Madeline Tries to Escape from the Powder Gangers

Madeline learned to live on the base for some time. Days turn into weeks, weeks into maybe even months. And while she certainly checked the perimeter for weaknesses she was never allowed to fully roam off the property--despite her abilities.

The monotony of the camp life was broken only by Eddie's demands, an ever present issue. He seemed to be insatiable, but Madeline ensured that she was always ready and willing. Even when she felt bad she would put on a good show to avoid becoming a victims of a train of guards and eager Powder Gangers to have their turn with her. She had to please Eddie--and so she did.

One day, however, was different--she was milling about the camp seeing what supplies she could scavenge to stockpile her "escape stash" when a giant explosion erupted the calm atmosphere of the NCR Correction Facility. The sound was devastatingly loud and she could feel the shockwave against her skin--even from a distance.

The perimeter fence was blown apart and a stream of what looked like NCR troops began to flood into the compound. This was Madeline's moment.

She grabbed her hidden stash of goods while the guards were running around firing ineffectively at the NCR troops. She managed to slip out of one of the now unguarded gates and fled, like many others.
