[FallOut] Wasteland legends: The Escape
the story of how the powder gangers came to be; hidden explosives, prison break, stolen NCR gear,
and a bloodthirsty attitude.
it was a normal morning in the NCR correctional facility. but what the guards didn't know in this case would
kill them.
"so when we bustin' out?" eddie's cellmate, samuel cook, asked.
"soon as these NCR retards come to get us to work, then we blast out this place."
and come they did. 2 guards came in to retrieve them to begin working on the railways, in which they had
been being forced to repair. but not after today. they had been using explosives to clear out debris off the
rails, and the prisoners inevitably acquired small amounts they hid in their cells. eddie had also stolen
a concealed silenced .22 pistol off some dead sucker which he had on him at the moment.
"alright, time to work, lets move it!" one of the guards ordered.
"sorry not going to happen." eddie then pulled out his pistol and shot both in the head, then stole their
weapons and armor. then they pulled out their dynamite, and blew the cell doors.
"lets kill us some NCR morons!" one of the prisoners shouted.
at this point, another 2 guards came in to try to defuse the situation only to be beaten to death by a
ton of escaping prisioners.
the prisoners ran into the courtyard. there was a full scale riot outside. some of the prisoners weren't
in on the original escape plan, some just got caught up in the moment. afterward, they looted the bodies.
any surviving guards had retreated to god knows where.
"so, i think we need a name, since we just blew out of a prison!" a prisoner said.
"yea, how about the powder gangers? i mean, we just took over the prison by blowing stuff up!" another
replied.
"i like it."eddie responded.
"sweet, so what do we do now?"
"go get more blowie-upey sticks man!" another replied.
an hour later, they were raiding a NCR quarry. sticks of dynamite and small-caliber bullets filled the air.
"i got the dynamite, lets go!" eddie said. with that, they left, leaving behind a mess of the whole NCR
operation.
they were headed back when they ran into a caravan. they quickly killed it off, leaving the leader alive.
"hey caravan boy, you willing to pay for your life?" eddie asked.
"no, you?" the caravanned replied.
"why you little son of a-" eddie's sentence was cut off by the detonation of a stick of dynamite. when the
smoke cleared, the boy was gone. eddie swore.
+ending+
the powder gangers eventually tracked the boy, ringo, to the town of goodsprings, who hid him in a
abandoned gas station. the powder gangers threatened to tear up the town if he was not turned over.
the prisoners who weren't part of the escape plan fled to the town of primm. there they took the town,
killed the sherif, and took the deputy hostage. the townsfolk were forced to take cover in the
vikki and vance casino.
samuel cook and a small detachment of powder gangers fled to vault 19. there, they debated what to do
next, to terrorize the wasteland or to turn themselves in.
eddie and his powder gangers continued to terrorize the wasteland near goodsprings, attacking
caravans, merchants, and even the occasional courier.
the quarry they had invaded, now without dynamite, was soon invaded by a pack of deathclaws. they
blocked access to the long 15, a major route to new vegas.
so ends the story of how the powder gangers came to be. however, the story of humanity is far from
over. because war, war never changes.
