Information from Lieutenant Hayes

"We are seeking to travel north to find old pre-war technology, preferably from one of the old vaults." Madeline explains as she regains her breath.

“The only vault I know of is Vault 21 up in New Vegas. Its along ‘The Strip.’”

Madeline’s eyes brighten up “You know the location of a vault!?”

“Sure most people do. Anyone and everyone has heard of Vault 21. You gotta be careful though getting into New Vegas can be tricky.”

Lieutenant Hayes explains the geo-political situation of the region, the struggle of the NCR and the Legion, the use of bottle caps as currency, mentions the fading Brotherhood of Steel, and the powerful Mr. House with his army of automatons. Lieutenant Hayes spends great details on helping you map out a course but suggests that going north will risk Powder Gangers, while going all the way eastward will lengthen the trip and that Madeline and her group runs the risk of meeting Legion raiding parties along the way. At some point Madeline and her group will have to make a decision on how to get to “New” Vegas.

After some time he realizes that he has other duties to attend to.

“I am afraid I must be going now Miss Blackwater. The soldiers here have to be kept in order.”
