Steel Waste Chapter 615
Advertisement
Afton looks through the Vertibird door at the adjacent vehicle flying next to him. Miles was currently piloting the newly created 'Dirt-Wing' with his girlfriend Melissa, they were carrying Afton, Veronica, and Christine to their drop off point on the Dam while the rest of the army was making their way on foot.
The Vertibird across from them was piloted by the Enclave Remnants, Orion in particular. To be honest, Afton was very surprised to see people wearing 'their' emblem seeking to assist him in attacking the NCR. Needless to say, he'd easily accepted(After checking they weren't spies of anything of the sort).
Of course, Orion's piloting was a bit rusty, partly due to time, and partly due to the fact that piloting was given to Daisy, who of course was now resting in peace. There were three other people in their Vertibird waiting for the action to start.
One who went by the name 'Cannibal Johnson', who, as it turns out wasn't actually a cannibal. Another who Tamia apparently knew named Dr Henry. It was quite fortunate Tamia and him by association had helped out with Jacobstown. Afton got the feeling the man wouldn't be as willing to fight with them if he had no prior history.
Last but certainly not least was Arcade Gannon, that doctor Tamia had picked up and was now running Novac as the mayor... Once the man had spotted the three Remnants in their Vertibird and wearing Power armour, he'd jumped at the chance to retrieve his father's armour to join them.
And yes... Afton was almost drooling over the armour each wore... Arcade's in particular due to its rather flashy modifications, that made it far more effective when used in conjunction with energy weapons. But, he'd ask about analysing it after the battle was over.

There had been another member of the Remnants aside from Daisy of course, but the group hadn't found hide nor hair of the man. Considering the fact they'd managed to find Cannibal Johnson, a man who'd apparently been squatting in a cave waiting to die, Afton thought that it was likely their missing friend was dead.
To be honest, Afton wasn't really sure what to think of these elite, if frail, Enclave soldiers being dropped in his lap. Either someone really wanted the NCR to lose, or his [Protagonist] Perk was finally kicking in.
Soon enough Afton spots the Dam as the fly over a large hill. Thick plumes of black smoke were rising from various points, and he could see the tidal wave of red clashing with the green defenders... It seemed like the NCR wouldn't last much longer if left to their own devices... A route was imminent judging by how pale and scared the Troopers looked.
Afton had made sure to come to the battle late, just to make sure both forces had whittled themselves down sufficiently. He fully intended to force both factions off of the Dam in the end, so letting the two sides tire themselves out would help tremendously in that effort.
A shadow in the sky did draw the group's attention, however, that Bomber Tamia had assisted the Boomers in recovering had apparently been repaired enough for flight... Surprising, but not tremendously so... After all, he had a couple of his own Bombers being constructed, all of which were far more technologically advanced than the scrap-heap that was dropping bombs on the Legion right now.
"Miles, bring us to the floor, it seems like our other friends got here before us." Afton commands, gesturing down at the huge group of Securitrons slowly rolling towards the Dam. He could see Colonel Moore running to intercept them, but luckily no weapons had been discharged yet. "Melissa, man the turret. Do some flyby's to thin the Legion's numbers if it seems like they're about to overrun the place." he states as he hops out of the Vertibird... Which just so happened to still be a few hundred feet over the ground.

*CRAAASH!*
The ground rumbled as the armoured individual hit the ground, causing a couple NCR troopers to stumble or fall over. Colonel Moore held her ground with some assistance from a single salvaged Power armour wearing trooper that'd been assigned to her.
Obviously, she knew who this was, and she knew there'd be no point in trying to antagonize him... Especially since what seemed to be a heavily armed army of Securitrons were headed their way. Either she recruited Afton to the NCR's side, or the Dam would find a new owner...
Afton and the others hop out of their Vertibirds, Orion and Dr Henry staying in their own Vertibird to provide air support alongside Miles and Melissa.
Ignores Colonel Moore for now and instead strides towards the three people leading the Securitrons. "I remember you." he growls in a low tone while taking his helmet off, remembering all the Novac guards these fucking mercenaries had killed during their attack.
Drake spits on the floor in response, walking up to Afton and poking a finger at his breastplate. "And I remember you! You owe me a gun you fuckin' shit!"
Afton scowls, "I owe you a gun huh? Sure, how would you like it? Jammed down your throat, or shoved up your ass?"
"Ha! You think you're tough just because you're wearing that armour? Take it off and I'll show you how a real man fights... I bet that title 'Fastest shot in the Mojave' isn't just for your shooting. Look, there's two thing's you're good at! Disappointing in a fight, and disappointing in be-Guhk!" he's cut off as Afton grabs his throat and lifts him off of the ground with a single arm. He thrashes around for a couple seconds, attempting to dislodge himself, but obviously has no such success.
Madeleine and Hunter draw their weapons in response to the sudden aggression shown by Afton, Drake glances behind him at the Securitrons, hoping they'd help out as well... Only to see none try to intervene... Instead, one of them rolls forwards with its screen flashing to Mr House's face... Seems like the boss had something to say...
