The Mojave. A quiet place. All until the damn NCR came and "civilized" the land. That old world wall became a subject of their affection. But you can't expect to take the dam without someone else also staking a claim to it. Caesar also claimed it for himself but was beat to the punch. The bear and the bull; the two biggest blights on the land.
Max was a mojave desert ranger. Watched over Novac, Nelson and Searchlight while on his patrols. But after a while, everything started to crumble. Searchlight was annexed by the NCR, thus becoming a target for the legion. Novac seemed to be plagued by having the ghouls near by and Nelson...well, we all know what happened to Nelson. Plagued by failure and ashamed at the desert rangers for merging into the NCR, he left. He simply gave up fighting. He now stays at Goodsprings, in the prospector saloon.
Max was in the prospector saloon. It was late morning and the whole town was in a uproar about some brain dead courier who got shot in the head and put in a shallow grave. Victor dug him up and left him at doc Mitchell's for healing but I doubt anyone can save that courier now. The jukebox was on and Lazy day blues was playing in the distance while Trudy was wiping down the counter top. Max was sitting in a booth in the corner, acting bitter after what happened.
"I can't believe it. The desert rangers ******* gave up. ******* NCR and their ******* rules and taxes n' ****. No one needed them and we still don't need em'. Same goes for the legion..."

Max, being deep in sorrow, looked over to see a new face in the saloon. "Huh...a doctor? Or maybe another one of Caesar's couriers?" Taking another drink of his Rum n' Nuka he took a better look at the newcomer. Slightly browned skin, a makeshift spear and worn out gear...If I didn't know any better, I would guess him a tribal...huh, might be out from Arizona...Caesar's land. Leaving a pile of caps on the table for my tab, I headed out.

My character is more or less a ranger. A sniper that lives of the land. I have a hunting revolver and a hunting rifle with a custom bolt action and a improved hammer and firing mechanism. I also walk around with a dufflebag flung around my shoulder.

"Kill myself? No, not yet. I still have a job to do." Max scans the new figure that walked in. "Heavy with the dust of the long 15. NCR. Maybe you're a ranger here to get me to join the baja rangers? No, that would be too obvious. A walking target...Who are you?" Max then turning to face the new wanderer, with a twirl of his trench coat, his armor seeming more obvious. Desert pale. The desert ranger armor.

"Mercenary. Money for blood. For caps. How many bottles of Nuka can be filled with the amount of blood you spilled? The amount of caps you got? Don't feel guilt do you? I doubt they do out west." Max opened his duffle and pulled out his desert ranger helmet and puts it on. "Be careful out there. If you're weak, the mojave'll break you. Let the land do it's killing. A lesson learned from a courier. Tribal no less." Max then pulled out a canteen and took a sip. Flinging his hunting rifle over his shoulder, he started heading out. "But before I go, I have a proposition, Mercenary. I need to get to nipton. It's a weeks worth of travel. A promise I made. Have to keep. I'll make it worth your while."

Stopping and turning my head over to the other one sitting at the bar. Eye lenses red and almost lifeless from the helmet. "Death from afar. Almost religious to me. Kill those that threaten the lives of the innocent. Self defense too if need be. Legion, Khans, Fiends, NCR, Mercenaries, assassins, Brotherhood of Steel. Each are the same yet simply show difference in discipline and uniform. Each kill for their own reasons. They don't see the killing from their weapons, look but don't see, hear but don't listen. My justice is justified. And if they're so hungry that they need to bleed the caps out of others, than they are too desperate to distinguish themselves from murderers."

"Cazadors and deathclaws lay claim to the north of goodsprings. I couldn't kill the Alpha male of the pack. Too strong unless you have God's wrath with you. Powder gangers to the south. A creation of NCR but weaker than the Mojave. Even if you don't trust me...well, let the land do your killing." Beginning to walk out of the saloon, Max felt the sun come down on him like spears of Helios. Heading to the direction of the general store, he knew his goal. Whether he walked the road on his lonesome or with shadows to follow.

"We leave tomorrow at late Noon. Grab whatever you need, nothing more. The road is treacherous and breaks the weak, don't weigh yourself down with old world relics." Max pulls out a bottle of water and hands it to the wandering doctor. "Water is worth more than caps out here. Our next stop will be the goodspring's source. Meet up outside the saloon tomorrow and we'll depart...tribal."

Previously in the general store: "Be ready for the trek than merc. We will gather outside the saloon at late noon and make our way first to the goodspring's source." Max than drops a sack of caps on Chet's counter. "Buy only what you NEED, merc. Don't weigh yourself down with old world relics. Food, ammo, water, and other basic necessities. I'm going to the goodsprings doctor to get medical supplies. Be ready for the next week. It won't be easy". Max than left for the doctor's home.

The impatience on Max's face was hidden by his helmet but he still held disdain for the tribal to becoming a slave to his own desires. "Indulging in bad habits before a expedition...Huh...almost an omen if I didn't know any better."
Checking his sniper and his bullets to see if their was enough to go on. 115 hand loaded .308 rounds. 44 magnum rounds accounted for. His dufflebag heavy with empty bottles and other supplies for the road. He also carried another bag of .308 casings, primer and lead. Max knew how to read the stars to tell his location, how to live off the land. How to follow the sands. A specialized ranger on his lonesome for most of his life.

Max was perched up on a nearby building with a pair of binoculars and his sniper at the ready. Max being already bitter with the NCR trader, decided he would take it out on powder gangers that threatened the town. Noticing two figures top the horizon, max started thinking of why the caravan was allowed to come up such a dangerous route. Maybe if he stopped at the mojave outpost and talked with the "ranger" there, he would get his answer.
The two figures started to get closer. Judging from their clothing, they were NCRCF convicts. One seemed to be Hispanic and the other a African-American. Pulling up his rifle, max took aim. He only had 1 shot to scare of the others. Taking aim at the African-American, than the Hispanic. Slowly moving between the targets, pondering to himself which would live...Max lined up his scope, focused on his targets head. After a moment, a loud crack filled the air and echoed toward the the town and the small canyons surrounding the area. The bullet flew steady, hitting what he intended. It knocked the hat off of the African-American's hat. Max still peering through his scope watched the two men panic, and turn around and leave with haste.
With a heavy breathe, Max started to relax. Getting up, he started to go back into town to check what the situation was. He cared little for the injured NCR trader. His own fault he is injured. Should've just died there with his caravan and left on the sun baked asphalt. Regardless, Max was already on the ground and heading back. Hopefully the tribal already fixed him.

Max was climbing down from the roof of the building when he noticed the mercenary walking to him. He almost reminds max of a naked brotherhood knight. Pre-war tech in his hand. Old world still has fight in it. Still looking for its enemy.
"Yes I do...Interesting...This comes from out east. From the tribes. Read the sands and watch the land. Use it like your weapon. Use it to save yourself in more ways than one. Use it to kill your enemies in more ways than one. Learned how to use it from a tribal. Learned it from him when he walked the long 15. Shares my anger of the NCR and Legion. Peculiar from him. Regardless, thank you". Feeling strangely forlorn, max started walking to the town doctor to acquire another item of interest.

"His death is simply postponed. Fear can sometimes be the strongest tool in your arsenal. To think that I would kill a man for simply attempting to bring a message...what type of world would it be if courier killed courier?"... Max shifted over slightly to face the wandering doctor. Still examining him. Very young to be a wanderer out in the Mojave. Especially if he came out from east. "I am alpha and omega, beginning and end...".

"I will give onto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Do either of you know what that means?" Max stood almost impatiently for a response. Behind his helmet was clear annoyance to the mercenary's ignorance. "Water has been a deciding factor for every civilization. I know this land and what is here. Where the springs are and where death hides. Get to your destinations without listening, you'll be some abominations next meal."

"Fair enough. We might make it to Primm by evening tomorrow if we depart now. But we will make it a goal to make it to the goodspring's source. Geckos probably infested it. We might have a bit of target practice to go with it". Max than making his way to the road, started walking down the I-15 south.
After a bit of a walk, the small group made it to the goodspring's source. There was a strange lack of geckos there but it allowed for more time on the road. Max opened his duffle and spilled out almost 15 empty bottles and started filling each of them up. Those bottles and drinks were meant for one to survive for a week. But Max knew if it was all rationed properly, they would make it no worse for wear.
After filling up the bottles, he put them all back in his bag.
[Strong back] These bottles shouldn't weigh me down as bad as my other longer treks I take. Leaving heavier prints in the sand and dust. Slow myself down enough for a worthwhile cause".
As they walked down the long 15, Max noticed he strode out a bit ahead of the mercenary and the tribal doctor. They were talking with each other. The distance was slightly to great to hear exactly what they spoke about but Max cared little to slow down and find out. All he cared currently was getting to Nipton.

As the small group made their way, night fall started to cloak the Mojave like a large sheet over a bed. Starting to get incredibly dark, and knowing his companions lacked night vision like his helmet had, Max realized they would have to make camp for the night.
They walked for another ten minutes before spotting a shack in the distance. Heading inside it, Max saw that it was entirely empty. A table, lockers, a HAM radio and a key and a empty bottle of sunset sarsparilla. Checking the lockers for provisions, Max found out 3 of the 4 lockers were unlocked, unlike the last. Regardless, Max found 2 sleeping bags inside of the lockers and 2 bottles of Wine.
"We can make camp in here, away from the elements. One of us will have to be a sentry for the night. Nightstalkers, powder gangers or a particularly excited gecko might make sure we won't wake up". Realizing Max was the only one with night vision, he realized he would have to keep watch.
"I'll keep watch for the night. You two get some sleep. I want to get to the Mojave outpost by Noon tomorrow". Max walked out of the shack and made his way to the roof of the shack. Looking around, he noticed a plane nearby. He inspected it for a bit before realizing this was the pre war sky diving sign up he heard about. At least he had a better understanding of where they were.

Looking through the barrel of his sniper, he spotted a person starting to get close. A lone figure with a dufflebag hulking it's way towards where they were. Turning on night vision, Max got a better look. The figure he saw was wearing a lab coat and glasses. Max thought it might've been a follower of the apocalypse but changed his mind realizing how far off Freeside was. It was probably a Legionairy assassin poised as a follower. How else would he have survived this long this far out?
Than another thought dawned to him, taking a shot would be too loud and draw attention from everywhere. So Max jumped down as quietly as he could and started sneaking behind some rocks waiting for the "follower" to walk by. A slit throat is much quieter he thought as he drew his bowie knife.

[Silent Running] Max started to rush quietly over to the "follower". Sprinting during explosions from the distance of the powder gangers. He was behind him after a minute of trying to get behind him. Getting close to him, he flung one hand around his neck and held the bowie knife near his jugular artery.
In a deep and almost angry voice, he hissed at the "follower", "How dare you cross the Colorado. Cross over, past cottonwood, past Nelson, past Searchlight. Do you seek Goodsprings as your next target? Or the artery of the west is your current target? Speak assassin, before you become a failed Frumentarii !"

Max slightly loosened his grip. "Weak and fearful. You are a follower of the apocalypse. You scream as though you have been hoisted up as another victim of the legion waiting for death. Interesting how you beg to sell whatever you need for your life. Weakness that would leave your thoat open for anyone to cut it open. Leave it open for a mongrel to bite it. No need to kill you. Fear has already done that for me". Max grabbed him by his collar and lead him to the shack. He wasn't going to take a chance.
Practically kicking the door in, he shoved the follower inside. "You have been found yet you still persist to hide. Like a mouse in a wolf's gaze. Your death is not yet here".

"Ignorance can be the downfall of a nation. A corrupt message as any other bomb. He claims to know medicine and mechanics. He will be useful to us". Looking at the follower on the ground, Max asked him, "Why are you this far out? Is Fremont already disintegrating like a bolt from the Van Graffs? Or is it bled out like the den of the Garretts? Speak, "doctor", before my impatience becomes evident".

Beginning to ease up on the aggresive tone, Max realized he really was a doctor. "I know of the deathclaws there. Made my trip to Sloan more than once. Spoke with them, with Lewis. Made my efforts but my bullets could not finish the alpha male. Killed the youngest offspring. Was forced to retreat after the matriarch began identifying the source of the gunshots. Fair enough. Put your gun away Lucas. He seems to recruit a pacifist philosophy to himself".
Looking closer at the doctor, he noticed his shakes would not subside. [Perception 9] It seems you are in need of the Scholar's support, no? Those shakes are only of those that are suffering from instability". Max got up and handed him a bottle of water he kept on his person. "Take it if you need it. Since you and Lucas over here are both looking for the same location, you both can hold your burdens together."

"Mercenaries. Care nothing of morality or civility. Blood for Caps. Just like the twins of Fremont or like the West." Sitting down in a old chair behind the desk, Max took off his helmet, Revealing a man in his late 20's. His hair was dark like the pitch black Mojave midnights and his eyes were of a dark green. He had a small beard growing and his hair was a complete mess like a waster. A large scar was evident on his left cheek trailing upward to his forehead. "Relax doctor, I won't kill you. Either you kill yourself or the Mojave'll break you first."

"I scanned the area when I was on the roof. I only spotted a small group of Coyote to the Northwest. And you shouldn't disregard a unarmed man for being unarmed. He indeed does have defense. The doctor is shook enough as is. Let him rest. And since he has a slight smell of urine to him, I don't believe he has the resolve to be a catalyst or a agent of Bear or Bull."
Max reached into his trench coat pocket and pulled out a dose of psycho, fixer and a super stimpack from his dufflebag. "A man I met while ranging the wastes taught me of a way to cure yourself of a addiction but it will hurt like hell. Mix the super stim, fixer and psycho in one shot and take it directly into your bloodstream for immediate results. And tribal, chem fiends lack the coordination, legion restricts use of chems, NCR has no interest in us and Khans are too far out to only attack us. No reason to worry".

"A demon is still a demon regardless of it's intention or nature. If you choose to employ it, it is your burden to bear." after a moment of thought, Max spoke up again. "Now I understand. The Followers are on Fremont. Close enough to get underground chems quick n' cheap but far enough as to not be associated. The followers are capable of helping you if you get too hung or if withdrawal is too strong. Reminds me of a certain brain far enough west. In a pre war place called Death Valley. Lives up to its name. He was quite a chipper one. Had a small fortune of mentat pills. Enough to last a few years for someone like you."

"Fair enough". Max began to doze off slowly. His arms folded and his legs kicked up on the table. Only a few hours left until the first lights of morning.
As morning began to slowly creep onto the Mojave, Max also woke up as if a internal alarm clock went off. He noticed the tribal was passed out still and the doctor still was reading. Getting up from the chair, it was old and practically groaned upon getting up. Walking over, he kicked the tribal lightly to wake up and went outside to check up on Lucas.
As Max walked out, he noticed Luke sitting by the door of the shack. "Morning...No worse for wear I see."

Early morning. As Max started looking up and down the long 15. Almost half expecting someone to come. Someone specific. While looking, Max noticed some gecko in the distance.
Max started to go for them as the prospect of a gecko steak pulled him closer. As he pulled out his hunting revolver, he knew if he killed one, he would have to kill them all. Looking through the small scope of his revolver, he took 4 shots and managed to kill 3 of the 4 geckos. The other started charging at Max. Max quickly maneuvered for his bowie knife and thrust it right into the gecko's throat and slit it open.
Content with the amount of geckos, Max went and cut out the meat of the geckos and from his dufflebag, put them on a spit. Carrying the meat over, still bloody and soaking, Mac knew he would need to start a fire but had his hands full at the moment.

As Max walked back, he noticed how Lucas put his glasses on. "Besides plaguing us with the stench of urine, he seems to have stabilized. Not sure about the tribal though. He seems ornery enough to cut his losses, kill the doctor and run... I just realized, I never gave you my name, have I?"

"Fair enough. Names mean little in these times." Max noticed a pile of wood on top of a old tire. After a moment of kindling with a lighter he picked up from a Vegas novelty shop, the makeshift camp fire started burning. Max than started to cook the gecko meat.
"Lucas, go into my dufflebag and retrieve me my 2 large iron rod prongs along the length of the bag. Take anything else and I'll cut off your small finger. This meat is difficult to handle not to get dirty".

"Unless you wish to walk the road on your lonesome. I doubt the Legion would attack you but gangers, random raiders, mongrels or some other abomination might be interested in you.
After a while and the meat was cooked and the group ate their share, and the Max looked at the doctor. "Now make your decision. If you decide to walk with us, you must carry our burden with us. If not, I am not responsible for your safety".

"Death is following everyone. Just a question of how close. It is your decision if you want to stop them long enough for death to catch up. And you indeed can help "Eddie" over here. A aspiring doctor. Maybe he could join the followers and learn more."
As the group set off, They passed a gas station infested with radscorpions. The small group made quick work of them and managed to scavenge a few boxes of cram, Salisbury steak, chewing gum and assorted ammunition. Once they set out, they all knew they would have to stop at the Mojave outpost to acquire more supplies and sell off other things.
"That statue. A spit in my face. A memorial to where the desert rangers died. A beacon to the legion of weakness. Of another lost flag. Rolled over by the bear. Its claw marked into the Mojave now. It makes me sick to my stomach".
The group than started to walk up the long 15 to the Mojave outpost. And Max having to deal with the frustration and disgust of such a(n) atrocity and the people there that raised it.

"The living must speak with the dead. A ranger must speak with a ghost. Do what you must but I have someone to talk to and straighten something out". Max than left for the roof of the first building where a pale woman was standing. She was wearing large authority glasses and wore a ranger hat.
After an hour, Max walked away from the roof of the building silent. Still wearing his helmet, his eyes more lifeless than usual. He walked into the bar and noticed Eddie and Jason at the bar but Luke was no where to be seen.
"Where is the Mercenary, Eddie? We're leaving. I'm leaving. Must let history keep or I will be condemned to repeat it. The desert rangers are now rolling in their Mojave graves and I must leave before I come to exact revenge."

Max turned to Eddie and simply said, "History". Max continued down the hill regardless if they were following him or not. If he stayed, he would be liable for too many tragedies. Too many widows. Too many fatherless & motherless children. Too many graves.

Max turned on his night vision and kept walking down the road. Nipton was his next stop. Either he would get there or he would go back and die killing those that killed his flag. NCR to him was just another plague that needed to be dealt with and exterminated.
Max kept his bowie knife and revolver close at hand. He had little trust to those that weren't Mojave native. Having enough practice fighting Legionaires in knife fights and chem fiends in gun fights, he understood how to catch an enemy off guard.
Seeing the three catch up to him, he realized that they needed him for their own selfish needs. He knew it would be easier for them to just shoot him in his back and loot him but he knows that would mean their deaths in the long run. They had not truly made their acquaintance with a Prime Legionaire or Decanus looking for a worthy opponent or another slave.
While on the road to nipton, he knew he was a ways ahead of the group. Either he was moving too fast or they were moving slowly for a reason. He knew he would have to take out what was in his dufflebag eventually. He began to face little option but to be better armed. His death was speeding up, though he wasn't sure of which direction.

Raiders poured out in a sudden ambush. Guns blasting in the darkness. Realizing what was happening, Max pulled out two concealed ranger sequoia's he had hidden in his trench coat and quickly took a shot at a raider charging him with a lead pipe. He blew out a chunk of his brain but got shot in the leg by a .38 caliber revolver. Fumbling over, he kept shooting at the light flashes' sources. Than he also realized laser beams were being blasted at the raiders.....or from the raiders. Too much was occurring and Max's mind was too bent on revenge to care about raiders.

Max was behind a wall. Injected a stimpack near his bullet wound, he got up. He could feel the strength come back and the pain leave. Gunfire was muted in his ears. His heartbeat was all he could hear.
"You're deadly ranger. A big iron on your hip and fire coming from your trail". Remembering his time with the original desert rangers. "Death from a distance eh? Heh...You really don't die, do ya ranger?"... Rage started to fill Max's mind. Good memories from his now dead friends...all gone. "Let history keep Max, or you will be condemned to repeat it."...The courier spoke the truth. "I must not allow it to than..."
Reloading his revolvers with a devilish sleight of hand, he turned the corner and shot 2 raiders behind cover in the head. "Raze it, raze it even to the foundation." Max recited psalm 137:9 while gunning down the raiders behind cover, caring little for personal safety.
Once Max ran out of shots, he pulled out his bowie knife and lunged at the raider near Jason trying to kill him. "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against thy stone. Happy shall he be." The bowie knife dragged along the raiders gullet to his temple slowly. Upon pulling out the knife, blood sprayed violently from the raiders severed jugular.
"Kill the gentiles...Purify the land." Max than looked at Jason gripping a scalpel tightly. Silently and unmoving, Max looked at Jason with the Crimson red eyes from his helmet in utter silence.

"Yey we wept, when we remembered Zion". Max began to reload his Sequoia revolvers and put them back in his trench coat. Max turned on his night vision to get a better look for stragglers that might've survived. As Max scanned the area, he noticed a lone figure due west down the road. Pulling out his hunting revolver, Max started to walk toward the figure.

Max having little patience looked at the tribal doctor. "The bullet is the least of my concerns. The conditions are infectious and there is still one more left. Now either you step aside or we all might suffer further". Checking the bullets in his hunting revolver, Max looked down the street further, barely making out the figure to be... "Ghoul. A pre war ghost is at our doorstep."
Max than looked at the tribal and sighed heavily, "Fine, tribal. Examine my leg." Max walked over to a piece of wall and sat down, taking off his helmet to relax after a vicious gunfight.

Max looked at Eddie, thinking for a moment. "Gather around the campfire and hand me my dufflebag. It's time I say something". After Max received his dufflebag, he leaned back against a wall and started telling a story.
"I do have a tribal recipe. Out from Arizona. Learned it from the twin mothers. A particular way of mixing broc and xander. Learned it before Caesar taught them the Legion's strength.
When I was younger, I was a part of the Legion. A centurion in training. I was taught to be tough. Little food and water for days on end. Forced marches. Hand to hand combat and how to use a knife. How to live off the land and how to kill. I was loyal until the discovery of the Dam...
Caesar was obsessed with it. He killed anyone in his way. Tribals were forced to be assimilated or be fully exterminated. Men were slaughtered and women became slaves. Young children had to immediately begin training. It became inhumane and so I left without a trace.
Mojave became my home and the desert rangers became my family. I fought tooth and nail for the people. They were regular people trying to live their lives until Caesar started to change that. I was disgusted at the tactics and I was disgusted at his obsession. NCR was almost no different. They came, they saw, they annexed. The people had no say in the matter. The bear didn't look where it's claw landed.
The Mojave began to be attacked from two sides simultaneously. Primm, Searchlight, Boulder city, Nelson. They all had little say in the matter. It disgusted me. Two nations so selfish, that they can't see what is occurring in front of them because all they see is their ambition.
My real name...My real name is Maximus Arelius. The Mojave is my home and I will kill anyone that says otherwise. I know how to bear pain. Bullets and knives do little to slow me down."
((If you looked at the OOC, depending on your dialogue with Max, it will depend if you get the on your lonesome perk or the For history's sake perk.))

"Hehehe... Aliquid novi sub sole. I learned Cato from Caesar himself. I learned a lot of my skill from the Legion. Though Eddie tells me the bullet wound will cause irreparable damage, I barely feel any pain. There is a way to get the bullet out, though it will be tricky. You will need a hit of turbo and jet for it. If I recall, it was called Rocket. Now which one of you two doctors feel inclined to do it?"

"Legion was family to me. They raised me, taught me, disciplined me and gave me strength. I didn't agree with the pointless murder and enslavement but I was still a loyal member. I was at the rank of praetorian when I left. I was trained in proper hand to hand combat and I know how to ise machetes and knives properly. I know all the weak points in a person's body and the major arteries. I know how to make a person's death slow and painful...but I don't. It's not me. I rather subscribe myself to mercy killing someone than allow them to be tortured."
Max began to go in his dufflebag and pulled out a machete gladius. "This blade alone has claimed the lives of 54 men that challenged me...we used to have a saying whenever we were about to kill a profli- ahem, enemy; To be spared is the ultimate insult."

[Guns 50 & Repair 50] "That revolver seems to have dirt in the cylinder and the hammer is near broken. I can't do a thing until we reach a place with a work bench". Max looked up at the stars and sighed heavily. "I do have a stash of weaponry & equipment from when the desert rangers were still something. Head north from Nipton, walk with the coyotes along the industrial path until you locate the Primm pass. There will be a shack there, guarded by blind death. That shack has my stash. Harper died telling me its location. A desert ranger like me."

You seemed to really be tossing and turning viciously... Perhaps killing someone isn't as routine for you as I thought it would be". Max pulled out a bottle of water and some coyote tobacco chew. The minty taste of it helped Max get his mind together in the early mornings.
"You know, while you guys were asleep, I went looting in those ruins opposite of us and found some interesting things. 2 frag grenades, 3 frag mines and 2 helpings of hydra. Now I don't mean to sound impatient but could you please apply it so we can get on our way?" The impatience and disgust of laziness became evident in Max's passive aggressive tone easily.

Max looked over to Luke and let out a small chuckle. "Heh, I know if I pull the pin, we either all die or it kills something else. I have no skill with explosives. Probably will end up blowing up my hand in the process. You want it, take it. Lord knows pre war tech like that has probably expired and is volatile. Wouldn't recommend holding onto it."
Getting up and dusting himself off. max picked up his rifle and cocked back the hammer to let out the casing inside the barrel. "Bury the bodies? Those that attempted to kill us? They are not befit for such privilege. They are simply animals that were put down for terrorizing the Lord's children. But if you care do dirty your hands in such a way, go ahead."
As Max looked to Nipton, he saw something that he wasn't expecting. Large smoke pillars filled the skies above and darkened the sun. The stench of burning rubber began to slowly approach the groups small encampment. "Something is wrong...We have to go to Nipton now. I fear the desert fox has already struck".

Max also left for Nipton. Whatever occured, he had to investigate. Wasn't in his nature to leave it be. Max checked all his weapons to make sure they were loaded. He wasn't sure for what exactly was ahead but he was damned if he wasn't going to investigate.
Upon getting there, the stench of burning rubber flooded the nose. The town's residents seemed to cook on the piles of burning tires and screams could be heard of those that haven't died yet. Max went on main street of the town and looked forward down toward the town hall. Upon laying his eyes on the crimson red outfit, his breath hitched. Nearly dropped his rifle upon seeing the man with the dog hood on his head. "No...no... No damn it... VULPES!!!"

Vulpes began to talk back to Max with a almost serpent like tone. "Ahh Maximus. Are you done with your little rebellion? Are you going to come back and receive your rank of Centurion? Or must I tell Caesar that Scorpion of Arizona has lost his Venom? The Malpais legate himself trained you before he was...taught a permanent lesson. But what of you?" Vulpes' voice almost dripped with sinister purpose as he purred ever so calmly while murderous atrocities were being carried out.
Max remained silent for a moment. Thinking back to his potential raise in rank. To one of the most fearsome warriors in the Legion. Max than spoke up, "Non timent faciem tauro scorpionis. The scorpion does not fear the bull. Nor do I fear the fox. I am not in any way rebellious, you are just simply glorified butchers. Those people might have been sinful, but they do not deserve such deaths. Are such crimes justified? Do their crimes outweigh the punishments you have inflicted upon them?"
Vulpes let out a quiet chuckle and in a similarly quiet voice spoke right back to Max. "This town is an example to the bear. To all that support the bear and to all that come from the bear. Do not act better than us just because you don't commit such crimes anymore. You have slain whole villages at the order of Caesar without remorse. Or have you already forgotten? Would make sense coming from someone that pities the profligates. This entire town is a den of snakes, thieves and prostitutes. Their death from your so-called "God" was imminent. We just simply did his bidding."
Max being at a loss of words was quiet. Stood there like he was dug into the earth. He paused like there was nothing. He was unsure of how to reply. After a minute of silence, Max replied simply, "Joshua would never kill those that would harm his children, so why do you if you claim to do the Lord's work?"

Legionaires kept doing what they were ordered to. The cries of people echoed through the town as they were tortured and killed. Crucified, decapitated, burned and enslaved. No one was safe. There were some that fought but they were quickly killed. Max was frozen in place. The scene all too familiar to him from his days in the legion.
Vulpes spoke up again. Simply stating, "They are weak, we are strong. You are strong. Don't waste your time protecting the profligates. They don't care if you would live or die. We would. You are a Centurion, Maximus. Own up to it."

Max weighed his options carefully. Unsure of what to do. Vulpes spoke up while Max was still in thought, "You could also be a Frumentarii. You blend into the Mojave perfectly. A ranger, fighting the bear at every nook and crannie. Your anger boils against the NCR. At least with the Legion, you'll be rewarded for killing those degenerates. Your own slaves and your own personal legoon of troops at your command. Caesar would forgive you. I promise as the head Frumentarii. I will see to it."

"You're a fool, mercenary." Max than looked at Vulpes and spoke,"Tell Caesar I will be at the Fort in a month. We'll see everything through and through. Until then, I will be leaving with this profligate here." Max walked over and put his revolver to Luke's head. "Move, profligate, or I'll have you lashed onto a cross."
After shoving and pushing Luke to the outskirts of town, Max pulled his revolver back. "You are a idiot. You threatened the head Frumentarii of Caesar. You're now going to be marked unless he's in a good mood". Putting his revolver back in his trench coat, Max took off his helmet and sighed heavily.

Max put his helmet back on. Looking at the wandering tribal doctor, he looked pale. Almost dead. There was one more gunshot. Than a unnerving silence. The stench continued to fill the air around the town. The smoke was thick and almost blocked out the sun. Max was very used to the stench of burning flesh and smoke. Screams and gunshots also meant little to him.
"What goes around, comes around I guess. A town full of heathens shall now pay for their sins. My brethren have fulfilled the Lord's duty. Now their judgement is ahead of them. The Lord is the final authority. Before them, will be their fate."

Max beginning to be annoyed at the groups weakness, started considering Vulpes' proposition. The Legion were a strong army. Caesar was a competent leader. Even Lanius would be a admirable leader. Maybe it was time to get his old Praetorian uniform and wear it again. Be a praetorian again.

Max dropped a sack of caps on the ground. The sack held 750 caps. Enough for both the mercenary and the tribal. "Go ahead, "tribal". Take your caps. Use it to purchase more chems and liquor like the profligate you are."
Max began to leave, heading down the road to Novac. He couldn't care less if they followed. Better if they would let the Legion nail them to a cross. "Weak, dissolute, unresolved". Max said that to the two as he began to leave.

As Max walked along the train track heading North, he made it his goal to get to Novac. From there, he would make it to Nelson, and than to Cottowood cove. Dead Sea would be sure to help him.
After a couple of minutes, he started to think back to the three. Their chance of survival was against them without his guidance. But he didn't care to help those that lacked resolve. That hinge on pre-war medicine for strength. They were dissolute...but the follower was not a part of any of it. The tribal was too far out and too new to the Mojave to be a part of any of it. But the Mercenary, he held disdain for him. Ignorant, self absorbed, greedy. Lives mean little to him for the right price. Max knew that group will be broken by the Mojave. A shame he had to lose money over a lost cause.

Max walked along the train track. Running into a group of coyote. He dispatched them with ease. Crossing over a small mountain and making it to a road, Max learned where he was. A ways ahead would be the ranger station. Seeing the pre-war train tracks, he made his way onto it and started to walk down toward Novac.
As he walked his road, he noticed a bridge ahead of him. Perfect spot for a ambush. Drawing his revolver, he made his way down toward the bridge. Ready to draw on anything that wanders into his sight.

As Max began to inch closer to the overpassing bridge, he took out his only flashbang grenade. He had been saving it if he would ever be cornered, but now seemed like a good idea to have it out just in case. Max walked as quietly as he could. Making his gear rattle as little as possible.

Max slowed down. He noticed two figures in the shadows of the overpass. Carefully, Max began to ready his flashbang. It won't kill anyone but it will give him enough time to quickly run up and dispatch of the two if they were raiders. If they were just hiding, he would let them be after knocking them out.
As Max began to pull the pin, he noticed another figure on the top along a ridge line. He pulled the pin and threw his grenade near the two figures, hoping the third figure would be caught in the flashbang's radius. He pulled out his Machete Gladius, waiting for the flash. He had been using his Machete earlier to cut out barrel cactus fruit and banana yucca so it was close at hand afterward.
Max closed his eyes as the flash hit, and he ran forward. Opening his eyes, he saw the two figures begin to fall over and cover their faces. He noticed the figure on the ridge line was not there anymore. He was either gone or maneuvered away. It didn't matter. He ran up to the two, grabbing a woman in metal armor and putting the machete to her throat. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

As the Mojave sky darkened, Max heard the struggles end. He was near the source of it all. After hiding for a moment, he recognized the voices. It was of the group of dissolute profligates he was walking with until Nipton. Heavy breathing and forced words were all he heard.
Max turned on his helmets night vision to get a better look. What he saw disgusted him. The follower ingested the blood of a fire axe. He knew something was off about that follower but cannibalism disgusted Max. Max got up from the shadows and began to walk forward to the group with his sequioas in hand.
"To drink the blood and eat the flesh of the Lord's children is a disgrace to our father. You claim to be help those in need of it, but you are more despicable than these reavers that lie dead. The reavers that you consume of their life." Max pointed a sequioa at Jasons head and pulled the hammer back. "Repent and beg for forgiveness from our father or I shall send you to Satan".

Hearing Jason tell Max he is too tired and injured to care angered him. "Disgusting. You are a abomination in the eyes of the Lord and I shall carry his vengeance". Max took a shot near Jason's leg as a way to spook him into repenting. "Repent or I shall tell Julie Farkas to look for another wasteland junkie to train!"

Max cocked and drew his second revolver at Jason. "[Terrifying Presence ?]Attempt to kill me and I promise I'll get to Caesar and tell him to go east until he finds your tribe and strikes its name along with you from history." Max than pulled back his hammer on the revolver he just shot. [Perception 8] "You are not the follower. You are his demon. I should kill you like the pathetic abomination you are. Even if I die, the Legion WILL mark you for death. Do you know the amount of Frumentarii came into the Mormon fort? And do you know how many are there? Watching Julie Farkas carefully? "
Max than looked over to Eddie. "Killing me is to only ensure your death, and your tribes death. They will make sure you watch your tribe burn to the ground before they crucify you in front of the mass grave that will be there. Your last sight on this Earth will be of your dead tribe."
Max than looked at Jason, slumped on the ground. Weak and exhausted. Almost like prey waiting for a predator to finally put it out of its misery. "The Legion might be flawed but we will crush the NCR and we will burn away all degenerates like you. Festering in the body of a weakling. Too tired to fight. Too scared to fight. Now either the follower repents, or I shall leave your corpse rotting and baking in the sun. A treat for the Nightstalkers and Vultures that patiently wait. The Lord's justice is at hand. Now it is your decision. Cannibal".

[Stonewall] "You call that a hit?! Pathetic. I've fought Mole rats with more strength than you". Max than quickly moved and aimed t g e revolver that was aiming at Jason, at Lucas. "I fear no man and no beast. That doctor is neither. He doesn't even deserve to be a slave. He is a abomination. Abominations must be eradicated from this land."
Max than turned around and began to walk up to Jason. Max stopped 3 feet away and looked at Jason with the lifeless red eyes of the helmet. "You are weak, unresolved, fearful, and dissolute. I have no such monsters within me since I have the strength to control my inner demons, unlike you". Max than put his revolvers away. "I won't even waste a bullet on a unworthy life such as yours. You aren't worth the cost of it. Let the Mojave do its work for me."
Before Max left, he said to Jason, [Speech ?] "I'll see you at Fremont, Jason. There, me and Julie shall have a nice chat." Max than began to leave. Going straight for Novac.

Max quietly strided down the road toward boulder city. He had enough coyote tobacco chew to keep him awake enough to not collapse in the middle of the road. After a while, he thought about making contact with the frumentarii at the mormon fort and getting information and maybe a passport to enter the strip. The Omertas might be able to get Max to the fort without NCR noticing Legion movements.
Max was stuck deep in thought. Maybe provoking the follower Jason to repent would be the better way. Maybe putting Julie to the sword would be the better way. Do what Lanius did. Put her to the edge of his gladius. Such abominations do not deserve happiness. Max pulled out his gladius as he walked. It reflected the moon off the side. It tasted much blood. Maybe it is time for it to taste more. The scorpion's tail.
After a couple hours of walking, Max made it to Boulder city. Max resented this wretched sight. A memorial to the vermin of NCR that hold a monument to his fallen brothers. It would be better to just kill every last NCR soldier here and keep going. Truly make this town into a ghost town of sacrificed NCR. Yet Max wouldn't. Why shed unnecessary blood. Max looked up and seen the position of the moon. "Almost morning... I'll get at least 2 hours of sleep than keep going".

Max woke up after a couple of hours. He learned to cope with the hard sleeping and bad conditions. Max got up and dusted himself off. He had to reach the mormon fort and make contact with the legionaire there by dusk of the next day. Max grabbed his fifle and flung it around his shoulder. It was a trustworthy rifle but old and it began to have problems. Maybe it was time for a upgrade. Max thought as he might be able to pick up a sniper rifle at the gun runners. The rifles shared the same ammo so munitions shouldn't be an issue.
Max thought for a moment. Should he just cross the old world wall and approach the Legate's camp. A Praetorian in his presence. Forever loyal to his brothers but still a follower of Joshua. After some thought, Max decided going through such a NCR dense checkpoint was too much of a gamble. Max remembered his skill as a Frumentarii. He and his Twisted hairs brother were quite capable. Long treks and independent survival for weeks on end. Though Max didn't care for the old world wall. He saw it, but saw it as a bridge, not as a source of energy. Not as a source of bloodshed.
Max than began to walk forward toward the 188. He might be able to get some food there and continue his trek north to Fremont. As he got there, the flag of the two headed bear flapped in the wind. Another small settlement, claimed by the bear. The two headed bear. Two separate heads going in opposite directions, but ultimately going nowhere. Max walked over to the 188 slop and shop and got himself a freshly made Gecko steak with a sunset sarsparilla. After he finished, he made his way down to a child sitting by himself. Had strange headgear on.
"What's your name, child?" the child looked up and stared for a moment. Everything was silent. Than his eyes began to seem lifeless and he began to speak, as if it wasn't even him. As if he was possessed by a demon. "A scorpion skulks in the presence of the Bull's shadow. Though loyal, cares little for it. Seeks out a greater truth, of a greater force that created everything he needs. His brothers seem to leave the scorpion by himself but a scorpion is weak when by himself. Questions right from wrong. But loyalty weighs down the scale. But which side of the scale weighs heaviest? Forecast: Loyalties and morals will be tempered by history through blood".
Max paled behind his helmet when he heard the child say all that. Such innocence yet such a understanding of morals and pain. Ordeals of blood and pain yet almost no true understanding of suffering. "You speak wisdom, but it falls upon deaf ears, child. The scorpion has no nead to fear the bull or the bear. Too big to notice the scorpion, to little to hurt the bull or bear." Max gave the child a hundred caps and left for the Fremont entrance. Truly thinking back to what the child said.

The day was already late. The sun began to set. Max approached the Gun Runners shack. The robot forever stick inside to work as a vendor. Max looked at the wall and saw the weapons there. All powerful in their own right. But Max needed something with more kick and something with more reliability.
After looking through all the options, Max decided to purchase a trail carbine and purchase an attachable scope for it. Max than sold his hunting rifle, hunting revolver, and all his hunting rifle ammunition. His twin Sequioas and his new rifle both share the same ammo, .45-70 rounds. Strong enough to kill anyone within 100 feet, loud enough to scare anyone 300 feet away. Caesar frowned upon dependency on powder and primer but Max had a strong liking for it. Especially since all his bullets are hand made.
After putting his newly acquired rifle together and loading it, Max took a few shots for good measure. The shots rang throughout the streets and the rubble. Max felt the kick of his rifle. Much stronger than his sniper rifle. More accurate. A deadlier rifle altogether. Max than decided it was time to get into the fort. It would be soon.

Max walked to the East gate of Freeside. A large makeshift gate that screeched upon opening. Slightly shaking the cracked asphalt in the process. As Max entered, he saw only junkies, thugs and dealers roam the streets. Max was tempted of showing the teachings of Vulpes Inculta to the scum that plagued Fremont. Max still remembered what Vulpes taught him. "Do whatever Caesar tells you to do. And whenever the opportunity presents, strike at the Profligates. Pile body upon body." Lessons meant something to Max. To simply remember the why of things. For the sake of history.
Max began to walk down the street, passing a small store called Mick & Ralphs. It would be better to not stop in. Not to draw attention. He needed to talk to the Frumentarii agent within the walls. Broc and Xander are harder to come by when walking in a city. Max than realized he stuck out in his ranger armor. Max stopped and thought about returning to the store and buying different clothes. Max than realized he had a bounty hunter outfit that went with his current outfit. Made him look more like a contract killer straight out of Aredash.
Max began to walk to a nearby alley when he noticed a figure waving for him to come. A dark alley secluded from the open, it was late evening and there was a strange person waving for him to come. This had ambush written all over it. Walking into the alley, he noticed two more figures around the corner. Max walked over to the dumpsters where the person waving to him was at. "See the body there between the dumpsters?" The person had a sly tone in his voice. Max reaching for his revolvers looked at the bandit and said, "Yeah, it's about to be you." 3 shots were fired. A couple of minutes later, Max walked out in his bounty hunter attire. No helmet and no Desert ranger insignia. The fort was within reach.
