Mister manager hovered above the makeshift bed that max shred with the scribe awaiting her master to awake. The sun poured into the room as the infernal oven known as the Mojave reheated itself for another day. The light that flooded the room quickly woke max who was used to the darkness and artificial light of vault 25.
"Mistress Star some people have made camp at the north end of the town. As per your instruction all security forces have remained within the perimeter of the facility. What would you like me to do?" explained the robot in a cheerful voice awaiting a response from it's master.
With a groan max still half asleep replied "Get some of the security robots who aren't doin anything and station them at the front desk". After half an hour the curiosity of who had entered her town overcame the comfort of her bed and she finally got up. It didn't take her long to suit up and arise the scribe. From their they made their way to the facilities cafeteria and assembled a meal using the contents of the various vending machines and what food remained edible in the cafeterias store room. Max and the scribe, accompanied by the few others who had risen early made their way to the front desk. As per max's instruction the others had put on their respective power armor and the band of seven, accompanied by four mister gutsy robots made their way to the north side of the town.
This journey only took ten minuets do to the relatively small size of the town. Once they arrived they were met by a man wearing a bear head on his head. Along with that he sported a silver and red helmet under it along with some scrappy armor that looked like it belonged to a roman soldier. The man announced himself saying
"who the hell are you and what business do you have with the legion remnants?"
"Names Maxis Star. And the 'business' I have is knowledge of what you might be doing at this little town?" max replied with a stare so cold even a death claw would have second thoughts about.
"We are the legion remnants and we come to claim this land for the glory of the empire so we may crush the courier and his 'independent new Vegas'" the legionary remnant continued arrogantly.
Their it is again. The courier. Who is this mysterious courier I keep hearing abut?
After that brief thought max replied
"I'm not really fussed what you do. So long as you abide by my rules while in Indian springs" max explained attempting to projecting her presence onto the man.
"A legionary follow the orders of a woman. Hah that makes me laugh" the legionary responded once again with a cocky attitude that would make even Ghandi want to shoot him in the head. The legionary then gave a hand signal and legionaries burst out of the neighbouring buildings.
Some of them were armed with guns, most of them were armed with the signature weapons of the legion, the gladius. The legionnaire in front of her lunged with his gladius. The improperly named sword bounced of the duraframe armor lower arm, leaving the blade with a small concave dent. In one swift motion Max grabbed the handle of the blade, twisting the legions arm and forcing him to drop the sword. She then leaned forward, delivering a brutal head-butt that knocked out the legionnaire. A mix of strange electrical buzzes and zaps gunfire roared from behind Max her fellow vault dwellers reduced the legionnaires to piles of ash and goo.
"Everybody fan out. That includes you robots as well. If it looks like a roman, I want it dead" max exclaimed.
The robots happily complied incinerating all the legionaries they found. Max and her few followers entered the closest building to them, which appeared to be a small schoolhouse turning the legion inhabitants into nice little green piles of goo. It was there that jess discovered a group of ten what appeared to be slaves when one of them warned them.
"careful the legionaries fitted us with explosive collars".
To which Jess replied
"don't worry I know my way around the odd explosive. I'll have those collars of you in no time."
Jess quickly disarmed the collars, taking no more than five minuets.
"See. Told you, theirs nothing to these collars just a couple of wires and a pressure switch once its disabled it's all smooth sailing." jess explained throwing the collar aside.
Two of the mister gutsy robots entered the schoolhouse escorting what appeared to be a woman and two children all three were clearly slaves also. The front one reported
"Two of the romans were disintegrated mistress Star. What do you want me to do with these three things?"
"leave them to me" max replied then beginning to speak to the woman.
"don't worry about them. Their just robots to keep the place secure.
Now I imagine those explosive collars can't be comfortable. Stand still so I can disarm them".
Max quickly disarmed the collars discarding them where jess had thrown the others. Once complete the woman thanked her saying
"Thank you miss. I thought we would be killed before we were free. Its been so long since we were free.
I don't know what we are going to do. I'm just glad we are free of the legion".
"You could stay here. Help with the restoration effort over at out general atomics manufacturing facility. Or you could just stay here and enjoy the added security of. . . We don't really have a name?" max said a little confused as she said that last part.
"I don't think we'd be much help restoring the manufacturing facility so I guess we'll stay here. I'm just glad you guys came, like some mysterious order of liberators dealing justice to those legionaries" the woman said tearing up in the joy of her new found freedom.
"You know that's actually a pretty good name 'Liberators'. If not a little over the top. Yeah I like the sound of that Liberators. Thanks er. . . I didn't catch your name" max pondered.
"Mary" replied the woman. With that the group of seven humans and four robots returned to the general atomics facility followed by those they had rescued. The ex-slaves now decided to take up residence in some of the abandon houses around the facility.
