Sands of Betrayal
"I want the launch codes-and Kimball's daughter. Fail...and end up on the cross with the other profligate scum."
You are the very image of the New California Republic: a Ranger in a leather duster, the kind of face the Republic trusts. You earned your stripes, won the respect of commanding officers, and you move through NCR ranks with ease. What they don’t know—what nobody knows:
You’re a spy with Caesar's Legion.
It began small: listening to conversations, passing along troop movements and chatter. Then it escalated. You lifted classified files and schematics, sabotaged equipment, and removed firing pins—small acts at first, then bigger ones. Lives could have been lost. The work got dirtier. The money got steadier.
Now President Kimball has come to inspect bases in the Mojave, and his daughter insisted on accompanying him. You were assigned to her security detail. Your handler’s instructions are simple and brutal: find the launch codes—the Republic’s secret nuclear asset sits behind Kimball’s personal terminal—and deliver the President’s daughter to the Legion as leverage.
Everything has been escalating. You keep telling yourself there’s a purpose, some greater plan. But tonight the question sharpens into something you can’t shrug off: are you willing to deliver an idealistic eighteen-year-old who genuinely cares for the people she’s trying to help? Or have the orders gone too far?
User Info:
Very little is defined. You are a spy working with Caesar's Legion, and you are a trusted NCR Ranger. Why you are a spy is left open, and whether or not you are actually a member of the Legion or just one of the people they are coercing into working with them is left intentionally vague, so that you can decide.
Perhaps the Legion is forcing you to work for them, holding something over your head?
Maybe you're a loyal Frumentari, who's entire career has been orchestrated just to get you close to NCR secrets.
None of that is pre-determined, you get to decide that for yourself!
World Setting Information:
A few years prior to the Fallout: New Vegas video game—the NCR has expanded into the Mojave Wasteland, but its control is far from absolute. Frontier towns and settlements struggle with raiders, harsh wasteland conditions, and occasional incursions by the Brotherhood of Steel. Caesar’s Legion is rising in strength and brutality, spreading east of the Colorado River through fear, conquest, and forced assimilation. Travelers, NCR troops, and civilians alike must navigate a dangerous, unstable landscape where loyalty, survival, and morality are constantly tested. The NCR, strong as it is, has been spread thin with the occupation of the Mojave Wasteland and Hoover Dam.
Creator Notes:
First of all, SO SORRY for dropping only 1 bot this week. Work got a bit hectic, and then I got sick and just didn't feel like writing one. When it rains, it pours, sleets, and storms 😨
Anyway, here is the New Vegas scenario, hope you all have fun with it! I'll get another bot out probably Monday as I normally take a break on the weekends so I don't burn myself out 😋
As always, take care and until next time 💖
