"We shall see how brave you are when nailed to the walls of Hoover Dam, your body facing west so you may watch your world die." - Legate Lanius boasts at the Courier before having all of his limbs, including his head ripped off and chest eviscerated by a grenade.
Ch. 1
[Location Goodsprings home, New Vegas]
'Never thought it'd end like this...' I silently wondered as the darkness completely took away my vision, robbing me of my senses, my breaths becoming slower and shallow, my heart going at a pace of a race between a turtle, a snail and a dead sloth.
I used to think that my death would be one of old age, if my delivery at New Vegas went right and I continued my job as a simple, lowly Courier of the Mojave Express that kept his head down.
But now, that fate was almost inconceivable...
Surviving from a botched job where my compensation was getting buried alive and having two pieces of 9mm rounds lodged up my head was a miracle enough, I never thought I would have such an impact to New Vegas once I made my first step out of the good old Doc Mitchell.
From a simple survivor earning a decent amount of caps delivering packages to becoming one of the few legends to ever conquer the wasteland earning my place beside told legends like the Vault Dweller, the Chosen One and the Lone Wanderer. And being the key factor that would decide the fate of New Vegas.
Thanks to significant past experiences from fighting beside Joshua Graham at the Zion Canyon, surviving the ghost remnants of Sierra Madre to fighting a great man who also shared the title "Courier Six" at the edge of the world have made me the heroic figure and the defacto leader of the New Vegas wastes that I was today.
Pushing towards a truly independent and powerful sovereign state, once I knew death had finally catched up to me I left the Mojave in the care of the Kings and the Followers of the Apocalypse, giving them the best chance of truly helping the people of the wastes.
'Now I understand what Randall felt when he had taught the Sorrows to live.' I mirthfully though, pushing my thoughts away from my imminent death.
And with his last breath, the legendary Courier Six passed away into his home in Goodsprings, long ago he decided to aid the town as best as he could once he knew his age started to catch up to him and decided to make his own faction inspired from the Vegas Rangers before they were absorbed into the New California armed forces, making the small town the groups base of operations, some NCR rangers even returned to Vegas once the army of the Legion was pushed out of their land, and with Doc Mitchell passing away from old age long before, his will had stated that his home was to be given to the heroic survivor.
Goodsprings had become a hub for traveling merchants, mercenaries, hunters, traders and soon people decided to stay.
And with that the small town grew to a fairly large settlement, with proper walls and security, a proper law enforcement, fair rules, new businesses even casinos open and a strong leadership, the rising settlement growing to rival bigger cities, possibly even the Strip.
And it was nurtured and cared for by the retired Courier and his ever growing group of rangers to continue his legacy of watching over the New Vegas wastes and at some point to marshal the wastelands of the old world and find the remnants of civilization.
News of him passing away spread like wildfire almost throughout the wasteland, every civilian, gang member, follower, still sane mutant, even the King and the tribes from Zion came to his funeral. Statues of memorials were built on Goodsprings, New Vegas and every other major city of the man responsible for the independence of New Vegas.
Soon enough this hero's name will fade away from history and become legends for wanderers to spread awe to its listeners, some facts about him would either be exaggerated or forgotten, but none will forget the great love he held for his companions and the care he had for the surviving people of the wastes.
Cults over the time have grown to worship great heroes that have survived the wastes or made sacrifices to ensure the survival who or what was left still trying to hold on in this apocalyptic world, these people adamant in their refusal that death was simply the end for these legends.
But it does raise a question in most people, for these heros and for The Courier named "Jago", a legendary warrior in his own right, among other legends or great warriors.
Are they truly dead, or are they selected for another purpose?
