Though more dangerous I take us off road and use a direct route to Novac. I rather deal with the giant bugs in the dust cloud then risk getting my head shot off in that canyon. In the dust you can hardly make out a pre war race track and a truck that some how got really far off the road. When we got closer to Novac we get back onto the road. A Legion raiding party attacks a caravan but I pay no mind to it. As long as they leave us alone I could care less about their war. Both the NCR and Legion seem to be unstable. It's just the NCR looks to be the better option for when it comes crashing down. Though a third party that's, not Enclave, but desires to awaken America from its slumber would be nice.
Once in Novac I head to the office. "I would like to rent a room and maybe do some work." "I have one room available, ten caps a night and I have no work but I think Manny Vargas the sniper currently on duty might have something for you." "Thanks and here's the caps."
I head to see Manny in the T-rex. "You're Manny right?" "Yeah man what can I do ya for?" "I was told you might have some work for me." "That's right, there's this Repcon facility that's been taken over by Ghouls and they need to go." "No problem also I am looking for a guy with a platinum chip do you know him?" "Yeah I know him. How about when you come back I'll tell you as part of your payment." "Sure."
So we head there and on the way I loot the corpses of the dead Ghouls. Energy cells are valuable and any caps I find help. Some people might wonder why I don't just use a plasma rifle and there are two reasons, one unlike in DC they shoot like shit and two I like Marcie just fine. But the vermin rifle is still good when I need to snipe. Because I rather not used any stimpacks if I don't have to.
When in the building I am yelled at over the intercom. "Hey you go to the stairs on the far side of the building and hurry." I roll my eyes and head that way after I loot the feral and a safe and a few other things of value. I even find some Nuka Cola and Sasparila. Once I am done looting I head to the upstairs door and hit the intercom. "Hey I'm here open up." I say. The door unlocks and I go in.
"Boy are you ugly. Jason is upstairs go and talk to him." This scientist looking dude says to me. Yeah you too baldy." I respond before heading up stairs. I go straight to the Ghoul who is glowing and is in a suit instead of the sun bleached Brotherhood robes. "You have a problem that's keeping you here, I solve problems, so tell me what's your problem?" I say to him just wanting to get this over with. "We have some demons in the basement. Could you please get rid of them." "Sure."
They think supper Mutants are demons for some ungodly reason. So I get ready to clear them out. While doing so I find a Ghoul that's hiding out in this room. "Hey pal I just killed the uglies." I say to him and as he runs past me he says. "Thanks."
After telling Jason that it's cleaned out we head to the room outside of the launch pad. "What else do you need Jason?" I ask. "I need you to help Chris with the finishing touches." He tells me. "Sure." When I see Chris I go and talk to him. "So you do realize that your not a Ghoul right?" "Stop making fun of me." "Dude even Charon can tell you that you're not." "If that's true explain why my hair started to fall out when I worked with my vaults reactor." "You thought you were turning into a Ghoul just because you were going bald from radiation poisoning. Do you know how dumb that sounds?" After some wining I manage to convince him that he's human and after talking him out of sabotaging the rockets we finish them.
