Chapter 10
B) Going back to New Vegas
Epilogue
The Wanderer decided it was no use and hoped her mental state would not deteriorate further. Going back to New Vegas with Katherine the two decided they would help the NCR to stabilize the city. It was there that the two gathered their companions once more and celebrated Katherine's healing process, blissfully unaware of the condition of the Lone Wanderer.
After months had passed the state of the Wanderers mind got worse and she found herself losing her identity. She found it hard to remember names and people, even forgetting who she was. With the loss of her personality came the birth of a new one. The Lone Wanderer would walk around asking people she knew about the events of the Battle of Hoover Dam, even going so far as to ask questions about herself.
Katherine who rose fast and far through the ranks of the NCR made it explicitly clear that she didn't want anyone to tell her that she was the Lone Wanderer and treat as the reporter she identified herself with. They owed their hero that much. It was strange for the other companions at first, but soon they accepted the fact that she probably would never be herself again and tried to make it as easy for her as possible. Some days she seemed to have regained her own personality only to lose herself in her detective role once again, seemingly unable to find the answers she has been looking for.
Contact was established with the other Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, but they didn't want to travel the distance to get one demented woman out of the desert, much to the Lyon Pride's disapproval.
As the year passed the Wanderer became a widely known reporter, taking on the personality of it wholly and forgetting her old Wanderer persona. She would die a peaceful old woman who was finally set free from the curse of life.
The End
AN:
One possible ending to this story. I know I pretty much summarized a bunch of story from the game, but I'm really too lazy and unmotivated to write lengthy plots. Small stories like this fit my writing style better, I think. Also, the reason why I don't give the Lone Wanderer a name or closer description of her appearance is because I'd like to leave it to the reader's imagination. Her gender is the only fixed trait in the story. Hope you enjoyed it.
