ALERTS

WARNING: NIPTON
A small group of immigrants have moved into the ruins of Nipton and began to rebuild the large abandoned farm and ranch just south of the town. Their population is roughly 75 and they consist of former NCR citizens.

WARNING: STRETCHED FORCES
While there’s no pressing need, more and more Securitrons are deployed to guard travel and trade routes or to isolated towns around the Mojave. Kreger is pushing for the creation of more infantry companies to take over standard patrol duties from the irreplaceable Securitrons. Novac and Genesis are requesting patrol forces as there are a large number of dangerous animals interfering with trade and travel.

WARNING: ZION
Zion is infested and there seems to be no saving it. While the research team has assured you that the spread will slow as it hits inhospitable territory, there is a fear of travelers visiting and spreading the contagion elsewhere. Border crossings are closed but the infestation grows slowly.

WARNING: BUILDING MATERIALS
With the recent boom of investment and the NVD continually funding projects, there is a severe shortage of basic building material across the Mojave. Business leaders are clamoring for subsidies to import from elsewhere or new material to be found and used to sustain growth.

WARNING: BORDER CLOSINGS
The Legion has slowed traffic on their crossings until the Zion scourge is dealt with, but have deployed scouts to ensure no entry to Zion from their territory. The NCR have followed through with their threats and have closed all border traffic. The Families are scrambling to see what you will do to alleviate the situation, while NCR businessmen are reaching out in panic.

WARNING: RMRP SLOWDOWN
Due to trade with the NCR being close to impossible, any further imports now come from the less-industrialized Legion. Certain materials and tools cannot be found in Legion lands leading to a severe slowdown in industrial buildup.

WARNING: MERCENARY CONNECTIONS
Your Secretary of State has made a few unorthodox connections in the last few months. A list of available mercenary contracts are available on the pastebin.

WARNING: CRIME
There has been a small uptick in crime across the entirety of the region due to the reinvestment and increased migration from the NCR and elsewhere. Especially in urban areas, punishments range from corporal punishment, indentured servitude, banishment and often, death. This becomes an issue when NCR tourists are the subject of punishment. Members of the council are pushing for not only a comprehensive legal system but also for jails and prisons for worse offenders. There’s also the question of what to do with the Salvatore prisoners.
