Ambassador Turner - The Kings
"Right, that's a brilliant idea. The Kings start a war with the NCR, drive them out of Freeside, winning House's trust, which allows them to stay in Freeside, and now we're just gonna move out because some people would rather continue to depend on NCR goods as opposed to cheaper, home grown produce. I suppose you're right.
As I said, in future, once Freeside is stable, we can talk about opening up trade with the NCR, but seeing how Freeside is still rather chaotic, and seeing as how there are two more slums the Kings must account for, we need to focus on being dependent on the Mojave and the Mojave alone. If that means we need to come down hard on NCR sympathizers right now, then that's what we're willing to do."
Ambassador David Draiman-Mr. HouseThe Kings are what Freeside needs. They keep it safe and under control, and don't ask for a lot in return like the NCR would.
If you let the NCR caravans to and fro the strip, then I have no problem with your ideas, for the most part.
If you interfere with NCR citizens and caravans, then we will have a problem.
Ambassador Turner - The Kings
*Turner pinches the bridge of his nose, ashing his cigarette and taking another drag.
"Right, well I guess the bombs also blew away a man's sense of sarcasm, but that's alright. Seeds, the Co-Op in Westside handles our vegetation, and I imagine Goodsprings isn't averse to the idea of trading with us. Woods? Jacobstown, we can trade with them, they're just a short walk's away. Metals is a bit trickier, I haven't really got an answer for you on that one."
*The egg was on his face now. Turner put his cigarette out in the ashtray and sat back in his seat, pensive. After thinking it through, he grudgingly raised his head towards the representatives.
"Steve, as much as I'd like to fully support the GMCG, and as much as I am starting to dislike Wilson over here, I'm afraid the situation in Freeside is too dire to get picky about who we allow to sell to us. I'll allow NCR caravans to trade in Freeside, but the Kings themselves maintain their agreed deal with Goodsprings, and will not do business with the bear."
Steve, mind yourself please. Beginning conflicts does not help anyone. If someone makes a rash or heated decision, it might leave House no choice but to stick with the congress we created.
Turner, you don't have to do business with the NCR. You just need to let them in, to keep the economy going.
