Fallout New Vegas - Race To The Bottom (A Fallout New Vegas Mini DLC)
Joseph Bozlinski for Jack Hawthorne - Brahmin Baron
Jack Hawthorne is a rich and powerful brahmin baron of the NCR who has a lot of influence in the region. He works with farmers in the New Vegas area, selling their produce in his daughter's store in the Freeside Co-op acting as the middleman between produce and customer. His daughter was recently murdered by anti-NCR rebels and is very angry at the people of New Vegas who he deems responsible and/or ambivalent to the act. The player will meet Jack if they killed Hosea and The Vultures, the perpetrators of this crime. Jack is old but he should not sound weak or frail.
Player - "How did you and your men get weapons past the guards?"
Jack - "I made a deal with these White Glove freaks. I own one of the biggest cattle ranches back west. So does Gunderson...I reminded them that centralising your source of meat when your main delicacy is Brahmin Wellington would not be the brightest idea...Who knows, we may be able to make a deal in the future if the terms are right.
Player - "What will happen to the Freeside Co-op now?"
Jack - "It'll be shut down for now while we make the funeral arrangements for Ella. We'll bring her back to the Republic...Her mother deserves to see her daughter one last time. I don't want my little girl to remain in this hellhole one minute longer...As for Vegas, I have a right mind to up my share of the take. Make these bastards pay for the funeral...You offer your hand to help and they'd rather side with Raiders. Coleridge said the locals were unwilling to help in finding Hosea."
Player - "Who is Coleridge?"
Jack - "You wouldn't know him. He's one of those spineless bureaucrats in the senate who couldn't organise an orgy in a fucking brothel...When my caravans were first attacked by those raider fucks, I politely asked Coleridge to solve the problem...When his incompetence got my daughter butchered, I told him the truth of the situation...I mentioned that my donations to his reelection campaign might somehow find their way in the pot of his opponent...And thus, the caps were found for a contractor."
