*Smiling at Ambassador Crocker*
Mr. Crocker, My threat was a warning. What NCR THINKS it can and cannot do in OUR land ends in thought. ANYTHING in this land beyond Mojave Outpost, ours. Nipton, Nelson, Quarry Junction, all ours. We arent fearful of The Bear. We did not fight at Hoover Dam, we could have killed Oliver as a sign of our ferocity, but what happened at The Fort and what befell Legatus Lanius speaks for itself. We can be just as if not more deadly than NCR if we so wished. However, nations cannot be true nations if they cannot respect foreign nation's assets. We retain rights over EVERYTHING here, but we let the people live their lives as they wish, Primm, NoVac, Freeside, Westside. All under Mr. House's control, but unlike your nation, we have no need to tax people out of house and home. That said, your people can THINK they own what they like, but as it stands now, Quarry Junction is a rented property, NCR is the rentee, and we your renter. Just be greatful we seek a cordial business deal. That said, Mr. Lobotomite makes a good point, you work with them, they supply muscle to dig. That said, NCR is NOT permitted to have military presense here bar NCR's Presidential visitors. Now, NCR is still permitted to hire caravan guards and armed guards for Quarry Junction. That said, we're even willing to take up the burden of dealing with the Caravan Family politics. However, keep trying to muscle us and all you'll get is NCR kicked out of the Mojave bar civilian and caravan traffic. *shrugs indifferently* As for Nipton, Nipton belongs to Mr. House and will remain so until an established township, at which time, this town will be run by it's new Nipton citizens.
