What are you doing here?

A question one could have asked you not long ago, before walking the road West into the storms.

Need to be here, see what was done. It's custom of the Bear to never see the marks it claws in the land... not {emph}my custom.

Maybe that's why you've come, too - need to see where the missile from Ashton touched ground down below, in Hopeville... the Courier's Mile.

The Long 15 is no more. The main supply line into NCR is cut.

No damage done, not yet. Maybe in years. Keeps the Bear fenced... if Caesar can't drive it back, fire might.

But the White Legs... they couldn't live on their own, like most scavengers. So gave them purpose - turned their hunger into a weapon.

The wall of New {CANE-in}Canaan... too high for Caesar. Too proud, maybe - {quiet}or maybe something there, from his past, that needed killing. Memory of Graham.

They called these new weapons "storm drums" in the firing of shells. Taught them the power in the casings... to channel the spirits in their guns.

Me... they called me the Flag-Bearer. Glory in my hand, in my staff that still bore the weight of the Old World just as the symbol on my back did.

Mongrels there, two-legs and four. Saw the walls of New Canaan the scavengers circled... hadn't the strength or fire to take. Too high, too strong.

White Legs, they were born for war, they run to it, hungry for battle... yet their hunger is to be a part of history, something larger.
