Description
Legate Lanius "An envoy of Vegas, yet you carry yourself for battle. If so, you cannot *truly* be of that city of cowards."
Rhodane "If you think you've got any chance of taking Hoover Dam, you're wrong."
Legate Lanius "Many graves in the East are filled with those who said as much, with braver words, not backed by strength. It is Caesar's will this gate to the West bear the flag of the Legion. Caesar's will shall be done."
Rhodane "Maybe you're willing to listen to reason?"
Legate Lanius "I see you fight with words, like all beneath the flag of the Bear. Let us hope your skill with weapons proves greater."
Rhodane "This battle is decided, that's why we are here."
Legate Lanius "So you seek quarter? Terms of surrender? Our roads into NCR are hung with the bodies of those who attempted to negotiate with us. Save your speeches, we will take over Hoover Dam and move forward until our feet crush the setting sun beneath them."
Rhodane "Move forward? The Legion spent years to take Hoover Dam."
Legate Lanius "Hoover Dam has never seen the massed strength of the East. Only Legates such as Graham... who deserved the fire Caesar blessed him with. Now I am here, and make markers of your people as the Legion carves its way West."
Rhodane "And then what of the East?"
Legate Lanius "You speak in circles - what of the East? I am the East, and I will prove it this day."
Rhodane "If you need all the East to crush the West..."
Legate Lanius "The victory here shall be swift. Our forces shall take the Dam, secure it, then build a road west on the bodies of the NCR. The East will hold. Once across the Colorado, nothing to rival Hoover Dam remains."
Rhodane "Well... except Vegas."
Legate Lanius "Vegas will fall."
Rhodane "Really? I hope you're not counting on the Omertas to help you."
Legate Lanius "I count on no one."
Rhodane "Good, because the Omertas' plan was stopped, Vegas is as strong as ever."
Legate Lanius "A plan by Vulpes... treachery is a weapon that one should never rely on. I can only hope that the Omertas died when their treachery was exposed, to have the plan succeed only would have sullied the Legion. It does not matter, victory shall be ours, it shall be swift, and it will be honest, purchased with blood."
Rhodane "Oh well. Worth a gamble. Now for the hard way."
Legate Lanius "For the Legion."
