The Fallen Civilization

So it seems the past repeats itself, the Bear and the Bull came to clash once more at the Second Battle of the Hoover Dam
Each had made new friends in the wasteland since first they clashed
Raider clans, heavily armored paladins, mutants, ghouls, and the remains of the old guard government.
All took their sides and met on the field of battle
This time they faced one more faction, only so recently born upon this cracked Earth. The Courier marched on the Hoover Dam, supported by Yes Man and his assemblage of robotic allies.

In its aftermath neither the Bull nor the Bear expected the Courier's armada of Securitrons. With Yes Man's help the Courier had taken control of New Vegas and left a wounded NCR in a state of Civil War and the Bull would never recover from the loss of their great leader, Caesar.

Remnants of Enclave Personnel took both of these as an opportunity to rise again. They unified in NCR Territory and began a long war that ended in defeat once again for the Enclave, however it weakened the NCR's military significantly and they are still rebuilding.


Cities and States both near and far have been effected by the Courier's actions.
Small Factions try to control areas uninhabited by the Great Powers, even Houston Texas, previously the 4th Largest City in America has fallen prey to these people, but they are willing to negotiate with one an other, in fact one group has called a meeting in the Grey Hawk Mercenaries's HQ.
Whether or not this will cause more bloodshed is up to fate.

Connor Alaskar, August 1st, Grey Hawk Mercenaries HQ
Connor Alaskar had finished his initial fortifications on his base, a skyscraqer originally known as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPMorgan_Chase_Tower_(Houston), his men were cleaning their guns, everyone was ready.
He stood on top of the Skyscraqer looking down below at the world before using a radio to broadcast a frequency throughout all of Houston
"Anyone with power should attend a meeting at the JPMorgan Chase Tower, perhaps we can negotiate terms for peace throughout the wasteland, anyone who arrives has free passage for this day only, anything after today will be seen as an act of war and you will be fired upon. I do hope that we can once again become a unified nation."
Anything that'll get them to show up.

Goliath-G.W.Bush Airport- Personal quarters

Goliath turned on his radio and began his daily broadcast, calling all outcasts to join him. A few minutes after his broadcast once he switched it over to music, Joe an F.E.V mutant and a D.J turned towards Goliath

"Boss we got a btoadcast calling all leaders to a meeting" Goliath looked at Joe and ordered him to gather The F.I.S.T troops and assmble thm at terminal 13B

"We shall rule this city Joe" Goliath rose from his throne and walked towards the terminal. Goliath looked out over his troops

"Men! Today we shall find who wishs to contest our rule. We will find those who accept us and those who wish to see us wiped from this earth! My brothers! Join me as I forge a kingdom for us, with steel and flame!" The horde of mutants cheered their approvment. Goliath ordered that the Shadows scout ahead and make sure The F.I.S.T's path was clear. Goliath's horde set out from the heavily fortified airport he looked around and saw hundreds of mutants, ghouls and humans cheering as him and his troops marched into the broken city.

As they approached the skyscraqer Goliath removed his helmet and called out

"I am Goliath uniter of people, I've come to negotiate peace!"

Ray Hagan, August 1st, San Jacinto Monument/Houston

Ray sat on his scrap metal seat and listened to the radio, the song: I don't want to set the world on fire. Ray's finger rose and descended, following the rhytm of the song.

"I don't want to set the world on..." *ztztztztzt* "Anyone with power should attend a meeting at the JPMorgan Chase Tower, perhaps we can negotiate terms for peace throughout the wasteland, anyone who arrives has free passage for this day only, anything after today will be seen as an act of war and you will be fired upon. I do hope that we can once again become a unified nation."

Ray sneered at the interruption. Who dares?! he thought, rising from his seat.

"My demons! With me, there is some trouble afoot."

Ray's bodyguards assembled from the shadows of the room around their leader, and they walked outside of the monument in unison. The tribesmen of the Redskins looked at the walkers, some grabbing weapons and attempting to follow, but Ray just stopped them with a wave of a hand. I shall not show my whole hand of cards to this... peacemaker. Ray thought, pondering about who was he about to face.

The group jogged through the ruins of Houston, and anyone they saw on the way quickly disappeared before invoking the wrath of this red troupe. The journey took it's time, but eventually the JPMorgan Chase Tower stood before Ray and his bodyguards. Ray eyed the structure warily, thinking that this might be a trap to slay all who had even a little degree of power within Houston. Nontheless, he went to the door and rasped out:

"Open your doors, you who summoned me here!"

The doors opened, and Ray, with his bodyguard, entered.

J.C Denton - August 1st

Denton was sitting inside his lavish office, listening to some old pre war music. The room itself had a feel of the Corporate. Suddenly, a radio transmission cutted off his music.

"Anyone with power should attend a meeting at the JPMorgan Chase Tower, perhaps we can negotiate terms for peace throughout the wasteland, anyone who arrives has free passage for this day only, anything after today will be seen as an act of war and you will be fired upon. I do hope that we can once again become a unified nation."

Denton got this communicatons, and summoned Commander Krios to his office.

*5 minutes later*

William was in Dentons office.

"The transmission was recieved on all radio's. The people right now are curious though. So Denton, shall we be off"?

"Yes we shall be off".

Denton got his ballisitc vest and wore it under his suit. He did not know, they would be expecting, so it was best to be cautious.

*30 minutes later*

Denton and Krios looked up to seeing the JP Morgan Tower which has survived for so long. Denton admired it, as it would be his new Wall Street when he takes over all of Houston. He entred in, with his Krios and 5 Haven Guards suited up.

"I am J.C Denton, CEO of Haven Corporation".

"My name is William Artyom Krios, Commander of Haven Defence Forces".

Both took there seats, with there guards behind them.

Connor Alaskar, August 1st, JPMorgan Chase Tower
A horde of mutated flesh and bone stood in the city, Connor wiped the sweat of his brow before speaking through a megaphone at the mutant's leader
"You may enter with 15 guards max, we cannot risk having an entire army here."
Connor then walked down the stairs to greet his next visitor
"You may enter, 15 guards max, and know that you're being surveyed by my forces while you are here, it's a safety precaution nothing more."
Connor walked slowly toward Ray Hagan and J.C. Denton.

J.C Denton - August 1st
Denton observed his surroundings carefully. He saw the mutant, and another man. Then, another man was walking to him.

"So, who might you be"?

[Krystina Proietti]

Ray "the Devil" Hagan, August 1st, JPMorgan Chase Tower

Ray stopped moving when the announcment of max 15 bodyguards came. Ray pondered for a moment if he should comply, but in the end he nodded to his guards and 10 went outside. Ray moved his gloved hand to conceal his rotting jaw, and then moved to a man walking towards him from within the tower. Another man entered with some bodyguards and revealed himself as J.C. Denton, the head of Haven corporation. Ray, with his mouth concealed by his hand, spoke loud enough for both men to hear:

"I am Ray Hagan, the chieftain of the Redskins, and I am here to see what you have to offer me."

And peace is not enough..... Ray thought, leaving his ponderings unvoiced. He knew that even if peace was the main goal here, some bloodshead was sure to follow this meeting for the ones in power within Houston would not see eye-to-eye. And with bloodshead, came opportunities, many, many opportunities.

Goliath called out

"I accept your terms" he then spoke into a headset

~the damned reporting in~
~keep this position locked in, switch to rad rounds~
~yes sir. Over and out~

The vox cut off as the damned confirmed Goliath's orders. He then raised the shadows on the comms

~shadows report in~
~this is widow maker~
~ghost here~
~phantom~
~spectre~

After they all reported in Goliath gave them orders to train sights on tower guards. Goliath ordered others to infiltrate building and ensure this want a trap.

Wyatt- Stoke- Hall of Necron

The Grand Oracle stood in front of his flock atop the altar of Necron. The hall they were in was a large one, holding hundreds at a time and made from old ship hulls. The mans words hung in the air and stuck with the flock like spores to a shirt. His voice was full of vigor and his hands helped form his words.

"...And she will decent from the heavens and we will bask in her light! She will help us form the New Paradise, a land without sin or hardship! But for this to happen we MUST find the apple, without the apple none of this is possible. So you see children THIS is why we must find the apple, it is the key to our everlasting haven, our salvation, our new, cleans lives!"

After hearing this the flock cheered and shouted things akin to "praise Necron" and "The apple". Hands flailed in the air and hurried prayers drifted through the air. Wyatt revelled in the praise, he had led worship today instead of the Grand Priest of the word because it was the first of the month, Necron's day. The Grand Oracle reached into his podium and pulled out his glass of gin and tonic, taking a sip to wet his lips.

The Oracles drink was interrupted by one of the Hounds, Mr. Retiius, an old Praetorian, walking up to him and saying urgently.

"Oracle, we have a broadcast going around Housten asking us to visit a certain skyscraqer. Would you like to attend it?"

Wyatt paused, well that is interesting, he thought. He hesitated, this could easily be a trap. But before long he had made up his mind.

"Yes Rucilius, I will attend it. I will go alone, get my horse ready."

(3 hours later)

Wyatt arrived at the skyscraqer alone and was greeted by two foreign guards. he told them that he was here for the broadcast and the gaurd let him in. Wyatt walked up the stairs and entered the room where the other politicians resided, he nodded his head to them and said.

"I am Grand Oracle Wyatt of the Strov'nah Necron. You don't happen to have anything to drink do you? A gin and tonic maybe?"

"Haven sells commercial goods. What do you need?"

Charlie Johnston-August 1^st-Town-hall

Charlie’s feet pushed him round and round in the swivel chair. It’s what he did when he got bored of dull administrative tasks, when he needed a break. Though he knew he couldn’t just leave his dark and stuffy office. He stopped his spinning and got up:

“Let some light in this place.”

He walked to the window behind his desk, and pulled open the dusty, ripped curtain. The light flooded into the room, blinding him momentarily before his eyes adjusted. He quite enjoyed looking out over the city, seeing the common people moving about down in its street, to him it seemed like freedom, and a luxury he was never able to enjoy.

“Well enough of this,” he turned around and went back to his desk and some more papers that needed to be done. Before he focused his attention on his job there was a knock at the door.

“Yes?”

The door opened, Colonel Santiago strode into the room. She wore her Militia outfit and her long black hair was done up in a ponytail.

“So Corazon, you’ve finally accepted my offer for dinner?”

She laughed and smirked, before finally giving Charlie the evil eye.

“So, just business then? Well what is it?”

“At the Militia Headquarters we picked up a broadcast. I have the transcript here,” she reached into her pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper. Charlie looked up confused, something like this had never happened. He snatched it up unfolding it furiously, ripping the page slightly. He read it out loud:

"Anyone with power should attend a meeting at the JPMorgan Chase Tower, perhaps we can negotiate terms for peace throughout the wasteland, anyone who arrives has free passage for this day only, anything after today will be seen as an act of war and you will be fired upon. I do hope that we can once again become a unified nation."

Corazon looked at him blankly, when he stayed silent for a few more seconds she frowned at him. He looked up at her.

“Whew, I’m incredibly relieved. When you first came in here I thought there was some sort of serious threat on the horizon,” he laughed and leaned back in his seat tossing the paper back on his desk.

“Well, Corazon, gather up 20 of your best, and then you and I will head out. Notify Pravin that I’m going out on official business. Tell him to hold down the fort.”

She smiled, “Yes sir,” turned around and left. He pulled open a desk draw. There was a black leather box, he flicked open the latch. Lying inside was a silver 9mm Handgun. He grabbed it, checked it, before placing it in his jacket.

*2 Hours later*

“Here we are sir! Chase Tower!” shouted Corazon.

The group entered the building, finding themselves in some some sort of meeting. Many a persons were settled around the table. Charlie pulled out a chair, and beckoned for Corazon to sit. She smiled and sat down. Charlie seated himself beside her, the Militiamen stood behind them against the wall, at the ready.

"Haven sells commercial goods. What do you need?"

Ray "the Devil" Hagan, August 1st, JPMorgan Chase Tower

"Let's leave such things until the meeting officially starts..." Ray said in a hushed tone, eager to see what this would lead into.

[Soraya Davy]

Ray "the Devil" Hagan, August 1st, JPMorgan Chase Tower

"Let's leave such things until the meeting officially starts..." Ray said in a hushed tone, eager to see what this would lead into.

J.C Denton - August 1st
"Alright then. So, I wonder who will be the next one arriving" said Denton in a hushed tone.

[Kelly Tomlinson]

Goliath entered a room filled with people, he ordered his 15 shock troopers to cover his flanks and rear. He looked around again looking for a seat, he was 12'5" and weighed more than a ton no chair would support his weight, he already had to bend down to fit inside the room. Several of his troopers stacked a few file cabniets into a makeshift chair, Goliath sat down and got comfortable and then spoke.

"I am Goliath and these are my people" he said motioning to the heavily armed and armored mutants around him

"I come seeking help and alliances, who wishes to join me? I wish to avoid combat if possible" Goliath asked the group of people"My base is the airport, if you wish to speak in private"If you will not aid me then stay out of my way, I wish to avoid senseless fighting and death." Goliaths voice rumbled like thunder, his voice was very very deep and he could feel the room shake a bit.

Wei Chang
Wei paced back and forth in the small room he used as a office. He had to make up his mind with very limited information, something he hated. Wei finally made up his mind and assembled ten of his Dragons. He left the other fifteen in Aldine to, if necessary fire incenedary shells from the mortars at the tower. The eleven proceeded to the tower. Wei and his guards made their way through the muants and followed a guard to a meeting room. Wei took his seat next to the ghoul and lit one of his long, filterless cigarettes.

Salvadore Winn- Jersey Village- August 1st

Salvadore sat in his office when two guards came in holding a man who owed him a debt. Salvadore said, "So I see you tried to run away before you payed off the debt. Tony, let them in." A big man opened a door that had a woman and two children bound and gagged. Tony took them and threw them in front of the man. Salvadore continued, "You see what happens when you try to split. We get the people you love. Anyway I am a business man and I want to give you a chance. Let's go into the Casino."

They walked out into the massive underground casino where there were people playing everywhere except Roulette. Salvadore took the man over to the Roulette Table in the Casino and they both sat down. Salvadore said, "Your choice, Red or White." The man chose red so Salvadore picked white. The ball began spinning and as it slowed down it passed by red and landed in white.

Salvadore said, "Get his family up at the auction post and take him out in the alley. Sir I believe our business is over." The man was taken out back and shot. His family got put up for slave auction and all of them were separated.

Salvadore went back in his office and was laying back in his chair. Tony came rushing in saying, "Sir I was screwing around with the radio when I heard a broadcast calling anyone with power. They said they are in that big building that we saw being built a few months ago."

Salvadore responded, "Well then why haven't we left yet? Come on let's get going." Tony and five other men surrounded Salvadore as they walked to the building. When they arrived Tony spoke into an intercom saying, "Hey we got someone here for this meeting you are holding."

[Alba Casas]

Connor Alaskar, JPMorgan Chase Tower, August 1st
Events had happened so fast, the pvssyr of people began to increase, but a super mutant seemed to be forming alliances already before a transmission came in on Connor's Earpiece
"Connor there seems to be a few more guests than planned originally if you catch my meaning."
Connor walked up a flight of stairs to a balcony out of hearing range of his peers
"Of course, there's a whole bunch of leaders and a few guards... that was the plan."
"Then why is there a strange amount of radioactivity on the floor you're on...?"
Mutants...
Connor stood over the balcony and began speaking down at his peers
"Now, you there, what was it...? Goliath! Can you please explain to me why there is more than 15 of your men in the tower with you...?"

[Kellymarie Heppell]

Goliath rose from his makeshift chair and spoke to a small man

"I had to make sure this want a trap, not many people openly accpet mutants without a plan to kill them. I shall call them off" Goliath spoke into the comms
~all shadow team memebers fallout~
~understood~

"You must understand my percautions sir I do not know any of you and wanted to ensure this was not a trap" Goliath spoke back to the man.

"If this disscusion does not begin soon I will take my leave" Goliaths voice boomed

[QuinDINGDONGcey]

Goliath rose from his makeshift chair and spoke to a small man

Connor Alaskar, August 1st, HQ
"It shall begin soon, you DO comprehend that everyone needs to be here... RIGHT."
Connor received a transmission from his men
~~~More people coming in~~~
---Thank you for the notification---
Connor then walked downstairs, walking near Goliath and whispered
"Try anything like that again and I will end you before you can move a step..."
He then greeted Salvatore at the entrance.

[Lauren Graves]

Goliath rose from his chair bellowed at the man

"I care not for who you are or what you think you are! I am Goliath and my horde shall own this city, whether through diplomacy or steel and fire! And you sir you will treat me with respect or you will be responsible for what happens" with that Goliath sat back down and whispered into the comms

~damned this id Goliath load and be ready to fire at a moments notice~
~understood sir~

Goliath then told his F.I.S.T troopers to ready themselves for combat

[Sun of Sammy]

Salvadore Winn- Skyscraqer- August 1st

Salvadore was let in and greeted by a man named Connor. He said, "Hello good sir my name is Salvadore Winn. I run the exports over in Jersey Village. I also have guards who protect me and my shipments so I would consider myself a leader of Jersey Village."

[Gaelle Courant]

J.C Denton
"Hello Connor. I am CEO of Haven Corporation".

Denton turned to Goliath.

"Hey Goliath, why not treat everyone with respect instead proving your bravado".

"[censored] mutant".

[Laura Shipley]

Grand Oracle Wyatt

Wyatt sighed when he received no response about a drink. He watched the conversation between their host and a mutant and sigh. By Necron that mutant is quite savage isn't he, he thought. At that point the thousand voices of Necron echoed in his head.

"Avoid the mutant Wyatt, he may be dangerous and he's obviously not the sharpest nail in the box. Now inquire about the apple and leave, I sense nothing but trouble here."

Wyatt nodded at the voice of Necron, as always she was right. The blond man walked towards their host and spoke.

"Hello sir, I'm not sure I caught your name, I am Grand Oracle Wyatt of the Stov'nah Necron. Tell me, you haven't perchance heard of a stone apple here in Houston have you?"

[Micah Judaeah]

Goliath leaned in towards Denton and wishpered

"You think I had a choice to be this way? You think I enjoy this? I've been alive like this for around a 100 years. Please treat me with respect I was once like you." Goliath then leaned back in his chair and ordered one of his men forward who was carrying a duffle bag

"Open it when I tell you Rob" Goliath whispered to him

"Yes sir"
