1. Chapter 1

Hoover Dam Command Center, Interrogation Room A1.

"Look Jason, this is for the best, you keep your life the people of the Republic get resources to develop and grow this land into something more. Hell I'll even let you keep the Lucky 38 and you'll still receive your due's from the casino's, with a modest tax for the republic." Said a man who looked more like a politician then a general.

"Fuck, You" Jason also know as the courier said. He immediately felt the steel of a ranger sequoia prod him in the back from one of the 3 veteran rangers currently surrounding his end of the table. To make matters worse th steel of the cuffs on his wrist were chaffing so bad it felt like someone was pouring hot lead ont his wrists. "You promised that we would remain a free country in alliance with the republic if we helped you. Everything I've done will seem like a lie to these people."

"Well to be honest you don't really have a choice now either take the deal or we'll sign your name for you. Ahh here we go." The Man across from Jason Was grinning as two NCR heavy troopers wheeled in what looked like a mobile T.V. with arms.

Now Jason we know you have a love interest in the area, someone by the name of Cass? Well Here's a look at her through one of your own machines." He said as the screen buzzed to like to reveal a blindfolded woman standing against a wall.

"Whats-" Jason was cut short by loud report of .50 cal rifle round exiting the chamber and burrowing a crater into the back of what had once been his Love.

"Now we can do this to the rest of your friends or we can be civilized. If you want some company you can even keep 20 securitrons online at the lucky 38. Now sign the deal and shutdown the rest." The Man said sliding a pen towards Jason of the cold dull metal surface.

"Shut them down Yes Man, do it now." Jason ordered as he shakily took the pen and signed away the independence of New Vegas.

Outside a !st Recon Sniper in the NCR Let loose a single tear for his friend as he grabbed his gear and trudged down the metal corridor ashamed of the bear on his beret.
