Yen: This shutdown has shocked my colleagues and I just as much as it has you. And as you say, I see no evidence of this Blight in the Mojave. What it does instead is disrupt trade and travel with one of the NCR’s largest trade partners and push the NVD towards the Legion. We have done much here in the last few months and look forward to a long and productive relationship with you. You have my personal promise that I will use every tool at my disposal to get answers and reverse this asinine decision by the President.
She nods at you and sits back down. Words are just words but she seems genuinely upset at the news and you wonder what pressure there is for her to reverse the situation.
Cachino stands up next.
Cachino: Boss, I appreciate you calling us here. I can only speak for the Gomorrah, but business has been good and you’ve left us alone. Business is almost as good as it had been before the NCR left and the deals you’re making have lifted all boats. So uh, yeah, my people are still with you. Just work on getting sinners back into New Vegas, yeah?
Cachino sits down and you shake off the slight surprise by how…modest he seems. Marjorie takes that as her cue.
Marjorie: While the Ultra Luxe and the White Glove Society itself share few similarities with Gomorrah, we agree with The Omerta's assessment. You have done an admirable job keeping business going without meddling in the affairs of the families. You’ve also opened up markets that even House couldn’t obtain, speaking on the Legion of course. While we strongly clamor for a solution to this issue, we still have full faith in you.
Same as before, you hide your growing suspicion well. You absentmindedly touch That Gun, still snug in its holster. If this turns into some sort of fucked-up coup, you’ll go down shooting.
Swank: Seeing as I’m the last to speak, I don’t have much else to say. I want to say how my nomination to lead the New Vegas state is just the cat’s pajamas. While the ladies and germs in the other families were less than thrilled at being passed over, we have all sat down and hammered out an agreement that will not only keep us cool customers in Vegas, but should make more money for everyone here. Now let’s get that jabroni over in Shady Sands to take a step back, yeah?
Huh. Instead of a bomb going off, everyone is lining up to perform fellatio on you. Speaking of…
[Cass, do you have anything else to add on to what has been a pleasantly positive and constructive meeting?]
