a lone legion trooper armed with a machete. He did it so well that it was hard to use my gun effectively and I barely survived, a skilled user of a blade and the element of surprise can be just as a fearsome weapon as a skilled sniper and his rifle. besides...I don't plan to use these machetes in their stock form."

She remembered what she was doing and ran after Sun, catching upto him. "Sun, if it's no trouble and you have the time, can you take down those crucifixes and cut the longer vertical post in half please."

Hale came up behind him requested him to take down the crucifixes and cut the longer vertical post in half please. His face slowly turning to aggression as his breathing increased from calm slow breaths to a fast strong rapid one he moved towards the posts and dragged them up from there position and dragged each to the middle of the road to the town hall. Within a couple minutes 6 crucifixes lay flat on the ground and sun head went into his bag for a tool to cut the crucifixes and went back in to the town hall he knew there had to be something in there. After a few minutes he found a hatchet hidden away likely some prospector or such hid it when Nipton was attacked. He took the hatchet returned outside and soon made short work of the task. Placing the hatchet into his bag he went back to hale “posts are cut “

Zyle Reed
When the two left Chills i then spoke up with wisdom

"What they say are true, Legion weapons might not be the best, but going against one that is an expert with a blade can greatly cost you your life. Our weapons are scarced so i advised you to be a master with a blade very quickly." I said. "You are a young ranger, a brother in arms, a friend and with that you going to earn your black armour on the performance you do at this battle." I also explained while putting my hand on his shoulder and wallking away towards the commanders tent.

I walked into the tent and saw Cpt. Ross reobserving the plan.
