He spit on the ground, "So when the Chosen one didn't immediately shoot me in the head I decided that we'd have a little chat. Thought I'd warn him about Horrigan, and just consign myself to dying on the oil rig... but I couldn't, the more he talked the more I realized that it didn't have to be that way. So I talked with my squad and we all agreed, if we were going to die it'd be on our own terms. We hated Horrigan, he was a fucking monster, the greatest embodiment of Enclave Hypocrisy. No love lost we joined the Chosen one to escape certain death, just to face almost certain death fighting him."
He looked away, "It was almost 10 to 1, it still wasn't a fair fight. That monster floored almost all of us, and yet the Chosen One continued fighting on. I don't know what the hell he was made of but he fought that beast 1 on 1 while the rest of us were on the ground nearly dead. It was a spectacle to behold. Hot plasma was flying all over as the clock ticked down announcing our doom, and yet he managed to land a killing blow. Horrigan's body couldn't handle the trauma, He blew up in half, the torso still crawling towards the Chosen One at the end."
He shook his head, "I'll give him this, if there was one thing the Frank Horrigan was, it was Loyal. 'Semper Fi'. was the last thing to come out of that things mouth. Chosen one hit us all with some med-x and dragged a few of us out onto a tanker. We watched in awe as the Oil Rig blew up. You want to know the fuck of it. Enclave was on the verge of deploying Curling-13, it'd passed trials, was successfully vaccinated and everything. If he'd been one day late, the whole wasteland would be nothing but corpses."
he laughed, "Empire of Ashes. I went on to get tried by the NCR as a war criminal, but the Chosen One had me exonerated under the conditions that I'd lend my expertise to the NCR. So I did. Found a Wife beautiful lady, had a kid, I've got Grand kids boy. You know how fucked up this is? How many of those wastelanders I wasted just to end up marrying one and have kids? Too good for me. I might die, but at least my legacy won't be one of death and destruction. I built a family, I saved lives, I fought for something, that's more than I can say anyone here has done. You're a cult not a family, a cult to something that should have stayed dead, but here we are."
You sat there do your best not to punch him in the face for his last comments, and take a deep breath, "Is that all you have to say?"
He laughed, "Yeah kid, that's all I have to say, the cold hard truth, I ain't guilty of Treason because there was no USA government to commit treason against, Enclave ain't legitimate boy."
You punched him that time, and all he did was laugh.
You walked away you feel like if you spent any longer with him you'd lose your temper and something unfortunate might happen.
