The New California Republic of Empire Confederation

Santiago AU
Young Teath across Old Steel
The reformation of the army did a large part on keeping the civilian population from worrying about another Mohave. Though many were concerned about an intervention the chance of their family members getting tossed into it with little notice. With a recovering economy and people more focused on work and the growing consumer economy entering their lives in the urban areas. A Few of the barons that were Friends of the family have been pushing Honeyfield to start expanding again with hunger in their eyes. While a good chunk of the agricultural sector sat in their pocket the famous vice of greed was one Bruce was always surrounded by. The best way was the same way folks like Kimbal got into power. What was the old world saying “Blood must always be fed to the Tree of Liberty” or something like that. Either way two camps formed considering one of the NCR's old ghosts. The unsaid discussion was if ghosts could bleed, or ignored as figments of the past...

Lt.General Moore was standing across a map of california. Scattered marks new and old could be seen on the chart. Brotherhood, Khan, Enclave were all once put on this chart. Now though the marks of the Mohave was added, Helios one and some marks round the nearby mountain about a hidden bunker network. President Honeyfield finally entered the room and addressed her.

“General Moore, good to see you”

“Mr. President, i'm assuming this isn't a social call” her short reply was. She didn't really like Honeyfield. Haivn been bred and raised in the Bishops of New Reno few had an idea of what his goals were. His foreign out of Kimball was the greatest reason why she couldn't see him keeping the republic safe from the likes of the Legion or taking on the new Vegas.

“Straight to business then, I'm moving the 5th Division away from the Colorado river. The The 3rd will be taking your place”

There was a tightening of her fist while he had his back turned grabbing a folder from another table, her quick bite out “And what is the reason your moving your current most experienced commander out of the field?”

Tossing the folder onto the table and spreading the documents, reports of brotherhood scouts in the california region. Approximation of Bos bunkers left in california and old records of missing patrols nearby. “ The republic has fought off in my concern three waves of opponents. First were the raiders that emerged from vault 15 along the founders of Shady Sands. Vipers, Khans, Jackals and their like were killed off and forced into vagrants or corpses. The enclave was fought and died at Navarro, their countless atrocities buried with that camp. The few survivors either hunted down or fled. And finally was the Brotherhood of Steel, our one friend who became scornful and fearful of our growth and lashed out.” Looking up across the table to the general “ What is your opinion of the brotherhood?”

Standing straighter in front of the man “The brotherhood had established themselves as an opponent of the NCR. They've made clear that the both of us can't exist with the other.” Pointing to further points across the map. She went through numerous clashes between the Bear and Steel that were bloody and long. She could name the battalions and commanders of the clashes and the casualties of the battle. The president silently watched her explanation, quietly making notes along a small book along his side. At the end she was quiet as the president finished his notes.

“I moved you off to Colorado as I need your experience elsewhere. Right now Murphy got the support to become enough of a bother to start burying the hatchet with a few of the old ghosts that emerged from the mohave expedition. He wants to make peace with the brotherhood and there might be enough traction to force my hand” was Bruce’s statement.

“Is he an idiot, we can't have an independent power that's as armed as the Bos.” She yielded indignantly. “The minute we turned out back for a minute and they killed our men at Helios and didn't bat an eye at it.”

“Which is why I'm currently treating their chapters independently, Ambassador Crocker in New Vegas has already got the letter from the senate. I'm pulling my weight to spin this to NCR’s benefit.” Moving to poor himself a glass of whisky “The Mohave chapter is well out of our way realistically and is surprising to our benefit. Them sitting there and harrasign the Long 15 is restricting what goods are being sent towards Vegas, along with giving me a chance to turn them away from us. I want the 5th and you to start fining the bunkers still in california while i try and get the senate to turn towards a more appropriate line of reasoning”

“How would this benefit us, when we let an enemy get free?”

Taking a slug of his glass, Honeyfield replied “ Vegas is building up, there clearing out the slums House left on his pristine walls. A university is being set up somewhere, supposedly in one of the towns scattered around. Christ news broke yesterday that the boomers have finally been absorbed and opened up a flight academy to start training pilots. Simply put our dear scribe is putting all the things the brotherhood couldn't accept anyone else having. As soon as they no longer harrasign us they will turn their attention to Vegas and their army of securitrons and get stamped out for good.”

“Even if I ordered an assault on the Mojave chapter today she would rally to their defence. And that is something that would get me kicked out of office. I have already ordered for Crocker to drag New Vegas as an intermediary in talks between us and the Mojave chapter. Chances are a few paladins will get antsy soon with their former member giving out technology to people that could use it. If all goes well the talks get held on the strip with Veronica Santangelo between us. Leaning on her family to make peace and putting herself in their cross hairs. Or stands aside while we bury them in their bunkers.

In a short missive handed to a securitron outside of the Lucky 38.

Dear Miss Veronica Santangelo,

This letter is to inquire of the possibility of the Deseret Pact to act as a third party mediator to future discussion between the New California Republic and the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel. The largest part of this would be the cessation of hostilities between ourselves and the Brotherhood, along with other matters. If you are interested please respond to my office within this month on your dissection.

Respectfully,
Ambassador Dennis Crocker
New California Republic New Vegas Embassy
