1. Chapter 1

Hey im hoping to finish this fanfic and to update once a week anyways here goes.

Jonathan whales looked around at the faces arrayed around him. "this is bullshit Crocker and you know it!" John said wincing as he strained the newly formed bone in his right arm. Looking around the room at the new vegas embassy on the strip John looked at each veteran ranger all of them had their rifles raised waiting for him to make a wrong move or refuse to follow the ambassador's orders.

"John I got you the best deal I could you get to keep the lucky 38 as an independent country so long as you deactivate your securitron army and relinquish control of the Mojave back to the NCR we will allow you to keep a few as security in your "country and this way if you ever get drunk or anything and get in some trouble you can claim diplomatic immunity and be fine so just sign the dam contract we have yes man here and we have to see you tell him to deactivate all but 21 securitrons and to have those 21 report to the lucky 38."Crocker said as he leaned over the desk and slid the papers to John as Yes man was wheeled in.

"Hey Boss" Yes man said in his usually upbeat voice

"go fuck yourself" John said as all the rangers in the room bristled and moved their rifles into position as if they would miss if they didn't line up the shot perfectly.

"John I'm trying to help you out here you and all your conspirators get a free pass and ill even let you keep collecting the profits from the casino's on the strip minus taxes so just take the deal. You didn't think that you could just walk in out of the blue and take over Vegas? We've been planning this for years " Crocker said smiling "Can you give us a minute, don't worry I don't think he is going to try anything with 10 veteran Rangers outside waiting to level this compound." Rocker said dismissing the rangers from the room.

"You see John the NCR is heavily invested in Vegas as am I You see we need the electricity from the Dam, Helios one, And the new Vegas wind farm to promote growth in the core regions plus the taxes will go towards making the lives of others in the core regions better, Now for me since I'm the ambassador or was I got promoted to governor of the territory of New Vegas and I get to stay Governor for as long as this place is still a territory." Crocker said smiling as he sat down across the table from John. Taking a small package from his suit pocket He offered John Smoke saying "You smoke?"

Hitting Crockers hand and sending the cigarettes flying John Stood up with hate in his eye's "What about the people, what about Primm, Novac, and Goodsprings huh all you care about is voters in the core regions. You don't give a rat's ass about New Vegas." John said sitting back down.

"Well I have to say that was a riveting speech and you know what your right now please sign the Treaty" Crocker said handing John a pen.

The finality of it all it John like a Mojave dust storm, all his actions all the alliances all his promises were broken and for nothing the people of New Vegas would never know freedom never know safety. As John wrote his signature he felt as though he had signed his soul away and slowly got up gave the orders to yes man and allowed himself to be "escorted" back to the Lucky 38.
