Madeline decided they should go due North and avoid the long way.

"We need to get to Vegas." Madeline cut Ringo off "And Sunny is good with these parts. Besides--who knows how long it would take on this 'Long 15' Ringo? You gotta get back to your Crimson Caravan and I need to get to Vegas to find that Vaul--" Madeline checked herself.

"Vault?" Her two companions answered almost in unison.

"You trying to find a Vault? What for?" Ringo asked.

The cat was out of the bag but Madeline felt close to these companions. After all they had risked life and limb together and she needed to talk.

"I am looking for an Electromagnetic Motion Refiner Array--or EMRA."

"Oh some Vault tec stuff huh?" Ringo said. "Can't say I have seen one in my travels but Vegas does have a vault--and they might have tec there."

"You must be from a vault." Sunny said smiling "You are too clean. Too smart just be a tribal or some NCR city slicker."

"Is it that obvious?" Madeline asked

"Only if you look real hard." Sunny smiled and Ringo laughed.

"If you need to get to Vegas--it must be in a hurry. So going the short way should prove best." Sunny insisted.

"Alright--but you better not go and drop us in some fucking Deathclaw nest Sunny." Ringo cursed as he pulled his pack's straps a little tighter for the road ahead.
