Elder McNamara- Mojave Brotherhood of Steel

*McNamara nods, satisfied."

Very well, we have a deal.

*He shakes DeLonges hand*

"Just so we are clear, I thought I'd present the current borders of Brotherhood of Steel territory and ensure that Mr. House finds them acceptable. We don't want any trouble with border disputes after all. "

*McNamara pulls out a small circular device from his rope and sets it on the table. He presses a button on it and a holographic map appears. With the Brotherhood borders outlined*

"The territory is set up like a triangle, very roughly of course. With Hidden Valley, Helios One, and REPCONN acting as the 'points'. Territory in-between would be nominally controlled by the Brotherhood and under our jurisdiction."


*McNamara ignores the Van Graff ambassador. He has gotten want he wants and sees no need to address Simon further. Although he mentally notes the hatred coming from the man.*

Capo Louie Salvatore- the Salvatore family

Why should we even tolerate the NCR anymore? They're weak now, I say we revolt now, and save the tax money we'd lose while prolonging our servitude to them. But only after we're in control of Reno, we cannot revolt if there's any rivalries ongoing. And why'd we spare any of the Mordinos or the Wrights? To the Golgotha with them I say. The Wright men jump to our side as soon as we kill the Wright kids and grown ups, and the Mordinos... well with them I don't have any quarrel, so if you want to endanger your possible grip on Virgin street, I don't mind.
I'll agree to 25% if you arm the Salvatores now with Glock 86's and Winchester P94's, free of charge. Of course will compensate you after the defeat of the Reno Van Graffs, giving you most of the weaponry they leave behind, along with their factories.

Just wanted to avoid as much bloodshed as possible, bad for business.
The thing is that it'll go into a cycle of us constantly gaining and losing power. I would like to avoid that by making everybody equal. The Bishops were the undisputed rulers of New Reno forty years ago and now we're like any other family.

Cole DeLonge- Mr. House

Consider your request granted. I would be glad to have great companies like yours put faith in House instead of the dying NCR.



I accept your borders, although I would recommend extending them all the way to the highway so that you could protect the area. Gaps in between counties often leave room for wildlife and gangs to gradually move in, and the roads are important to protect, even more-so than the frontier of the Mojave.

Emissary-General Wiliam Vargas

As Vargas is walking in, he looks at the sourroundings of the Ultra Luxe. He remarks as beatiful yet a horror like setting. Along with him is the Keshig, of the Torguud Branch who guard the Khan and the high ranking members of the Khan Empire. There were 4 branches of the Keshig. The Korchin, who are the shock troopers. Khevtull, specialize in psychological warfare, assymetrical warfare, and assasination and lastly the Torguud. As he was nearing the convention door, the Torguuds go in front of him, while another group watches in behind. Torguuds enter in, and disperses to the side with there weapons drawn. There were about Torguuds there, armed to the teeth with a motley of weapons, from AMR, LMG, 14mm, and Marksman Carbinesm wearing Metal Armor MK2 with a menancing and shrouding helmet. Emissary-General Vargas walks in, taking a seat as his black and red cape move. He orders 2 of his other guard to stand with him while the others wait, while cautiously watching the other representatives He was wearing Metal Armor MK2, but a special variant, for Generals, Leaders, and politicians. He takes off his helmet and speaks out to the rest of the canidates.

"It has been certainly a long time I have been into the Mojave. Dont be frightened with the Torguuds. They merely our Imperial Guard, here to protect me, if anything arises. Now, I will be representing the Khan Empire, on behalf of Pap Khan. He is in a meeting with one of our other neighbors.

Vargas scans the room, seeing the Van Graffs, Chairmen, Mojave BOS, and a few other people he did not recognize.

"So tell me, what do you guys have to offer, on behalf of the Empire.

Charles Bailey - Gun Runners

"We won't grantee that we won't trade with the NCR, they are still our number one customer. But now we will leave a small branch in the Boneyard and work out of the Mojave. This will raise rates for the NCR, and when you purchase weaponry you will have access to it almost immediately. This seems very favorable for Mr. House."

"Every empire needs a great army, and every great army needs great weaponry. The gun runners can provide your empire with a multitude of weapons, all in top notch condition. Our company can also provide you with plenty of ammunition. And don't worry about the great distance between us, we will try to satisfy you as best we can."

Elder McNamara- Mojave Brotherhood of Steel

*McNamara raises his eyebrow. Intrigued at this proposition.*

Do you mean to extend the borders to include the area along part of the I-15 and then as well to the highway near Novac?

Simon - Van Graffs

"A 25% discount, Plasma Pistols and Plasma Rifles... free of charge... in return for weaponry and factories... you run a hard bargain, sir. In the short-term you're weakening us, spreading us thin. But in the long-term, the three of us, Van Graffs, Salvatores and Bishops, stand to make a lot of money. So be it. And if I may interject on this 'Council' idea... I think that a Van Graff seat would be most appreciated, and allow for easy accessibility for the three of us to make more deals in the future. And to Hell with the NCR. Our friend House has stirred things up for them, so now's the perfect time for a revolt."

Cole DeLonge

Oh, no... We don't expect that. Mr. House isn't cutting ties with the NCR until they prove to be non-profitable. I'm saying that I'm grateful that you place your faith in Mr. House. He has a better mind for business, greater leadership ability, and more protection than the "wait-and-see" NCR.



Cole DeLonge- Mr. House

The Mormons might be able to trade with your Empire, although you are a great distance from us, so you might have to pay extra because it's a long walk.

*Addresses the entire room*

I want to make it clear that for the time being, we are not going to start another war with the Legion. It would be too costly for the Mojave, not to mention the countless innocents in Arizona and New Mexico that would suffer if the Legion declines. No... We need to leave Lanius to colonize his lands. They aren't a threat as of right now. If anything, the NCR is a more present and insidious threat.

Cole DeLonge- Mr. House

Not quite. Your territory doesn't need to be longer, as a manner of speaking, but a little wider in the northern stretch so that you can protect the roads north of Novac.

Capo Louie Salvatore- the Salvatore family

Are you then suggesting that we stage another Massacre to keep the Wrights and the Mordinos on their toes? And do you propose that we let them keep their territory? I'd prefer if we split New Reno, but with the current Salvatore strenght, we will have to do it your way if you won't jump on board.
I'm glad we could reach an agreement. Mr. Salvatore will remember your generosity.

Taylor Brigham-Mormon Remnants

Yes we would be very willing to trade with the Khan Empire. Assuming the price is right and they promise to never try to offer drugs as payment. Oh and I believe the Gun Runners could profit from a joint operation with The Mormon Gunsmiths, we have a variety of schematics for weapons which have proven there worth in the old and new worlds.

Simon - Van Graffs

"The fact that Lanius is tryin' to settle Legion Lands means he might even be more open to reason than Caesar was. In time, we might be able to get on his good side, maybe deal with him. The Van Graffs have had dealings with them in the past, although they went badly, so they'll obviously be open for weapon trades. Not with us, unfortunately, but certainly with the Gun Runners." Simon threw a quick glance towards the Gun Runner representative, trying to further cement his request for Gun Runner... 'forgiveness' would be the wrong word, but something similar.

Emissary-General Wiliam Vargas

"We can set up a trade outposts near the former borderlines of Utah and Wyoming.

William takes out a map and points it for Cole Delonge.

"Can you travel that distance"?

Taylor Brigham-Mormon Remnants

*quickly adding onto the Van Graffs statement*

And if we were to go to war with the NCR then I believe that the Gun Runners and Mormon Gunsmith's could be the exclusive suppliers of conventional firearms for the cause--well--assuming the Gun Runners agree to our joint effort proposal.

*Taylor shoots a look at the Gun Runner's rep.*

Cole DeLonge- Mr. House

Don't ask me. House doesn't do caravans. It's the Mormons that you need to talk with about that. I'm just trying to get the Khans involved, because an Empire as prosperous as yours needs a good diplomacy with Mr. House.


As for the New Reno families, I'm not opposed to a revolution against the NCR. Reno would be a good business for House to place his stake into, not to mention his leadership would be leaps-and-bounds better than that of NCR. If House provides securitrons for protection and backup, is it possible that you can drive the NCR out of New Reno? Mr. House could have a mainframe delivered to the area so that he can act as a figure-head for the council and blend profits between Vegas and Reno.

It will be beneficial for Vegas and Reno, I assure you.

Charles Bailey - Gun Runners

"Well it is in our comppanies best interest to keep our schematics a secret, but I don't see why we couldn't give you some schematics to some of our lesser weapons, or alternatively we could just pay you for the schematics. It could make things easier for expanding our inventory,"

OOC: Your name is Taylor, mine is Charles

"Good, I'm glad you understand. Expect a few dozen men and women to arrive in the next few months. And our workers are capable of building our own buildings. We just need the supplies, how much would those run for?"

Sander Xenos - Desert Ranger Remnants

*Sander walks into the "members only" room with two other Desert Rangers in toe. He looks around, and, realizing that he's late, quickly takes his seat at the big table. He is wearing jeans, a button down shirt, a black duster, and a cowboy hat. He whispers something to the other two rangers, and they leave the room, presumably waiting outside.*

*Sander waits for the conversations to die down, and then he introduces himself.*

"Hello, I'm Sander, and I represent what's left of the Desert Rangers. We were the group that used to protect this area, but when the Legion and NCR showed up, we had to either become part of the NCR or get wiped out by the Legion. We chose the NCR, obviously, but not everyone was too keen on becoming an NCR Ranger Veteran. Some of us just laid low for a while, and now that the NCR and Legion are both gone, we reckoned that some of us Rangers might be useful again.

So here's my proposition: *Looks at Mr. House's representative* We understand that Mr. House is lookin' to leave a lot of the outlying communities alone, and we also understand that those communities might need some help defending themselves. We'd be honored to patrol and defend the roads and wastes around those communities, and if those communities -- I'm talkin' about Primm, Goodsprings, Nipton, and Novac here -- would want it, we'd also be honored to them enforce their local laws if need be.

*Looks directly at Mr. House's representative* So what do you say Mr. ...? I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name."

Cole DeLonge- Mr. House

We can donate the supplies for a discount in equipping some of the forces of the Desert Rangers.

Elder McNamara- Mojave Brotherhood of Steel

*McNamara redraws the map on the holodisk to reflect the corrections*

Very well, that seems adequate. We will accept these terms.

Taylor Brigham-Mormon Remnants

Indeed it would, and if the Mormon Gunsmiths and Gun Runners worked together we could benefit the Mojave tenfold. Plus we feel that the Gun Runner's are more equipped to produce our larger machine guns without increasing the cost to a ridiculous amount.

OOC: Gah! I made that typo twice >_< let this be a lesson kids, don't type in one forum while chatting in another.

Cole DeLonge- Mr. House

It's DeLonge. If the Desert Rangers are large enough after their recent leave from the NCR to protect the Mojave's communities, then that would be wonderful. The Gun Runners, in return for our building supplies for their new factories, are possibly discounting House in getting some equipment for an army for protecting the Mojave in addition to the securitron army. The counties can send a few of their men and/or women to train to fight for the Mojave when the time comes, so perhaps the Desert Rangers can make a pivotal role in all of that.

Is it possible that your group alone can defend the Mojave? I don't know the number of rangers that are left. If you think that your group alone can protect the Mojave in addition to the securitrons, then all of the Gun Runners' weapons that are being bought by Mr. House will go to you.

Emissary-General Wiliam Vargas

Mr Brigham, your people are the closest to the Empire. Would you be willing to trade with us. It would be good to have another trading source. We can set up a trade outposts near the former borderlines of Utah and Wyoming.

William takes out a map and points it for Cole Delonge.

"Can you travel that distance"?

Emissary-General Wiliam Vargas

"Now Mr Delonge, how will you deal with NCR. They are desperate and are falling. Even if they are failing, they can still assault Vegas. Your securitrons may be strong but what about the numbers of NCR. Dont you think you need a army with humans because you cant always rely on your robots. Simply put it this way, we want good realtionships with you guys as our empire grows.

Lobotomite - Ambassador of Black Mountain

*The doors to the Members-Only section of the Ultra Luxe casino open to reveal a massive grey chest. Lobo ducks down so he can walk through them, 'all human doors are too short', he thought to himself. He scans the various ambassadors already sitting at the table and notices one who represented a faction that he has had...dealings with in the past.

He walks to the large table and sits down on the couch opposite the Brotherhood Elder and begins to watch the proceedings.*

Cole DeLonge- Mr. House

We don't need the NCR to die. Yet. But driving them out of New Reno would blossom into a great and widespread economy for House and Reno.

When the time is right to finish off the failing NCR, and they will fail due to recent events, will the Empire of the Great Khan come to Mr. House's aid?
