Not much to tell. He ended up walking East one day when I was young and never came back. Not a family deserter like some, though.

Mom died waiting for him, and she had me to raise. She was sick but she held off dying until I was old enough to be getting into trouble with boys.

Any idea why he went East?

Not a clue. When he left, I was too in my crib to understand why, and around the time Mom passed, I was too into my teens to listen.

Got his name, got this pendant, and that's about it.

Gift from my Dad, along with my name. {Wistful} Rose of Sharon Cassidy.

Mom said he got the name out of some Old World book about dirt pilgrims. {Beat} Name sure sounds sweet, though.

Anyway, pendant's a little rose. Originally thought it was one of Mom's tribal necklaces, but no, came from Dad.

Is whiskey your drink of choice?

Still, I'm guessing I got some of Dad's love of whiskey in me, because the burn suits me fine.

Why would they do that?

My guess is Legion, they're trying to cut NCR's supply line... and the Mojave Outpost is proof. Got us locked up tighter than a New Vegas virgin.

No caravans in, out, and just {emph} try arguing with Jackson about it. "Roads aren't safe," he says.

You're looking at it. It's a watering hole without much to brag about.

Don't even tell me you missed it coming in. It's like NCR showing its dick to all the East.

If the Republic put as much effort into protecting the East as they put into those two asinine giants outside, then they'd be {emph} worth that monument.

Covered in blood?

And after the blood dries in the sun, he'll melt that piece of Jet-induced sculpture down, and reshape it into a bull.

What are those statues supposed to be?

What can you tell me about New Vegas?

Neutral 50

Much as anyone else. Cazador trap - you fly in, the city sucks a pint out of you, then you're out on the street.
|
404
|
| Disgust 5
|
NCR makes a habit of going there and dumping cash, only the Strip gets fat off it.
|

Couldn't tell you much more than that. Not really one for New Vegas when there's enough dumpwater bars in the Mojave to last me.

|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic156
|
And caravan life's the same way?
|
Disgust 5
|
{Raises an eyebrow} The Caravan fighting here in the Mojave... it's been downright brutal. The amount of caravan space you reserve for ammo alone...
|
407
|
| Disgust 5
|
{Sighs} And if it's not raiders, Powder Gangers, it's NCR tolls. They need to get the money from somewhere, even if it's Vegas-bound.

408
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic157
|
Do you deal mostly with NCR?
|
Neutral 50

Anyone wise does. Vegas families pay on time, from what I've heard - even the Omertas. The White Gloves pay on time, but they're... creepy.

Deal with anyone else, though, you're taking a big risk.

{Impressed} Must've been one huge metal Bighorner that crapped that chip out.

{Defensive, a little angry - hates these guys} The Legion? What about them?

All right, just asking.

416
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic161
|
Do they deal with any caravans at all?
|
Neutral 50
|
There's some caravans that deal with the Legion, yes. And as much as it pains me to say it, any caravan marked by the Legion is safe as houses.
|
417
|
| Neutral 50
|
They guard their roads, their supply lines - even Fiends would hesitate before going after any trader dealing with Legion.
|
418
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic162
|
You sound frustrated.
|
Anger 5
|
I am. If NCR took the same stand and committed patrols to the roads, then I think that'd solve a lot of their problems right there.
|
419
|
| Anger 10
|
But they don't. Caravans get butchered in the Mojave all the time, like mine. And so fucking close to Vegas, you could see it from the wall.
|
420
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic164
|
There must be good parts to the Republic.
|
Anger 5
|
NCR tries. It's just that trying doesn't mean a whole lot when you're paying your respects to the dead.
|
421
|
| Neutral 50
|
And Legion, from what I've heard, they don't do the "stop tolls" on the roads or in the outposts like some NCR quartermasters do.
|
422
|

|
You're lucky if you turn a profit sometimes if some new officer gets assigned a route, the fees just get worse.
|
423
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic165
|
Any other differences between Legion and NCR?
|
Neutral 50
|
Much as I hate the Legion, caravan life would be a hell of a lot easier if they ran the roads.
|
424
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Thinking about it again} Well, as long as those companies were run by men. And that's the biggest issue I see.
|
425

And it's a shame, but I think there's people on the NCR side who feel more strongly than I do.
|
426
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic166

What do you think of NCR?

NCR's my country, and I support it. Anyone who says otherwise, I'll feed them my knee.

|
I know which side of the firing line I'm on in the Mojave, just so you know.

There's a "but" in there.

Yeah, there is.

You support it no matter what?

I'm not some blind, flag-saluting do-as-they-will NCR lover. They're family, but let me tell you what family means.
|
430
|
| Neutral 50
|
You ever had a brother? Some dumbass younger brother, say, who knocked up the pastor's daughter, can't hold a job, and his home-away is a jail cell?

|
| Disgust 5
|
That's NCR. Their compass is spinning, all the time.
|
432
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic169
|
So they lack direction?
|
Neutral 50
|
They try to put their stake in everything they see.

Nobody's dick's that long, not even Long Dick Johnson, and he had a fucking long dick. Thus, the name.
|
434
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic170
|
Yeah, I got that part, thanks.
|
Neutral 50
|
So NCR, tries to hold on to everything. They can't, because it's too big for them to get their arms around.
|
435
|
| Neutral 50
|
They can't guard the roads, they can't put a line of troops around the Mojave... it's just greed that makes the heads back West even try.
|
436
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic172
|
So the Mojave suffers.
|
Sad 5
|
Aside from the people in the towns, it's the soldiers that suffer for it most.
|
437

| Neutral 50

Ever seen NCR troops asked to go after gangs at three-to-one odds? That bear flag doesn't make them bulletproof.
|

And when those gangs were caused by NCR in the first place, like the Powder Gangers? Caesar on a crutch, don't get me started there.

| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic173
|
So what's the alternative?
|
Neutral 50
|
Look, don't get me wrong.
|
440
|
| So what's the alternative?
|
Neutral 50
|
I wouldn't want the Brotherhood or the Followers or the Vegas families running the Mojave, all of them are a different kind of fuck-up.
|
441
|
| Neutral 50

NCR just has some shaping up to do. Maybe Caesar kicking them in the nuts is a nice wake-up call, is all I'm saying.
|
442
|
| Anger 5

I just wish Caesar would kick the heads of NCR, not the feet. {Beat} I've fucked a soldier in my time - they don't need to get fucked by their orders.

There's other alternatives.

Look... and what I'm about to say, I don't mean as any offense to you, I know where your sympathies lie.
|
444
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic175
|
What do you mean?
|
Neutral 50
|
Some caravans deal with the Legion now because the security. If towns could get the same protection? A lot more tempting than you'd think.
|
445
|
| Neutral 50
|
A bunch of people would be willing to side with the Legion to not have to worry about Fiends and Boomers and Powder Ganger attacks.
|
446
|
| Sad 10
|
{Sad} It's not hard for some folks to sell freedom when the alternative is worse. Especially if being with NCR is going to get you on a Legion cross.

You sure you want to do this?

Oh, I'm sure. Killing never felt so good, could almost hear the dead behind me guiding my hand.

You know, when I first heard about them, I was so mad, but there was this little part of me that said, "you can't do to them what they did to you."

I say fuck that part. I feel purified, and I love the fact that there's no more loose ends.

Not many people in my company would have done what you did for me without some hesitation or asking me to cool down.

Wait, that's not true. I think the NCR back West, when riled, is going to be the worst enemy the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan ever had.

They're all so mired in procedure and paper out there, the kind of evidence we gave is going to be worse than shooting them.

Don't care much for which one we kill first, whether settling accounts with McLafferty or making that bitch Gloria eat her hair.
|
462
|

The Van Graffs are going to be tougher, so we'll likely get killed there. If we go to the Crimson Caravan camp, we'll just need a lot of bullets.
|
463
|

Still, we give the Van Graffs the what-for, that means all those guns they used on my caravan - we can take and use on the Crimson Caravan.
|
464
|
| VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic187

There's another way - we can get evidence, let NCR take them down.
|
Anger 20
|
NCR? Are you out of your fucking mind?
|
465
|
| Anger 20
|
That'd take years... and with the war with the Legion, no way they're going to waste time running up the Crimson Caravan or the Van Graffs!
|
466

| There's another way - we can get evidence, let NCR take them down.
|
Neutral 50

And what makes you think any evidence can be found?

The harm to the Van Graffs would last longer - and travel back West.

All right, if you poke around the Van Graffs and Alice, fine.

But if I see either one, go into their camp? I'm going to start shooting, no matter what you find.

Because of what happened to your caravan.

{Blinks} You're saying... they might need to do the same thing to each other some day. And evidence is easier than bullets.

|
No one enters into a deal like this unless they have dirt on their partner.

{Blinks} No... No, I'd agree with that. And Alice and Gloria are two crows that'd keep something like that in their nest.

Anyone you trust in NCR?
