Quoted By:
It is nearing a year since you, The Courier, fought and secured independence of the Mojave from domestic and foreign powers. Mr. House was put on ice, the NCR got sent packing and even the mighty Legion tucked tail and fled back East. Now, the New Vegas Directorate, your new government, faces as many challenges as it does opportunities. Industry is rapidly expanding and agriculture is now firmly established while migrants from around the wasteland flood in looking to change their fortunes. But the Boomer Blight, an engineered plague from parts unknown, is spreading throughout the Wasteland and little looks uncontainable. You continue to walk the line in courting both the NCR and the Legion, seeking to be a stable power between the two warring giants. A new player comes into the picture and he brings with him hundreds of Enclave descendants eager to start again. You have agreed to welcome them into the NVD but time will tell if you can hide their influence from the NCR while keeping other factions happy. With the looming NCR election, the hostile President Kimball seems poised to lose to the unknown Allgood Murphy while Caesar continues to see you as his Augustus, urging greater cooperation between both nations. The one-year anniversary is rapidly approaching and while a grand celebration is planned, existential threats lurk everywhere and with Mr. House on the loose, you can be sure you’ll see him one last time.

TheSurvivalist !!uuJbd4m8dPS ID:zNR6CY3I Mon 15 Dec 2025 22:28:54 No. 6347387 Report The other task you had Secretaries Garret, Cass and Lewis attend to was finding available sources of what material you need for the Securitrons. While you have a report on the material needed and where you can access it domestically (and in some cases, beyond your borders), you decide to give the free market a shot. It’s met with mixed results. Copper is obtainable from both the NCR and Legion, though the NCR will not export in any reasonable amounts due to the ongoing war. The Legion has quality copper available, but in lower amounts. As they also use it for industrial and military applications, there may be a bottleneck for the amount imported. The suggestions from all three Secretaries is to just focus on domestic production. The glass and lead is relatively easy to get on the market, with both the Legion and NCR manufacturing it. Though NCR glass is seen as more desirable due to the quality. While lead is harder to get due to greater needs of the exporting powers, Yes Man predicts a cost of 1,110 caps per Securitron for lead needs. The focusing crystals for the laser weaponry isn’t something you can import from the NCR (and definitely not from the Legion) but the Shi, Brotherhood and Van Graffs all produce them on a small scale. The Shi would be your best bet, but the NCR closely monitors their exports for any military equipment or sensitive material sent abroad. The Brotherhood is under no such restrictions, but jealously guard this technology. Potassium Nitrate can be manufactured domestically if the sulfur caves below the old vault are still somewhat intact. Otherwise, this is produced by the NCR and Legion in large amounts. There should be little issue importing, but of course the NCR has much greater quantities and of higher quality. Only the NCR produces steel and it’s not allowed for export, mostly due to the lack of buyers. Allegedly the Shi imports an agreed-upon amount each year but Cass is unsure you’ll be able to get much from the current Administration. When Allgood is sworn in, perhaps a new trade deal can be negotiated but the price is expected to be high. Pure uranium can potentially be sourced in the Mojave. The NCR does not mine any to our knowledge, but we are aware of nuclear power plants within their territory. Aluminum can be recycled, but the process needs to be exact. The NCR does produce aluminum but in small amounts and mostly for small-scale industrial use. Finally, gold and silver are in relative abundance and the amount needed is small, so you will have no issues especially if domestic supply is tapped into. But that’s all the information available for what’s available on the market. Titanium, synthetic rubber, lithium and zinc are the materials no one in the wasteland seems to be making on any meaningful level.

>>6347387 >but the Shi, Brotherhood and Van Graffs all produce them on a small scale Do the Van Graffs hate us? I don't remember if we did anything to piss them off or not. We presumably resolved Cass's companion quest by sending the evidence to the NCR since McLafferty is still alive (though we don't know what's happened to her since we told her to get lost), though I don't remember if that's something the Van Graffs would take personally or not.
Presumably we didn't interfere with their scheme to double-cross the Legion though.

>>6347387 Hmm. What do we even need lithium for in the Securitrons anyway? If they're running on consistent power from their fission cores, they shouldn't need large batteries. We could seek to substitute Li-based battery technology for less efficient but much cheaper and easier alternatives like Na or Ni-based energy storage.
I'm very surprised nobody is manufacturing zinc metal, it's an important metallurgical ingredient, quite simple to refine and found all over the place.

>>6347387 >Titanium, synthetic rubber, lithium and zinc are the materials no one in the wasteland seems to be making on any meaningful level. I wonder what Houses plan was for those. He obviously wouldn't make a securitron factory if he couldn't get the resources nearby, and given how he is I would imagine he'd avoid reliance on trade as much as possible. Are we sure there isn't a warehouse full of stuff lying around somewhere?

>>6347413 Both Zn and Ti have regionally close sources (e.g. Pioche and Bagdad) and House was presumably eyeing up the titanium refinery in Henderson for reuse, so he could have obtained those. The raw inputs for synthetic rubber (assuming he meant styrene-butadiene) can be cracked out of coal tar from the coal mine across the river. Lithium is a mystery though, unless House really was prepared to go to the other side of the state for it.

>>6347411 You know, I think I had it for either the laser weaponry or the inner electronics but the fission battery should be able to power both, so let’s just say Lithium isn’t needed assuming the intended power source can be sourced. As for Zinc, it may be manufactured in either nation but as far as the report goes, you’re not aware.

You know, the Van Graffs are in an awkward position where the Legion considers them an enemy and the NCR only tolerates them for their flagging money and influence, which was probably further damaged with the (likely suppressed) reveal that they were destroying opposition with the help of the Crimson Caravan. We might be in a good position to cut a deal with them to supply us with focusing lenses for the Securitrons.

You finally sit down to begin final preparations for the anniversary and - damn it, you forgot about the salient green research. You jog outside and pull out the Transportalponder. Instantly you’re back on The Sink Balcony. You enter The Sink and immediately tell something is wrong. SCIU: Ah, hello sir. It’s great to see you again, though I wish I had time to tidy up. There’s wreckage strewn everywhere, as well as a green paste smeared all over the walls and floor. [What the hell happened here?] Jefferson: Doctor Klein came up here raising all sorts of hell. He was ranting about wanting to feed the wasteland his nutritious green goo. Doc: He was suffering from an overdose of mentats, of the lime variety I suspect. Book Chute: And then he did something incredibly un-American to the Biological Research Station. As perverted as he was, nothing deserves that… You look over to the side room where the “eccentric” metal cube is housed. You visibly recoil at the mess. The BRS’ screen is pulled out and hanging by just a few wires. Its housing is cracked in multiple places with sparks flying out. The casing on the left side is completely off, having been pounded flat and left on the floor. A quick peek inside reveals mangled circuitry, damaged modules and salient green goo sprayed all throughout. BRS: I don’t FEEL too goOD…should have USEd protection…. Gross…but you should still try to help. You immediately power him down and begin to collect the pieces strewn about. You’ve never seen a machine like BRS and even your unmatched science and repair skill has trouble figuring out how it works. You clean out the interior, carefully unplugging each connector before clearing and reconnecting. With the inside and out cleaned up from the goop, you begin the arduous process of trying to learn what makes the Biological Research Station tick. But damn if you just can’t seem to make it to the finish line. No matter how many times you try to put the BGS back together again, he’s obviously defunct and unable to even answer questions about the salient green. You choose to keep him powered down to avoid any future mishaps and return to The Sink main room. Book Chute: It’s clean in her now, too clean. Cleanliness is next to commieness! Doc: Quiet, you overexcited garbage chute. Thanks for cleaning up around here, Courier. And don’t worry about Doctor Klein, that young man came by and told us he confiscated the drugs and alcohol from the Think Tank. I imagine they’ll be settling down from now on.

Johnson: And if they come up here acting a fool, I got just the thing to settle them. [Too late for the Biological Research Station. Say, who built that thing originally?] SCIU: Pardon me for interrupting, sir, but Doctor Movius was the original designer of everything here. But it was some time ago… You doubt his current mental faculties and you don’t have time to search Big Mountain for him. Perhaps he can assist in repairing BRS down the line. Thankfully, the food situation is not as severe as it could be. You almost consider heading over to the Forbidden Zone and see if you can get some suggestions, but you just don’t have the time. Instead, you gather up the remaining jars of salient green scattered around the room and stuff them in your pack. If nothing else, they’ll make good samples to study whenever you finally get some eggheads together. You internally sigh and make your way back outside. There’s still so much to do for the anniversary

TheSurvivalist !!uuJbd4m8dPS ID:vQIe7TZb Fri 19 Dec 2025 00:09:13 No. 6348705 Report Before you begin the final preparations for the anniversary celebration, you realize that there’s still an active outbreak of Cholera in Freeside and Novac and while they’re both contained, the former is threatening to break its delicate containment. For Novac, you work with Julie to send down some laborers to dig new latrines at the mine work camp and send a few nurses down to assist the sick. The Securitrons deployed to Novac have been authorized to use their stun batons on anyone dumping human waste outside of authorized locations. The total death toll is 35 but the remainder are expected to recover. For Freeside, the situation is much more complex. The outbreak is centralized in the Southeast, seen as the poorer section of Freeside - which is saying something. It consists of around 20 city blocks with a handful of water sources providing clean-ish water for thousands of people. When the first few cases were reported, the exact source of the sickness couldn’t be discerned so every well and sprinkler in the area was shut down. As Julie’s doctors (who have experience with Cholera from other places) set about tracking the origins down, the area was cut off from outside contact. Fresh water was brought in from mobile water tanks while NVPD and Securitrons monitored all traffic in and out of the quarantine zone. It was actually an impressive display of administrative skill and reflects greatly on the Followers and your Securitrons. The Follower’s Doctors and your increased funding, the population was kept alive if barely while the infected water source was found and purged. As was the case with most outbreaks of a disease like cholera, a water pump connected to an underground cistern was the cause. After testing the surrounding water systems, the original source of Freeside’s epidemic was halted. But there was still much work to do. At least 300 had passed away and if something wasn’t done soon, that number could easily push 1,000. Once again, luck and the skill of Farkas’ Followers saved the day. In the pre-war world (or if you were currently very rich), medicine would be available to quickly bring you back to health. In a place like Freeside, the most that could be done is to segregate the sickest from the healthiest and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. IVs were given to those who couldn’t drink, and water with salt was given to those who could. By time the celebrations begin, the death toll is projected to be just around 500, vastly lower than predictions and a pretty good outcome considering.

You reached out to every Casino on the strip and explained the plight of those currently bedridden and quarantined. While there’s no great affection between those on The Strip and in Freeside, maybe it was the celebratory mood or the askings of The Courier because booze, soda, food and all sorts of games began pouring in. Those who had been resigned to a floor mat or stuck in their homes for weeks now could host a celebration of their own. As one final flourish, you made sure that every Freesiders to get an aid package knew it came from you. With the last, pressing issue finally out to bed, you fully turn to the independence celebration.

TheSurvivalist !!uuJbd4m8dPS ID:CV5rOMso Sat 20 Dec 2025 20:31:18 No. 6349389 Report Once again, you’re stopped from throwing yourself into final preparations. This time it’s just a report, but one you’re really interested in examining. The intelligence apparatus of the NVD is not anywhere you’d like it to be, but it is pretty low on the list of immediate priorities. Yes Man is capable of monitoring anywhere the Securitrons go (but not nearly as efficient as if someone were hooked into House’s systems) and the radio waves are constantly monitored. But that really can only go so far and the value of information from both superpowers can’t be understated. All that said, your intelligence agency consists of three Frumentarii who don’t know they were supposed to be liquidated, a gossiping ghoul and Ulysses when he has the time. The saving grace is that Ulysses was perhaps the greatest of Caesar’s Frumentarii, sans Vulpes. And since the wolf has been skinned, Ulysses is a great teacher. You made the decision months ago to build the intelligence apparatus from scratch, training homegrown agents that will eventually spread around the wastes. This is how the original Frumentarii came to be, but eventually grew into the very efficient tool at the helm of Vulpes. Ulysses’ first goal is to turn the legionary spies to your side fully, as they still believe their allegiance is to the Legion. As the report says, Ulysses was incredibly successful in planting the seed of doubt. These three already knew they fell out of favor due to their close relationship with Vulpes, and after they heard the news of his passing, the writing was on the wall. They’re not ready to go out and assassinate Caesar and still hold strong love for their Legion, but they’ve begun to accept that the NVD is their new home. Having Ulysses work them over also helps, as he was an infamous agent who disappeared without a trace some years ago. Your Deputy’s final remarks on this is that it will take a while for them to fully integrate, but the hard part is done. The rest of his month was spent sitting down and discussing the logistics of what’s needed to begin actual operations. These plans were heavily based on the Frumentarii’s modus operandi, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Ulysses plans on checking in once a month, but he’s given the task of finding hardy, trustworthy men in the NVAF who can be flipped into agents. These men will undergo advanced training with the spies until they’re assigned missions. The first few classes will be focused on becoming “traders”, “travelers”, and ranch hands along popular routes in the NCR and Legion. As the Agency expands, counter-intelligence in the NVD will be expanded, especially among the large foreign-born population and the many NCR businesses throughout the region. This will take months at least and at the bottom of the report, the other shoe drops.

The budget for the NVAF in general is 8,000 a month, but Kreiger is being stingy and refuses to hand over the required budget. Ulysses is very insistent that a minimum of 2,000 caps a month to just begin the training of a handful of agents. He derails the costs down to the cap/chip but the gist is that the facilities and necessary secrecy costs money. And once these agents are deployed, they will have access to a healthy stipend to grease the necessary palms. You have a little time to think on the exact funds channeled, but the sooner you fully commit to this the quicker these men will be sent on missions. You idly wonder if the Enclave immigrants have any spymasters with them and save that thought for later. It’s NOW finally time to begin the celebrations.

>>6349389 >we somehow turned the frumentarii Didn't expect this outcome, but I'll trust Ulysses if he says that's what happened. Besides, the Legion's steady descent into madness is probably easier to stomach if you have the option to sit out the impending storm.
The funny part is that I was totally going to vote for Ulysses to go on a 5 minute sightseeing trip with them next turn, to wrap up their loose ends.

TheSurvivalist !!uuJbd4m8dPS ID:fvTTpf6N Sun 21 Dec 2025 19:29:21 No. 6349953 Report You’re not exactly sure when you decided to go “wild card” with the delicate balance of power in New Vegas. Perhaps it came from seeing how poorly the NCR actually governs, or the limits of the cult of personality that infests The Legion. Perhaps it happened when you realized that for all the genius of House, he lost his way (and Humanity) somewhere along the way. Or maybe it’s always been there, that desire to actually do something that would start the test of them, and it was only the bullet hope that woke you up. Whatever the genesis, you sit here now at the anniversary of the Mojave's independence from Gods and Masters alike. For reasons out of your control, this is not the spectacle you originally planned. But as you walk down The Strip, the nicer neighborhoods of Freeside and even during your visit to Goodsprings, everyone is doing what they can to celebrate a moment that obviously matters to everyone. You still decide to dedicate a majority of the NVD’s energy to this celebration, even after dropping 75,000 caps for loans and assistance in the celebrations. The full might of your military will also be deployed, with the Securitrons assisting in their normal duties but the actual soldiers themselves being deployed along the roads and important stops throughout the Region. While you’ve cut down the dedicated raider groups to almost nothing, there’s still the highwaymen and enterprising thieves who find gaps through the Securitron patrol. These companies will either escort large caravans throughout the Mojave, or station themselves along the many roads to guide and assist if necessary. You trust Yes Man and Kreiger to oversee this aspect, as you throw yourself into final preparations. Since the Vertibird is currently inoperable, you have the great idea to use a few of the off-road vehicles you “liberated” from the 80’s to get around the region quickly. You originally were going to stay in New Vegas and help there, but that’s where most of the focus is and keeping in the spirit of unity, you want to visit every settlement during the week of independence. Here, you may pitch in to raise a tent or help harvest a field of yucca banana fruit. It’s far too late to do anything of substance but every leadership book you’ve read says showing up and talking is the most important thing to do. To go one step further, you have Yes Man “tell” Mr. New Vegas to announce your tour over the radio waves, to ensure every settlement will be ready to receive you. On Friday night, your first stop is Jacobstown.

You load up your motorcycle, the nicest and most customized of the bunch. It’s larger than the dirt bikes that came with the rest of the motorized equipment, and it has an expanded gasoline tank that should get you mostly through the region. If you have to stash the bike and have it picked up later, so be it. The road up to Jacobstown is much worse than you remember, probably one of the roughest stretches in the entire region. You’re far from an expert, but you know that the dry arid air does help preserve things and the closer you get to Charleston, the colder it gets. The roads get so bad that you have to eventually just stash the bike and walk the rest of the way, but you get there by the late morning. It’s been a very long time since you’ve been up here, but not by any choice of yours. The mutants and ghouls are nice enough people, but they keep to themselves. There’s still severe xenophobia against these kinds, especially the super mutants. What hits you immediately is how much larger Jacobstown is since you’ve last been. The old ski lodge consists of a huge, beautiful wooden lodge surrounded by numerous smaller bungalows and occasional ground keeping shacks. When you were here last, maybe only a quarter of these smaller homes were in use. Now, nearly every building has occupants and in some, a gaggle of ghouls or mutants are living together. You’ll have to update that population estimation from Yes Man. But it’s not just the population that’s changed, but the area itself. Much of the gnarled woodland that inhabits the slopes have been cut down and their stumps removed. You suspect this has been turned into fuel for Jacobstown and North Vegas. There are also floating farms on the large pond in front of the lodge, with fresh water seemingly having been transported in. While ghouls and super mutants are notorious for their small diets, they still need to eat. That’s also why you see some bighorners set out to graze on empty land with a new ramshackle fence set up. You take this all in as you walk up to the gates. A scout must have spotted you because Marcus and a few other mutants and a ghoul are waiting for you. The grizzled super mutant raises his massive paw in greeting. Marcus: Courier! It’s been too long, friend. I’m glad you could make time for us! He pulls you into a hug as you get closer. You’re a robust man but you’ve never gotten used to the insane strength these mutants have.

Marcus: I wouldn’t insult you like that. You’re almost as strong as me! Anyway, I’m sure you remember Neil. Neil, whom you first met back at Black Mountain, gives you a curt nod. Marcus: That good-looking fellow to the right of me is Steve Walton. The ghoul looks to have been an older man once, but now wears the clothing of an old socialite. Steve: It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I’ve heard much about you. Neil: Mr. Walton here was once a very rich and powerful man. He used to stay at this very lodge every year. Steve: Ancient history, my dear sport. While I once rubbed shoulders with Robert House and Vera Keyes, now I spend my time with these lunks. Before Marcus can speak again, the last super mutant steps forward. Bink: ME BINK. ME GLAD TO SEE YOU. He throws his hand out but Marcus quickly and gently pushes it down. Marcus: Maybe some other time, Bink. We have a lot to show our guest. Marcus quickly hurries the group into the gates and to Jacobstown at large. The citizens here all crowd around as you walk past, eager to get a glimpse. You’re shocked by the quasi-worship, but Marcus explains that you’re perhaps the first overseer they’ve had that has not tried to exploit or exterminate them. Jacobstown is quickly becoming a hub for those afflicted, looking for a home and you’ve provided the best place for that. Because of the low maintenance, the residents here are able to trade freely with the rest of the Mojave and even a bigot wouldn’t turn down fuel for their fires. Marcus also mentioned that they’re beginning to get one of the nearby mines working. You’re unsure if this is necessarily what you want, but Jacobstown is technically a government so it’s not breaking any laws. The celebration planned is not so much centered around the NVD at large but of Jacobstown and the people in it. There will be plenty of food, drink, and an actual band made up of ghouls who were musicians in their past life. Their interesting spin is going to come on the final night, the actual one year anniversary of the Mojave’s independence. That night, many of the mutants and ghouls plan on getting together and sharing stories of their past and how they found Jacobstown. Some of them are even going to get as to claim new names for themselves, a sort of rebirth. It’s a little strange but you understand the appeal, and anything to build up tradition. You caught them early in their celebration and much of it is still in preparation so while you won’t see the grand finale here, there’s an interesting little game some of the less verbose mutants are playing. In short, it’s a game of strength. After much cajoling and a few rounds of rotgut from the ghouls, you begrudgingly agree to participate. >1d100, BO3. Higher the better

There are a series of “competitions” set up with help from some of the more intelligent super mutants. The first is simple, who can throw a rock the furthest. Late that evening, most of the Jacobstown residents gather on a clearing behind the lodge as drinks and food are shared. Even a few nightkin come out to join, but hang around the edge of the parry. The chosen rock is closer to a boulder, weighing nearly 100 pounds by your estimation. You choose to not go first as you’d like to see what competition you have. Neil and a handful of other super mutants you don’t know go first, and their performance is impressive to say the least. A mutant named “Grugle” is in the lead, having thrown his boulder an impressive 33 yards. As he goes to retrieve the stone and bring it back to your starting spot, you limber up. Blink comes up behind you, preparing to throw right after. You didn’t tell anyone, but you popped a bottle of buffout right before stepping up to the plate. Nothing like a little performance enhancing drug right before you show off. As the boulder is dropped off in front of you, the gathered crowd falls silent. Bets are exchanged between ghouls as you step forward and hoist the stone up onto your chest. The weight itself isn’t anything you’re not used to, but the size is awkward as hell. For a super mutant, it’s maybe the size of an old kickball but for you, it’s almost the size of your entire upper chest. Time to nut up or shut up, Six. You take a step forward and push the boulder off of your chest and up into the air. Every muscle in your body strains as you use your legs to push, your core to keep the form and your upper body to throw it….21 yards!!! The crowd erupts in cheers and moans, as caps and other good are traded as wager winnings. The mutants look impressed, even if you only beat one other super mutant in distance. Still, it’s more than any other human in the Mojave could do. You’d bet anything on that. You keep your head held high as you jog out to the field and begin removing the stone from the indented dirt. Bink: ME TURN You don’t take much notice of this, as you’re sure he’s excited to show off his strength to his friends. You do perk up as the crowd gasps. You look around to see what the commotion is, but don’t spot anything to cause concern. Marcus: COURIER, LOOK OUT! You spot the rapidly-approaching shadow a split second before you see the cause of the concern. An old golf cart is less than a second from landing right on top of you. Time slows down as you leap off to the side, but you’re just not quick enough. Your left leg is caught under the falling wreckage and blinding pain shoots up through your body. Your vision quickly fades as bystanders rush to you.

Meanwhile in Jacobstown Civ Quest...>the courier's not going to take this personally, right? >Jesus christ I will never roll again >FUCK FUCK FUCK we JUST stabilized relations after Heck and Keene had their dickwaving contest, then we crush the Courier with a fucking golf cart >Heck and Bonnie Springs can eat a dick >The golf cart succeeded where the rest of the world failed >Is this going to be a diplomatic incident? We can't afford a diplomatic incident on top of everything else. >We can offer our services as infantry as reparations. They need troops, we have super troops, it's perfect. >We just proved we can't be trusted with golf carts, why the fuck would they trust us with guns? >We have no choice, we have to dip him >I guess telling him about the FEV containers we found is getting postponed? >We must find and eliminate Mr. New Vegas before he spreads the news. No one can know. >Guys, don't forget about the deathclaw army rumors >Dude, we only heard that from a nightkin who even Keene thinks is crazy. >Dammit Bink, I trusted you.
