Madeline returns to her companions.

Madeline quickly returns to her companions who await anxiously.

"How'd it go?" Captain Ward inquires, eyeing her up and down.

"Did you get the information?" Doctor Giles ungraciously asks.

"Don't worry I got the information" Madeline addresses Captain Ward.

"Do I want to know how you go it?" Ward's lip tightens.

"Don't worry I behaved." Madeline smiles.

Madeline gathers around her companions and relays the political and geographic situations to them. She takes her time to explain some cultural norms of the people the use of caps as currency, the various players in the region. And more importantly the location of Vault 21. Captain Ward is sure to put such information in his Pipboy--the only one of the group.

"Well it seems like we have to make a choice" Ward ponders "To get to Vegas---or New Vegas or whatever the hell its called now. We could go north and possibly face these bandit characters. Or we could go back south and east, then cut north. But that's a long stretch of land. And evidently there is this other rival faction out there. You talked to the officer in there--what do you suggest Madeline?"

Doctor Giles nearly scoffs with the idea of Madeline being asked for expedition advice.

Madeline has to decide if going north, probably the fastest route--but also one beset by these Powder Gangers is best. OR If going south east then cutting north--risking the feared Legion is best.
