Ambassador Turner - The Kings

"Why? Because those "low ranking thugs" don't have any pull with the King. Because those "low ranking thugs" haven't "paid their dues". I've seen people who've been members for days get executed, while people like Pacer go free because of "personal bonds with the King". Half of these people don't even listen to the King anymore, they just use their colors as a threat to Freesiders to muscle caps out of them. I've taken steps myself to fix this, Pace isn't the only one in the King's favour, but I'm afraid it'll only get worse from here."

* Turner pinched the bridge of his nose, and let out a bitter chuckle.

"My God we've become the NCR."

Kevin Harty- Mayor of Novac

If Novac can get one of those flags we will fly it in our town.


Perhaps there is some way we can get the King to step down.

Ambassador Turner - The King

"The King is the only semblance of good in the Kings right now. Its Pacer I'm worried about, he's the one with the power, he's the one throwing around Freesiders, which makes other Kings think that it's fine to do so. He's also a childhood friend of the King, so any criticisms against him fall on deaf ears. Something must be done about him. Once we take care of him, the others will have no base to stand on, which will help us make progress in the trials, and will also help ensure that the punishment doesn't fall on the innocent."

Kevin Harty- Mayor of Novac

Well any bending of the laws for certain people for any reason is corruption, which should be uprooted whenever possible.

Not telling you, or the Kings, how to do their job but we are your allies who want the best for all of the Mojave.

Ambassador Turner - The Kings

* Turner leaned back in his seat, studying his jacket. A Securitron rolled over and handed him a bottle of whiskey, which he then took a gulp of, before setting it down on its corner and spinning it as he reflected on his decision. Finally, he held the bottle stable and looked back up at the congress.

"The King stays in power. He's the only person in Freeside capable of fixing it, no matter how long it takes, no matter how many sacrifices must be made. However, Pacer needs to be taken care of. Its the only way."

Colonel Mason Black - Enclave Remnants

Colonel Black scoffs at the remark. "I'm sure only House and the Enclave even understand what that symbol of America even stands for. Though I suppose the more places to display Old Glory the better."

Kevin Harty- Mayor of Novac

*Orders gecko meat, cooked medium rare, and a Nuka Cola. The doctor the Follower's trained told him he had to work on his drinking. He then turns to Turner.*

Ok. Would you like to hire somebody to take care of him? I could have it done for a fee of 200 caps, or we could work out some sort of deal.


I am not ignorant of what came before me. I know that this land once was America, one of the greatest nations in history. If that is to be our symbol I would like to take pride in it. I also know that before America there were tribals even less advanced than Caesar's Legion, who we seem to have forgotten in our discussion.

ooc- one second.

Ok so the damn picture won't get larger but I think you can see the outlines and make out what I was trying to get at...

Ambassador Smith, House's Ambassador

"Smith's hand reached into himself as he pulled out a map of the Mojave. This is a proper map of the Mojave. The NCR is the southern portion. House, Jacobstown, Westside, Freeside, Novac, Hidden Valley, Nellis and The State of Tibutha get their own independent and sovereign states that can't be entered by the forces of others without permission, all under the flag of the Mojave Confederation. The flag of the Mojave Confederation is the flag of the United States with one star to represent the Mojave..no civilizations unity behind progress. These meetings are now Mojave Congresses and you all are representatives. For places and institutions like the NCR, Gun Runners, The Chairmen, FoTA which don't have states of their own in the Confederation you will still be addressed as ambassadors or spokesperson or what have you.

This confederate system will ensure continued peace among our groups in the Mojave. All of your factions can leave the Confederation of course, but why would you want to?

Representative Turner I will not tell you how to handle this, but if Pacer "came up missing." in Freeside the Legion is always a wonderful group to blame for disappearances. And Colonel I know your thoughts on the humans of the Mojave now, but we need all of the support we can get from places like Novac. Flying the flag of America, the flag of the Mojave. That's a most noble thought indeed. Also Colonel your right we must focus on some of the larger issues in the Mojave. One of my robots was almost destroyed in the Southern Mojave by the Powder Gangers. If they aren't stopped soon caravans won't make it to Vegas alive. The Enclave must take care of these criminals at once before their violence spreads."

Ranger Matthew-NCR

With all due respect, there is no one with as much charisma and leadership ability as the king.

Andrew Matthews: Tops and Gomorrah Casino Owner

*walks in flanked by two Chairmen with .22 SMGs and once again in a jet-black suit with 10mm at his side*

*snaps his fingers and dismisses the two bodyguards out the door*

*sits down*

Hello boys. *smirks* Good to see you all again.

Well I can see you've all gotten down to business already, so I'll go ahead and give a you a little-rundown of my thoughts.

*flicks his lighter out and lights up a cigarette*

So here's the deal, although I'm probably addressing Smithy over there more than anybody else perhaps someone else can offer ideas, the strip hasn't been seeing the amount of people coming in that it used to, and we need to change that. We can take some solace in the fact that at least the power is back up to some degree, although I doubt Helios One is going to be that reliable in the long run compared to the awesome power-output that was Hoover Dam.

Anyway, I'm wondering what exactly can be done to get more individuals from the NCR *points at Ranger Matthew* to here *points down at the table*. Drawing in more individuals to the Strip of course, would also help to foster the economies of Freeside as well, assuming the conditions are improving enough to where people might actually want to spend some time there. Smaller towns like Novac, Primm, and Goodsprings would benefit as well from both added population numbers and an increase in caravan activity.

That's my ideas on that matter anyway.

And lasty my second train of thought is more of a report...

*takes a long contemplative draw on his cigarette and then exhales*

I've heard some increasingly distrubing rumours concerning the White Glove Society. Who, if some of you aren't aware, are the owners of the Ultra Luxe Casino. It's a little gossip here and there, mixed in with a healthy degree of information from some well placed sources, but the just of it is two fold.

One, there has always been a rumour going around that the White Gloves used to well....eat people. And even moreso now that they continue to do it. Up until now they've just been something of "boogeymen" stories on the Strip, however I've now come to the conclusion that the rumours may be truer than we had once thought. In any case, the Kings or the Followers probably haven't noticed it amongst the various other crimes that go on daily in Freeside, but I have it on good authority that the White Gloves have possibly been conducting abductions from that area. I'll leave it to your own imaginations to decided what exactly the purpose behind the abductions are, but I think you can guess.

As disturbing as Cannibalism is, the next rumour may be even more alarming.

*takes another draw*

The White Gloves, or certain members of them, may be working with the Legion. I'm not sure how, and I'm not sure if, but I have a good guess why they might, and it has to do with the first rumour. If you get my drift.

In any case, I'm not sure if either of these little bits of information are true, but I think its worth checking into. At the very least, we can't afford to have a group feeding information to the Legion who is snuggled right in our cozy little Strip. Then of course, assuming these things are true, we'd have to proceed fairly carefully in regards to removing this threat. We don't need even less people coming to the Strip because they fear they might get eaten. Ain't good for business.

Any ideas Smithy?

Ranger Matthew-New California Republic

Rangers and troopers aren't what cause you to gain money. It's our citizens. And until the war is over, I can hardly see any citizens in Vegas. Even a city as grand as Vegas won't trick an NCR citizen to walk into a Legion ambush and become a slave or be killed.

Ambassador Turner - The Kings

* Upon hearing of the White Gloves' supposed diet, Turner stops in the middle of a gulp of whiskey and forces it down with disgust.

"If its people they're taking, especially from Freeside, then they need to be dealt with, though this'd be a helluva lot easier if they had a representative here. Nevertheless, if the rumours are true, if they are working with the Legion, then having them anywhere near Vegas, let alone the Strip, especially when there are Centurions so close by, is just a mess waiting to happen. We need to get rid of them before they check us all into the Heartbreak Hotel."

Ambassador Smith, House's Ambassador

"Welcome Mr. Matthews. As relating to your first thought the Helios One power output is simple, with different levels of priorities

First is the Strip which is the primary economic driver of the region
Secondly the water systems of Freeside and Westside without which they would go into anarchy
Third the power goes to electrifying critical industries in Vegas but we have none of those as of now.
Fourth the power goes to electrifying Freeside and Westside
Fifth the power is sent to Novac, and Goodsprings
Lastly the left over output is sent to the NCR towns of Primm, Nipton and Cottonwood in exchange for them continuing to allow NCR citizens to travel to Vegas and helping defeat the Legion

When it comes to tourist, according to House's calculations it will take a major victory against the Legion to convince NCR citizens to return, but Ranger Matthews I assure you if your citizens traveled to Vegas 7 months ago with Deathclaws and Fiends roaming around, they will return again. After the Powder Gangers are destroyed the length of the I-15 will be safe and a new South Gate will be created so that foreigners and tourist will not have to enter Freeside to enter the Strip. With the Fiends gone and the Powder Gangers soon gone the southern strip is a perfect entry point.

To your second question, let me ask you, why should I believe rumors about the White Gloves?

ooc-Someone should double rp as the White Gloves

Representative Lobotomite - The State of Utobitha

The large Nightkin walks towards the huge doors of the Lucky 38 casino again, but with a slightly different escort. Moe is still present, but his last bodyguard was chosen to represent the State of Utobitha at Helios One. He had proven himself to be stable around humans and Lobo preferred to get the more stable Nightkin slowly acclimatized towards humans...especially with that recent incident with the Ranger.

He motions for his new bodyguard to stay outside with Moe and he walks through the doors of the Lucky 38. He looks up at the flag that triggers a distant memory and finds his seat. Just before he reaches it he takes off his Bumper Sword, sits down, takes out a rag and proceeds to clean blood off of the blade.

*Looks at Representative Turner*
"It seems that you have a serious problem."

Colonel Mason Black - Enclave Remnants

We don't like being used for such menial tasks Smith. Johnson, Kreger, and Moreno might have trouble seeing reason to deal with a few mutant degenerates with dynamite. We dealt with the Fiends only to build a foundation of trust between our two groups.


"Savage mutant cannibals that are conspiring with the enemy, now that has peaked my interest. We could deal with them rather easily. Though if you require proof I could kidnap one of their members and 'extract' information on exactly what their up to." Colonel Black then begins to laugh devilishly as a wry smile crosses his face.

Andrew Matthews: Head of the Chairmen

A few reasons, for one I've had a few guys monitoring them for awhile. Just a normal part of inter-family intrigue, so naturally we heard all the stories. The big tip-off however, was a double-agent within the White Gloves own ranks, a man named Chauncey. He's been feeding me information about what he believes is going on for quite some time. Specifically that one of the leaders of the White Gloves, Mortimer, is behind the abductions. He didn't know how many others were involved though. Then of course his information concerning a deal with the Legion he got from doing a bit of poking around himself. Combined with the information about Mortimer's actions, he put two and two together.

Still though, he wasn't able to prove it all 100%. And he never got the chance. Suffice to say, he stopped talking about a week ago. And by that, I mean I never heard from him or saw him again. None of my guys have been able to figure out what happened to him either.

*flicks some of the ashes of his cigarette into an ashtray*

My guess? The White Gloves, or more specifically Mortimer, finally got to him and it was curtains for ol' Chauncey.


*raises eyebrow*

'ppreciate the offer Colonel, but we shouldn't make a move until we are sure that the information is true, and if it is, we need to be very careful about what we do. We still need the White Gloves, or at least the members of the White Gloves who haven't reverted to being no-good tribals again.

Besides, this is Strip Family business. We Chairmen can sort it out.

Ambassador Turner - The Kings

* Turner looked at the Nightkin while slowly leaning back in his seat, his hands subtly sliding down his side towards his waist, where a switchblade and .44 magnum were holstered.

"Well if it's gotten your attention, then I'm sure it is serious Mr. uhh.."

OOC: I take over the White Gloves if need be.

Dr. Sanders, Followers Lead Doctor

Nick walked through the doors that closed the Lucky 38 and sighed. He was back in the place that had saved Freeside. He walked in and sat down.

"Nice to see you all again, I've heard that Ranger Blaine has been shot in the head. Terrible news. Also, Robot could I have two bottles of scotch and a shot glass please. I have a feeling this is going to be a long conference."

Ambassador Smith, House's Ambassador

"Alright then Colonel, you want a battle? Then it's quite simple what must be done. The Legion has set up a major encampment at Camp Golf that currently threatens Vegas itself. The Legion's top members are posted their waiting to attack our city. If you truly want a challenge, then Camp Golf is your answer.

Mr. Matthews, I'll take your word on this. Colonel? Get this Mortimer and extract the truth from him. But two things; don't draw attention to yourself when you take him, and if he has been working with the Legion bring him to the Lucky 38, examples must be made. Find the names of all who worked with him in the White Glove Society, and this situation will be put to an end."

Colonel Mason Black - Enclave Remnants

"That's why I plan to torture one of them for information of their activities. And 'IF' they are conspiring with the Legion then that endangers everyone at this meeting."

Kevin Harty- Mayor of Novac

Hello Doctor, I would like to thank you again for sending that mentor to Novac. Our newly trained doctor has made a very good difference.


If the Enclave does not see them as much of a threat we could take on the Powder Gangers.

I would be greatful of the State of Utobitha or the Brotherhood if they helped me on this, we could work out a trading deal afterwards if that were the case.

Representative Lobotomite - The State of Utobitha

*Notes Turner's subtle actions*
"Relax Ambassador, I wish for no violence to occur during these meetings"
*He directed this statement as much towards the Colonel as to Turner*

"The serious problem I speak of is the unrest in Freeside. We were attacked on our way here by five locals, none of them were Kings or at least they didn't wear leather jackets and jeans. Two are dead, one of which was half eaten by Moe. The other three we let go, but I doubt that our intervention is enough to put any serious dent into stopping these attacks."

Dr. Sanders, Followers Lead Doctor

No problem, Kevin. I'm glad the doctor has helped. I trained him myself.

Colonel Mason Black - Enlave Remnants

Colonel Black steeples his fingers. "Excellent. Excellent. It has been years since I've been able to interrogate a mainlander. Don't worry Smith I'll be discrete but I'll need several days to preform surveillance on the target. With this current assignment it will take us some time to get around to Camp Golf but rest assured those skirt wearing cavemutants won't know what hit them."

*Colonel Black's coffee and steak finally arrive*

He takes a sip of the hot beverage before using his utensils to cut a small piece of steak which he plops in his mouth.

"Exquiste."

Ambassador Turner - The Kings

* Turner sighed at the Nightkin's story as his hand relaxed. To be sure, he placed his switchblade on the table in front of him before taking another swig from his bottle.

"Now there are two reasons for that friendo, one, it was the result of the natural human reaction upon seeing a hulking super mutant and whatever that... thing is outside saunter down towards the Strip, and two, garden variety Freeside thugs, whom we've had to deal with since the beginning. In the latter's case, we've been working on getting rid of the thugs and deserters, and in the case of the former, well.. The Great War was a [censored], wasn't it."

* He smirks playfully, before turning to the representative of Novac.

"On your offer of taking out Pacer, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very wise. If the act can in any way be traced back to Novac, there's no doubt in my mind that the King will want to seek revenge. It must be done in a way that makes it seem as though it was merely a run of bad luck, an untraceable assassin, an "unfortunate accident". If you can find a way around those obstacles, then I would be willing to see to it that a squad of Kings is sent to Novac to help you deal with the Powder Gangers in exchange."
