I started walking to Primm right after I said my goodbyes to the folks of Goodsprings.

2 Minutes Later

Oh! A pre-war sign, this can help me.

"Well… my journey to Primm starts now." "Hey… don't you think the boss and the others are taking too long" "Yeah do you think we need to check if they succeeded?" "I don't think we should since I don't hear anymore gunshots in the past 15 minutes so let's just stay here for like let's say 5 minutes and if they're not back then we go in and inspect." Gibberish… Gibberish… Right behind the small shack were Powder Gangers at least 3 of 'em. I readied my varmint rifle and shot. With my increased skills in marksmanship after the fight with Joe Cobb the remaining Powder Gangers were a breeze. I looted their bodies and saw that one of the guys had NCR dollars? Don't know what I'll use that for in the future but who knows, I got $200 NCR dollars, 2 9mm pistols, 79 9mm rounds, 27 9mm cases, 9 dynamite and 5 stimpaks 'Why were these guys carrying so much loot… I guess they were backup men if Joe Cobb and his goons couldn't handle us but survived and just use the ammo and stimpaks to replenish their strength well that's my hypothesis.' As I turned my back, right in front of me was a random fighter plane… I was surprised it even survived these 200 or so years.

Jean Sky Diving

I walked inside the shack and I found out that it was called "Jean Sky Diving" there were multiple lockers all but one was empty and that single locker was locked and I couldn't pick the lock but after putting some time on reading the magazine Sunny gave me I could easily pick the lock. Inside were another 9mm, 13 9mm rounds, 40 caps, 3 9mm cases, 7 5.56mm cases and a Brahmin-skin outfit, I took everything except the Brahmin skin outfit. In the middle of the room was a table and on it was radio equipment, a sunset sarsaparilla star cap? Don't know what that is for and a key for… the locker, I just wasted my time reading that magazine and picking the lock, why couldn't I just have seen that earlier! Out of frustration I broke the table and the radio equipment by accident and ran out.

Mojave 3 Minutes

I heard talking and hid myself… it was more powder gangers. I took them out and looted anything of value such as guns, caps, NCR dollars and dynamite. After looting threw the Powder Ganger camp I could see Primm and on the way I looked through the Pipboy the Doc gave me and first discovered VATS [Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System/VATS] and first used it on a roaming Gecko Hunter and overlaying the Gecko's body parts were numbers ranging from 1-100 next to it was a percentage symbol and after thinking about it these were accuracy checks to see if my skills were good enough to assist VATS in shooting the target. I aimed for the gecko's head and saw that I had a 59% chance of hitting it, I shot it 3 times and 1 out of the 3 missed but thankfully both shots was enough to kill it. Right after using VATS for the first time I saw another road sign showing the roads to other places in the Mojave.

Alright Primm is just over there! | It took William at least 20-30 minutes to get to Primm and on the way he encountered Powder Gangers, Geckos, Bloatflies, Mantises, Radroaches and much more. | Outside Primm "Hey, where the hell do you think you're going? Primm is officially off limits to civilians." A soldier in uniform told me "Why?" "Convicts from the prison up the road have taken over a city. Everyone's either dead or in hiding. What's more it that there are two groups of raiders are causing problems in these areas as well. It's safer for a civilian like you to stay in Goodsprings." "Shouldn't you guys be protecting the town or something?" "We'd love to but they're not under NCR jurisdiction and even if they were we don't have the manpower to supply them with an ample enough of soldiers to keep them safe." "Can I help?" "You must be a merc, well if you're looking for a job, talk to Lieutenant Hayes. He's in a tent down the road. Just stay on the left of the overpass or else you'll get shot." "Thanks for the heads up." "Bye." After walking to Lieutenant Hayes tent I walked inside and met him.

Lieutenant Hayes' Tent

"I'm Lieutenant Hayes of the New California Republic Army, 5th Battalion, and 1st Company. What's your business in Primm?" "What're you doing here?" "We were sent out here to stop the tidal wave of convicts coming out of the correctional facility. As you can see we're undermanned and underequipped for a mission like this." "What's the problem with the mission?" "The mission ain't the problem, the problem is we don't have enough weapons and don't have enough men to stop those convicts from going through our defenses. From field and recon reports we have seen the convicts coming at us with larger forces, better weaponry and an organized fighting force than our info initially suggested from the start. I've been giving reports and notices to HQ that we need reinforcements and shipments of guns with more firepower but… shit… things aren't going through. This place is almost as a shithole as Forlorn Hope..." "Well you're in luck, I'm here to help so got some info to tell me about the convicts." "Not much other than what they're calling themselves. Powder Gangers the name, mostly because they've taken a liking to using explosives to clear out boulders as weapons. They got organized into a group too fast than what I initially expected. Thankfully the ones found here in Primm and near Goodsprings is a detachment from the main fighting force. With their numbers and weaponry they aren't getting anything in the way of support." "Care to tell me what the correctional facility is about?" "Most people just call it NCRCF. That's an acronym for NCR Correctional Facility. A little bit while ago they staged a coup and the guards and other staff that couldn't escape were murdered. Now the place has been ransacked of its technology and valuables with it becoming the Powder Gangers main headquarters." "Well lieutenant, I hope that we will be able to solve this problem." "I hope so too."

Primm

I went out of Hayes' tent and from there I went to do the hard work for the NCR. Over by the bridge that separated the NCR side of Primm and the Powder Ganger side of Primm, a single bridge that divided a once golden city of pre-war America… what has happened over the 200 years is sad. The bridge had frag mines; thankfully I had a keen eye and disarmed the mines before they could explode from that I gained 3 frag mines to use. Once I crossed the bridge I was extra careful and keen of my surroundings since this was Powder Ganger Territory where convicts 5 times more dangerous than me could be found. After walking for a few seconds I heard two men talk I hid behind a wall of the Vikky&Vance Casino and with the use of surprise I killed both of 'em with 1 shot each going through their necks. As is their loot were just some guns, ammo, NCR dollars and sometimes stimpaks. I went inside the Vikky&Vance Casino.

Vikky&Vance Casino

"I don't know what made you go over here in Primm but, youngster. If I were you I would run tail to another place because this town is just a hellhole." "Well, I'm kinda working for the NCR and I'm here to help you guys in your situation and I also had some questions." "Well *Sigh* I'll answer what I can. What do you want to know?" "Do you know where I can find the courier office?" 'I was still curious about that note, YES that note' "Sure do. I run the office from my shop. Leastways I did before things went to shit around here." "I'm a courier… well was." "Well I don't have any work on me as of right now, sorry to say." "NO! It's not that, I lost a package I was supposed to deliver." "I'll tell you whatever I can. Do you have the package order you were given of the job if you do show it to me." "What can you tell me about this " "Oh! You were one of the couriers of that package. That job was stinking of suspicion and had danger wrote on it. But we couldn't say no with all the caps that were given to us for the order." "What was strange about it?" "That cowboy robot had us hire six couriers." 'It could've been Victor?' "- Each was carrying something a little different from the rest. A pair of dice, a chess piece, that kind of stuff. Last word I had with the office, it looked like payment was given to the other five jobs. Guess it was just your chip that didn't make it. First deadbeat we hired to do the job goddamn cancelled. I hope a storm from the Divide skins him alive *Sigh*. Well that's where you came in." "Wait! HE CANCELLED?!" "Yeah he had this look when he saw you next on the courier list. His expression turned right around, asked me if your name was for real. I said, sure as lack of rain, you were still kicking. Then he turned down the job, just like that. I asked if he was sure, but he still turned down the money. He even said this 'NO, let Courier Six carry the chip', like the Mojave'd sort you out or somethin. Then he just up and walked out." "Do you know who he was? Or where he went?" "Not a damn clue. Seems like you two have a history for him to act like that. And even turn the money down, too. Hope he didn't see any trouble with that package of yours. Maybe he saw some bad luck sprinkled on your name. Not for me to say though." "Some men took the package, a guy in a checkered suit and some thugs. Did they happen to pass here?" "Well, now that you do mention it. A few night back one of the townies was out scavengin' for supplies. He said he saw a guy with a daisy suit and some of those Great Khans misfits; they were talking about a chip of some sort." "One of those men shot me. Know any way so that I could find them?" "Well your best bet would be asking Deputy Beagle. Since they came to town he was keeping a good bit of notes on them, and he was slinking around Bison Steve when your pretty boy passed through. He may have heard where they are going," "Is there anything I can do for Primm?" "Right now Beagle is the closest thing of authority and law in Primm but he's still stuck up in Bison Steve. First thing I'd recommend you do is get Beagle's sorry ass out of the Bison."
