Reilly's Rangers

Reilly's Rangers is a mercenary group operating out of the Ranger Compound in Seward Square, deep within the ruins of Washington, D.C..

History
The Rangers were founded by Reilly in 2273. She originally procured a lucrative contract from an anonymous "Mr. Smith" for the eradication of super mutants in the DC ruins. Eventually, Reilly proposed to him a mapping project, focusing on terrain and structure mapping for the District of Columbia urban sections. Make notes of enemy resistance, weapons caches, strategic positions, retreat points, etc. The employer accepted the proposal and thus began a massive mapping exercise of the Capital Wasteland, easier to do than hunting down super mutants in the ruins.

However, the contract, as lucrative as it may be, still requires Rangers to expose themselves to danger. As such, sometime before the disastrous expedition to Vernon Square, Reilly lost two of her squadmates, Dallas and Kira. She hired Theo on probation to fill in the vacancies.

The Rangers deployed in full force to Vernon Square, to map the area for the employer and retrieve any usable equipment. The area also doubled as a potential source of medical supplies and knowledge for Butcher and a prime location for a radio transmitter (on top of the Statesman Hotel). It was also an occasion to give Theo a taste of his first real combat.

The first real deployment after this change in roster, to Vernon Square, proved disastrous: the Rangers were overwhelmed by mutants, pushed into the Our Lady of Hope Hospital and then the Statesman Hotel, only to end up besieged at the roof. Reilly managed to slip out, in order to find help, but she was forced to fight a running battle against the mutants. Heavily wounded, she managed to make her way to the Underworld, where she remains in a coma, with Barrows unwilling to wake her up, first to allow her body to heal and second because of the potential for damage to her brain.

Organization
Reilly's Rangers are a small unit. Reilly is the leader of the team, while the others are essentially contractors, working in exchange for commission for each completed deployment.

Active members

 * Reilly (leader)
 * Butcher (medic) - offers free healing at the Ranger Compound.
 * Donovan (tech) - repairs equipment at reduced prices at the Ranger Compound.
 * Brick (heavy weapons specialist)

Inactive members

 * Theo (quartermaster, deceased)
 * Dallas (deceased)
 * Kira (deceased)

Relations with the outside
The Rangers are a mercenary group, working for the highest bidder. However, Reilly also reserves the right to reject an assignment on moral grounds, differentiating themselves from Talon Company.

They occasionally pass through Underworld, but don't have any closer relations with the ghouls.

Technology
The Rangers are a small, but well equipped group. They use a military version of first generation combat armor stenciled with their insignia. In combat, they mostly rely on small arms, but their heavy weapons specialist takes pride in the Minigun. They rely on their feet when travelling and don't seem to have access to vehicles.
