The NCR Representatives took the surprise of flying just as all as the two secretaries did but between your honeyed words and the prospect of doing something very few in the wasteland have, it was an easy sell. Daisy was over the moon about flying again but you did warn her to take it slow and take it easy.
After a few minutes in the air, Yen leans over to you. Instead of shouting over the noise of the rotors, the two of you put on headsets that are hanging on hooks in the fuselage.
Yen: A working Vertibird is a rare thing in the wasteland. The NCR only has a small fleet of them numbering 8 to 10 on a good day. Where did you find yours?
Ah. There it is.
[Nellis Air Base. Most were in severe disrepair but we cobbled this one together from multiple others. The pilot comes from the same place, having trained in these impressive VR training pods.]
She gives you a look of doubt but doesn’t pursue further.
Yen: You know, one of the parties I represent can build these. It’s admittedly an expensive and long process but they’re the only ones I know of in the Wasteland who possess this capability. Perhaps that’s something you’d be interested in.
You prepare to respond when Daisy’s voice comes over the intercom.
Daisy: Alright everyone, if you look to your left you’ll see King Street. It’s the main thoroughfare to the gates of New Vegas.
You lean out and peek through the porthole window. Months ago the broad, multi-lane avenue was filled with rubble and burned out vehicles. Scrap houses used to line the street and vendors selling anything and everything to passing travelers.
Now, the streets are clean of human refuse and the shack towns moved to other areas in Freeside. Where there were ramshackle bazaars and raw meat being sold on tarps have been replaced with storefronts and organized market squares.
The businesses interests lean on and speak to each other while you marvel at how clean this area of Freeside is. Of course if you walk a few blocks in each direction the reality would be much different….
The next stop is Hoover Dam. The Vertibird lands on the same helipad that NCR President Kimball had months ago when you saved his life from multiple assassination attempts, including a bomb under the landing pad.
The group walks along the edge of the dam while a lead engineer discusses the specifics of power production and future potential for capacity.
Lundstrom breaks apart from the tour and floats over to you.
