[Curveballs On Phoenix]

William&Sonia

"Absolutely, now have fun in there. My men will secure your vault and transform it into yet another part of our ever so great society." William handed Alex a radio. "Use this if you need anything. It's tuned to my frequency and my frequency only. Don't try changing it, it's impossible."

William finished the exchange and saw Ann race into Alex's arms. He smiled and looked at Sonia who got control of herself. She gave him a grin and headed to the New Manhattan Building with William.

The two arrived at the building and headed inside. With a quick flash of identification, the two, escorted by four securitrons, headed to the Don's Office. "Don Francis."

[Tom Flanagan]

OOC: Erm.. Once again, Franks not in the mayors office, he's in the New Manhattan Mafia building.. I'll just RP along that you entered the Dons office, but please edit it later. Also, Frank wasn't in his suite, but in his office. Try and read the posts more carefully.

and Ant1iv3; I saw your pre-edit post. Just so you know.

Don Frank Vercelotti

Sitting on his chair, Frank was busy looking at some old files when suddenly Director William Snowe of the Gauss Project and his girlfriend Sonia Marx barged into his office, one of them calling out his name.

He grimaced for an instant due to this sudden intrusion, but quickly changed his expression to a pleasant smile. This guy put me in the position I am in now. I owe him my life. I should be happy to assist him in anyway he pleases. Plus he has a cute girlfriend. Frank thought to himself, eyeing both of them intently, spending more time looking at Sonia than William.

"How may I be of service, old friend?" he asked, ushering them inside with a warm smile. "Please, take a seat" he offered, pointing at the leather chairs in-front of his desk. "Can I offer you something? Tea? Coffee? Perhaps wine?" he smirked good naturedly.

[Laurenn Doylee]

OOC: Dark Zerker, I'd be best for the RP if Bravo team tells Evander that Alex is heading back to the vault, and then Evander can let go the hostages and be on his way.

[Da Missz]

OOC: Sure why not. Oh and Holy, I edited it. :celebration:

Bravo Team

"Alexander Scalatti is with our Director. On behalf of our entire squad, we advise you not to shoot our men. You'll be labeled as criminals of New Manhattan and be incarcerated or if our Director is in a bad mood, killed."

The squad tightened their grip on their weapons and very subtly changed the firing style to automatic.

William&Sonia

"Thank you." William offered Sonia a small glass of wine and he took a glass for himself. "There will be an inevitable counter-attack by the other big factions so while my men perfect our rockets and integrate the Plasma Lamp, I need a favor from you."

He turned to Sonia. "Please don't drink too much." She blushed intensely before William turned back to the Don. "Could you spare any men to create some Rocket Stations? I have the blue prints and all I require are some people who know how to use a blowtorch and wrench. My engineers are way too busy fixing my securitrons."

OOC: This is my way of "preparing" for the huge battle after the whole two week fast forward.

[Nathan Risch]

OOC: In a couple of posts, we will advance the RP about 2 weeks, since that seems to be the consensus.

Alexander Scalatti

"Ann, get to the penthouse and relax a bit, you need it, especially after you just went through." Ann took the key and ran over to the entrance.

Alex took out his radio and spoke into his merc's frequency, "Where are you guys?"
Vladimir picked up the radio, "You're alive?"
"Ya' think?"
Vlad laughed, "We are at the hospital, Mark breathed in some toxic gas."
Alex just about threw the radio in rage, "How in the hell did that happen!?"
"In the sewers, those project idiots put some gas into the sewers while Mark and Francis were planting the bombs."
"Damn it, be there in a bit."


Alex an over as fast as he could. He entered the hospital and took the elevator to Mark's hospital room.

"I'm here!" Alex yelled panting.
Francis walked over sadly, "He's dead."
Alex put his hand over his face. "No..no..NO!"
"I'm sad to, he's my bro." Francis lamented.
"I knew him since the vault, all of you."

Alex left the hospital and walked toward the small part of Central Park that was still a park. He needed some quiet time to himself.

[Laura Hicks]

Don Frank Vercelotti

Once the pleasantries had passed, the Director got down to business; "Could you spare any men to create some Rocket Stations? I have the blue prints and all I require are some people who know how to use a blowtorch and wrench. My engineers are way too busy fixing my securitrons." he requested.

Frank paused for a moment and leaned back in his chair, sipping his own glass of wine. "Ofcourse, I would readily give you my men. Exactly how many do you need?" he asked.

OOC: I need to know one thing; who is it that's interfering in the New Manhattan Revolution? And why? From a Fallout lore standpoint, BoS might be the first to come by, seeing as they did something similar around the time of the scourge in the Pitt, but I don't know. I don't see any real reason for anyone to rebel, as GP is clearly capable, and don't seemingly have any evil intent whatsoever. They aren't fascist either, considering it was the Don that killed the mayor, not the GP. Basically the relationship between GP and Mafia are such that, whatever dirty work the government (GP) needs done, the Mafia does it for them, like a shadow government.. No one else would have reason to intervene.. Can someone explain the exact situation? I don't feel comfortable if there are plot-holes, sorry. :shrug:

[Steven Hardman]

OOC: Several powers have been eyeing New Manhattan for some time now:

1. The Lake Federation.

2. The Institute.

3. Liberty Lost.

[Philip Lyon]

OOC: After all, if New Manhattan is weakened, all the other major powers would want it. In lore, the Brotherhood is the obvious choice and since this is a non-cannon area, there are other non-cannon factions that wish to seize control of New Manhattan. After the GP/Mafia - New Manhattan war, the whole place has been weakened on both sides and would be easy pickings for a takeover.

William&Sonia

William stared at a small piece of wall before he snapped back into existence. "My goal is to build a total of twenty towers stationed all across New Manhattan. We only have three up. For optimal results...45 people. Unless that's too much for you."

[Benito Martinez]

OOC: Okay thanks. Makes sense. In that case, it's not actually a "rebellion". But an attempt at conquer.. I get it now.

Don Frank Vercelotti

The Director, sitting opposite the Don was seemingly staring into space, before regaining his focus and answering the Dons question. "My goal is to build a total of twenty towers stationed all across New Manhattan. We only have three up. For optimal results...45 people. Unless that's too much for you."

Forty-five guys? Are you kidding me? I wipe my ass with forty-five guys.. This organization is a lot bigger than this guy thinks. Frank thought to himself, rather offended.

Clearing his throat, Frank responded; "I'll have fifty of my men sent to your base for briefing. I trust they will be armed, and taken care of during this operation". He then picked up the radio calling one the high ranking members, asking his to send fifty men over to the base of the Gauss Project. "Make sure they go in fives. We don't want them drawing too much attention" Frank commanded over the radio.

"You got it, boss" the man on the other end of the line said, disconnecting the call.

Frank faced William Snowe and his girlfriend once more. "There you have it. Anything else I can help you with?" he asked pleasantly.

OOC: So, this is preparation for the war, right? Also, it would be nice if your next request is for Frank to oversee the battle itself in a couple weeks time. If you're okay with it, maybe you could ask Frank to join you at your base, because the city might be unsafe, or something.. After 2 weeks ofcourse..

[Alex Vincent]

OOC: Well kind of...

William&Sonia

William thought of the impending battle and Byron's preoccupation of the whole "mayor" thing. He sighed. "Most of my commanders are either dead, incompetent, or still in training. Byron is the only good choice but he's way too busy trying to be mayor. So what I'm proposing is you oversee my Second Legion."

Sonia looked at William like he was crazy. And sure, he was quite crazy, asking somebody that's not of Gauss Project origins to oversee half of the entire Gauss Project army.

[Dalton Greynolds]

OOC: What do you mean "well kind of..."?

BIC:

Don Frank Vercelotti

After a short moment of thought the Director began; "Most of my commanders are either dead, incompetent, or still in training. Byron is the only good choice but he's way too busy trying to be mayor. So what I'm proposing is you oversee my Second Legion."

Frank nearly spit out his wine upon hearing this. He noticed how Sonia looked at the Director like he had lost his mind, and began wondering the same. Frank thought for a moment, swallowing his wine.

Well, I guess this is the price of being the Don in a state like this. Maybe this is why Don Malone killed himself, maybe he knew this would be coming. Maybe he knew of the tough times ahead, that even money couldn't compensate for.. Frank contemplated.

"Well first of all, I would like to say, I am honored that you would choose me to take command of something this big" he started. Controlling the Mafia and half of the Gauss Project together is no small feat. Frank thought to himself.

"I accept this position, but you may know, I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to taking command. I've only been at this for a couple days." he continued, unsure how to proceed. "What exactly would you have me do?"

OOC: I suggest Evander runs against Byron for mayor. Evander knows people, and he's been living in New Manhattan for a while, so he would make a good contender.

[patricia kris]

William&Sonia

William thought of what the Don had said. It was true, he had very little experience in controlling a large army like this. If not any. He did wonder if this was a good idea at all but there was no other choice other than losing New Manhattan.
"We can go through a one week session on how to command the Second Legion. Its strengths, weaknesses, and preferable tactics will all be covered in the sessions.

The idea here is that while I focus on counter attacks and total warfare, the Second Legion defends New Manhattan. Urban defense is quite easy if you have a large army since a sniper can take out entire platoons if positioned correctly."

Sonia again looked at William with another uncertain look.

[NEGRO]

OOC: My chars merc group did sabotage half the city and did kill many of your men. They would make a good military elite squad...just suggesting.

[Josh Trembly]

Don Frank Vercelotti

Franks ears perked when he heard the phrase urban defense. "Oh, so it's staying within the city?" he asked, relieved. "That's perfect" he smiled. "I'll handle what's going on, on the inside no problemo." he boasted confidently. "As long things stay in the city walls, you can count on me" the Don said leaning closer "This city shall remain ours. Of this, we can be sure" he announced solemnly.

He noticed how Sonia kept glancing over at William with a less-than-enthusiastic expression, but he paid no attention to it. The broad doesn't know me. She doesn't know what Im capable of over here. Over a hundred targeted assassinations to my name, not a single person ever knew about it. The fact that she's unsure proves my subtly. Frank assured himself in his mind, smiling.

[Roisan Sweeney]

Alexander Scalatti

Alex plopped himself down into a park bench and thoughts raced into his mind. Why did I let Mark go into the sewers! Its my fault that he is dead." A few seconds later, a muscular man came over and sat next to him.

"Hey Alex." Vlad said sadly. He was wearing a fur coat with a commie hat. "Whats wrong?"

Alex looked into the ground, "I just led one of my best friends to their death....."
Vlad put his arm over Alex's back. "Its not your fault."
"Yes it is! If I didnt send him in the first place, he would still be alive."
"How in the name if a siberian rad-tiger did you know that the sewers would be gassed?"
"I dont know!!"

Alex rushed to his feet and began to walk away, "I need some alone time! Please!"
"Its not your fault! Remember that!" Vlad yelled before sitting down on the bench.

[Lifee Mccaslin]

OOC: What's a commie hat? :rofl: Anyway, what's the word Alex, got anything in mind?

[Victor Oropeza]

OOC: What's a commie hat? :rofl: Anyway, what's the word Alex, got anything in mind?

OOC: You know, like those Russian Communist hats? I dont know the exact name for it.

When will we fast forward this thing? I say right now but maybe we should wait for Ant1Iv3 to post.

[Karine laverre]

OOC: Yeah, let's give him a chance to wrap things up before moving ahead. It's a lot to catch up on as it is.. Zerker, and Ant1iv3, waiting for your posts..

PS: You sure must be proud Alex. To be the host of the current most successful RP in the Fallout section!

Also, another idea. Let's wait until this topic hits the limit before forwarding. That way it can be more clear and consistent. We won't have to look back at an old topic, in order to understand what's going on. Wrap things up in this one, and save the juice for the Thread 3. Also Alex, link thread 1 and 2 in each new thread.

:)

[Sierra Ritsuka]

OOC: I think its funny that you two have not mentioned my char in your conversation. I just bombed Central Square into Oblivion and diverted the cities water onto the Empire Estate Street.

I am proud. I wonder what happened to the Warren and those other RPs.

I will link those in the next thread.

[Causon-Chambers]

OOC: I guess that the fast forward will happen on Thread 3. A "Commie hat" is called an Ushanka or something like that. And I take offense to that. I wear Super Commie Hats.

William&Sonia

"The point of the Second Legion is if they break through my First Legion. A word of warning. I've seen the Lake Federation and they may be incompetent as a military, they have some damn good technology."

William recollected at his encounter with the large Lake Federation outpost/city and almost shuddered at what the Federation might bring if they chose to attack the New Manhattan area. Sonia kept drinking until she started to complain about a headache in a slurred fashion. William mentally sighed and took her by the arm gently.

"About time I head back. We have two weeks to plan for the upcoming battle and I intend to win with minimal casualties."

[Mark Hepworth]

OOC: I meant no offence whatsoever Vlad is from Siberia so I felt that he should be wearing those Russian Hats.

[Richard Thompson]

OOC: I could have posted earlier today, but after I left my friends house for elated thanksgiving I played my BRAND NEW FALLOUT NEW VEGAS GAME THAT I JUST GOT TODAY, so I have been neglecting these forums. ON a good note, the game is awesome, but hard as well. I'm thinking about going hardcoe and starting the game over. Whaddaya say?

I know this is sidebar, but its essential to Fallout. :hubbahubba: Answer viz PM when this thread runs out. Also part of the reason this RP is so successful is because we post alot of unnecessary OOC thank slightly clunk up the thread, making it longer than usual. In addition, our posts are shorter than any posts I've seen in any other RP ever. I'm not saying this to take away from you Alex, just to clarify. The Warren died because it took too much from the people to keep something alive for so long. ALl this taken into consideration, I am proud to be apart of this RP, and will try to dedicate myself more to it (after I make sure my schoolwork is up to par, my high school ain't no joke.)

Lastly, I'd love to run for Mayor. And ummm...Zerker, how are we going to end this?

Evander Jamison

Evander called up to Issac, who was manning the tanks cannon. "Issac, who these guys what we're made of." Issac turned the cannon around to the GP building and fired two cannons into the base, one at the wall, and one into the building's opening. The whole time, one of Issac's men had the machine-gun attachment still trained on the group of soldiers. Evander turned to face George. He nodded. George nodded back and fired his gun into the temple of his hostage, then strafed back behind the tank, holding the enemy at constant gunpoint. Evander then spoke up.

"Now, I'm going to either let him go, or kill him and move on in 10 seconds, but the decision I make is based on you. Tell me where Alex is or get out of my way."

[Irmacuba]

OOC: Fallout New Vegas ftw. Oh and also...Caesar's Legion and Mr. House are the best. I know that's my opinion but I'm right ^_^

Bravo Team

"Yes...yes thank you Director Snowe."
The platoon leader looked at Evander and his small crew with amusemant. "Alex Scalatti is headed down to the Luxury Bunker down in the Gauss Project Underground Facility. You won't be able to get in there. That tank right there...will be gone in a minute along with you if you don't move."

He radioed the Gauss Project HQ. "I've marked the coordinates. Danger close."
"Firing for effect. Small missile barrage ETA 1 minute 33 seconds"
The platoon leader looked back at Evander. "I was wrong...you have 1 minute and thirty three seconds to move."

[Cat]

OOC: If he's at the GP Underground Facility, then where am I?

"Alex Scalatti is headed down to the Luxury Bunker down in the Gauss Project Underground Facility. You won't be able to get in there. That tank right there...will be gone in a minute along with you if you don't move."

Evander heeded his words and moved, then stopped and looked as he heard static from the squad leader, who had his fingers pressed to his ear.

"I was wrong...you have 1 minute and thirty three seconds to move." Evander turned, sensing the urgency in his voice, and climbed on the tank as it rolled off the premises. In the distance he could make out what seemed to be missiles heading his way.

[Reven Lord]

OOC: Right now, Alex Scalatti is at the only part of old Central Park that is still a park. (Ok, that was a bit clunky.)

I have played FNV for about 79 Hours now on my main. I hate Caesar's Legion, Mr. House, and NCR, so I supported Yes Man.

Ok, someone has to do the honors of the last post of this thread before we fast forward two weeks. Whoever still needs to finish up some stuff can take it.
