"Jason the 'demons' are gone." James said as he and Rufus walked up to Jason.

"This is wonderful news!" Jason exclaimed "I would like for you to talk to Chris about what you can do to assist us further."

"We are going through the basement too the launch pad you can find Chris in the observation room very soon." Jason added.

Jason and the rest of the ghouls began to walk to the basement, James followed the group. After a couple of minutes James and Rufus had walked through a hidden set of tunnels to the rocket observation room where Chris was waiting for them.

"Jason has told me your still going to help us, we need and igniting agent and thrust control modules." Chris said

"Igniting agent?" James said "That's gotta be hard to find."

"Actually its rather simple really, the rocket souvenirs have the agent inside them I'll need about five for the launch." Chris said "As for the thrust control modules I'd check any salvage areas nearby for a set."

"Okay we're on it." said James and he knelt to pet Rufus.

James stood up and walked back into the tunnels he had just entered the room from and walked to the ladder leading to what he assumed would be the surface. He climbed the ladder the after a few tries was able to catch Rufus during his jump and pull him out. With the path to Novac cleared the first time through James and Rufus where able to stroll back to Novac. The first place James planned to visit was Cliff's shop to buy a couple of the rocket souvenirs then head to Gibson Scrap Yard and check about the thrust control modules.

"Cliff I need some of those souvenirs rockets." James said to the man.

"Oh James long time no see, and how many do you want?" Cliff said as he looked up from the object he was inspecting.

"Five, how much do I owe you?" James said as he pulled out a handful of caps.

"Ten caps." Cliff said with a smile happy he was getting rid of some more rocket souvenirs.

James handed the man the caps he owed and put the remaining ones back into the pouch on his waist. After a quick farewell the duo departed from Cliff's store. James looked at the sun; it was just past 11 o'clock by his estimates. He and Rufus walked the road to the north towards Gibson Scrap Yard, which they reached in mere minutes. Old Lady Gibson was sitting outside of her garage and home as The Ranger and his companion arrived.

"Hey there what can I do for you?" Gibson asked.

"Do you happen to have some thrust control modules for the rockets at REPCONN?" James asked while he mentally crossing his fingers.

"Why yes I actually have a set, its 500 caps." She said.

"Five hundred? You're joking?" James asked in disbelief.

"No I'm not; its 500 take it or leave it." Gibson said.

"Maybe I could trade you something for it instead?" asked James.

"That recharger pistol you've got there would be enough forme." Gibson stated.

James reluctantly handed her the pistol. Old Lady Gibson walked into the garage and came out with a panel. He thanked the woman and set off for REPCONN once again. James reached REPCONN clutching the panel and had the rocket souvenirs weaved in between his bandoleer and armor. The duo walked to the hatch that hid the ladder and Rufus jumped down and James soon followed.

"Chris I've got the things you asked for." James said.

"Good hand them over the rockets should be ready to launch in and hour." Chris said.

James walked over to a table in the room and found a hot plate, with this he pulled out food from his larges pouch around his waist for him and Rufus. It took minutes for the food to heat up and the duo hungrily ate it and drank some water. It was an hour of relaxation until Chris announced over the intercom to Jason that the preparation was completed.

Jason said a long speech and revealed to Chris that as James had stated that he was human. Chris was angry though he now was to be revered as a saint.

"Chris, don't dwell on the fact they lied to you just think about the difference you made." James said putting his hand on the man's shoulder.

"I can't believe they did this to me….but you do have a point." Chris said still saddened by the whole situation.

"I'll go to the launch center and fire the rockets." Chris said "You can go now."

James nodded and left to head back to Novac.

Ashlyn fired at the man down the hall as he lifted his gun. He was hit in the torso by the 9mm pistol The Courier fired at him. The convict soon collapsed to the floor from the bullets now stuck in his chest.

"Please tell me that's the last one up here." Ashlyn quietly said to herself.

The Courier was surrounded by the bodies of seven now dead convicts. Ashlyn went to searching the bodies. She was racking up a ridiculous amount of 9mm pistols and ammunition for them. She knew if she was lucky she could get about 20 caps for each of the extras she didn't plan to use for parts. She also found some extra varmint rifles which she quickly took the clips and all other useful parts from. Ashlyn had cleared the top floors of theBisonSteveHotel; she still had the first floor to clear out.

"I hate having to kill so much in one day, but it's to help people so I've gotta do it." Ashlyn said to herself still searching the bodies of the convicts; pulling out a dynamite stick from the current body.

Ashlyn walked to the door that seemed to lead to a stairwell. Next to it was a Nuka-Cola machine. The Courier shot the locking mechanism with her pistol and raided the four colas contained within.

"Mom would kill me if she saw me with one of these when I was a kid." Ashlyn said smiling at the memories of her past.

The Courier went down the stairs and stopped as she reached the door at the bottom. Crouching down with her pistol drawn she opened the door. Ashlyn heard a man yell something just before she was a flash and felt the agonizing pain brought upon by the bullet digging into her left shoulder. She yelped in pain and held her pistol towards where the shot came from and fired until she heard the body hit the ground. She went back through the door and began checking her wound. The bullet when just into her shoulder thanks to the extra armor there. She dug in her pack and pulled out a pair of tweezers and pulled the bullet out all the while gritting her teeth.

Ashlyn injected a stimpack into her shoulder near the wound and wrapped it up in a bit of cloth she had taken from a dead convict. The courier once again opened the door and looked for more convicts. She looked to the area where the last convict was and saw something move so she fired and the thing fell to the floor with one shot. Ashlyn walked through the first floor and found two doorways with light coming from them. She quietly holstered her pistol and shouldered her varmint rifle.

As Ashlyn rounded the corner she saw a convict with a flamethrower; naturally she fired at him first. The bullet hit the man in the heart but he still managed to pull the trigger on the flamethrower and burn the two men in his company. Soon all of the men where dead. Ashlyn looked to her left and saw a kitchen that another convict had just walked out of. She fired and the man fell with a skillful headshot. His head hit the floor with a sickening wet crunching sound where the bullet had blown out the back of his skull.

As Ashlyn walked into the kitchen she notice a man tied up near an overturned refrigerator. He has blonde hair and was clean shaven wearing leather armor just like Ashlyn was.

"Who are you?" Ashlyn asked the man.

"Names Deputy Beagle and I'd appreciate it if you'd untie me so I can get out of here." Beagle said.

"The deputy huh? Have you seen a group of suspicious men come through here?" The Courier asked.

"Yes and I can tell you all I know if you untieme." He said.

"Deal." Ashlyn said as she untied the man.

After the duo exited the Bison Steve the deputy told her about the men, saying the one wearing a checkered suit was heading with a group of Great Khans through Nipton to Novac.

"Is there any more I can do to help before I go?" Ashlyn asked.

"Yes my brother-in-law, the sheriff, was killed and the town needs a new one." Beagle said.

"I'll see what I can do; do you know where the rest of the town is?" The Courier asked.

"I'd check the Vicky andVanceCasinoacross the street." The deputy said.

Ashlyn nodded and walked towards the casino. She reached to doors and opened them walking inside. The first person she saw was an old African man holding a revolver.

"Hello." Ashlyn said to the man.

"Hello Missy, Johnson Nash at your service." Johnson said.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Ashlyn." The Courier said "What do you do here in Primm?"

"I run the Mojave Express office here." He said.

"I'm a courier for the Mojave Express. Can you tell me about this delivery I was supposed to make?" The Courier asked.

Johnson told Ashlyn about the order saying that the original courier didn't take the job after seeing her name and said even with the pay he wanted her to take the job. The order said to bring a poker chip to New Vegas.

"That's all I need to know, thank you." Ashlyn said.

"No problem Miss." Johnson said.

"Nice robot over there." said Ashlyn pointing towards the Protectron model robot standing towards the center of the casino.

"That's Primm Slim." Johnson said.

"Beagle wants me to find a new sheriff; do you think Primm Slim could be programmed to do so?" The Courier asked.

"I'm sure it's possible." Johnson said.

Ashlyn walked over to the robot and attempted saying commands to initiate law enforcement protocols. After a couple of tries she was successful and the robot announced the protocol was activated. Ashlyn smiled knowing she had just done something that would benefit an entire town. The Courier walked out of the casino and checked her pip-boy for a map to Nipton. It was mid-day so she should be able to make it to Nipton by nightfall.

Ashlyn walked into the Mojave Express office to see if she could find further information that Johnson hadn't told her. Inside she found a spherical robot lying deactivated on the counter. She immediately began to fiddle with the robot. She opened a panel to revel wires and she began to reconnect them to the spaces she believed to be where they needed to go and she heard some beeping noises. The robot rose of the counter and made some beeping sounds towards Ashlyn.

"Umm, begin companion protocol?" Ashlyn said questioningly.

The robot beeped again and as Ashlyn walked away it followed her. She put her hands on the robot and slowly turned it and read a miniature license plate that read "ED-E".

"So you're ED-E huh? My names Ashlyn little guy." She said in a childish voice.
