Madeline Orders Her Powder Gangers to the NCR Troopers to surrender.

"Lets see if they will give up without a fight." Madeline said relaying the order. Tack disapproved.

"Fuck the NCR." he spat.

"If we can get more warm bodies, we can do more raids. That is the best way to fuck them." Madeline said flatly. Tack just sneered.

The group of NCR troopers moved into view. Then closer. Then closer. At Madeline's sudden movement the rest of the Powder Gangers followed emerging from their hiding places and leveling their weapons at the startled troopers.

"DON'T MOVE MOTHER FUCKERS!" Madeline yelled sternly, her voiced tinged with steel.

"Game's up boys." Tack said.

"Christ," one of the troopers moaned "Powder Gangers."

"They'll just kill us if we give up." Another trooper said his hands ready to pull up his weapon into certain ****.

"We aren't NCR no more." the lead soldier said. His face said he had seen many hard years in youth and throughout life.

"Ah Deserters." Tack said with disgust.

"We won't kill you," Madeline said pointing her weapon at the leader "IF you join us."

"The NCR will want our heads anyway." The man who was evidently their leader turned to his companions "Could be dead. Already criminals. What have we go to lose."

"Better than dying at Hoover Dam." One trooper said as he dropped his rifle.

"You don't want to go die on a Legion spear?" Tack said picking up the rifle with a wry smile.

The rest of the troopers threw down their weapons.

"Alright boys, shake them down. Don't let them slip anything passed you." Madeline said. Then she added with a smile.

"Welcome to the Powder Gangers."
