Courier Six walked lazily up the bank, to the gates of the fort. She arched her head to look at the sky, keen on hearing Caesar's side of things, as she was not very impressed by what the NCR had to offer thus far. As she started into the fort a man stopped her and asked her to surrender he weapons. Nodding with understanding she surrendered her guns and chems, keeping a hold out knife for herself. Watching as the man reached down to open the footlocker he'd store them in; she jumped back as spring coil snakes jumped out of the box and surprised everyone around her.

"Pranksters…" the Legionary cursed as the men around him giggled. The courier said nothing, just raised her eyebrow and continued on her way.

Walking up the hill to the center of the fort, the courier passed a legionary talking to a merchant about how someone had printed a two headed bear wearing party hats on some money. Much to the Courier's surprise the merchant started laughing.

Finally reaching the tent, the guard snickered and told the Courier she'd have to go in alone. Telling her companion and dog to wait outside, she pealed back the flap and entered the tent. Expecting to see Caesar waiting for her inside, the Courier approached the red draped throne with trepidation. She looked around slowly at the empty tent, the shock of being alone for the first times sense Cottonwood Cove settling over her.

"Hello," she called out. No one responded.

Turning to check with the guard outside, the courier screamed and hopped on one foot as Caesar and several Praetorians jumped out and yelled "Boo!"

After she stopped carrying on, Caesar laughed and sat at his throne, "Told you that would get her."

"Wha…where's Benny," the Courier asked, his life being the only thing she could think to talk about.

"Him? Oh he's dead." Caesar then pointed over a tent flap that was pulled aside, revealing Benny lying on the floor stiffly. Horrified, the Courier walked over to kneel next to him, looking for a sign of how he died.

"You robbed me of my revenge," she said to Caesar, turning to look at him. That's when the Courier felt a hand on her lap, and looked over to see Benny smiling at her. She screamed again, jumped up and spun around in a circle.

Once she'd finally calmed down she looked at Caesar, wiggling her finger in the air, and announced, "Fuck you, at least Robert House doesn't have a sense of humor," and stormed out of the tent.

"Jokes on her," Caesar said coyly, "I'm having Cursor Lucullus take her back in that boat that fills half up with water when you use it. He's going to make her bail to keep them afloat all the way to Cottonwood Cove before he tells her the truth."
