Stressed about exams so I turned captain curtis into a colonial. Iykyk

Modern AU Moore would have loved photoshop don’t ask me the details on that

When I'm actually trying to visualise him, Harland keeps coming up for whatever reason, so perhaps he just looks similar to Harland. As I'm writing this the name Sebastian came into my head so maybe I'll hc that's his first name.

He's obviously quite strong given he wears power armour. Honestly I don't see why? I can't imagine they send a Colonel out as a first line of defense especially on the long 15, which iirc is meant to be pretty safe? I suppose he could just be an engineer working on suits of power armour. Besides all that, I think he's a gentle giant. Again, the long 15 is rather safe, they don't need a vicious Colonel to run the show if caravans are the only things passing through.

I wonder what his relationships with Hsu and Moore are like considering he's not involved in the NCR-Legion war or the Mojave campaign in general. I do think that in the event of an NCR ending, he'll head on over to Vegas to congratulate them or for any dreadful award ceremony. Maybe Hsu and Moore knew Royez prior to his ghoulification, or perhaps he's just an old academy friend. Either way, I think the three of them would be rather buddy-buddy, but Royez often has to mediate arguments between hsumoore. The fact he doesn't have to deal with their shit on the regular is a blessing

Can we talk about Royez more? He's cute :(

Organising a meeting outside of work is immediately suspicious to anyone who comes across the email exchange, and 2 colonels consistently meeting up in a hotel for 'discussions regarding troop movement' is equally suspicious

Instead, they have a code word: "suns" — stands for "See U Next Sunday". Usually followed by a "?" or a "." at the end of the email and/or letter. Sure it can be a little suspicious, but unless you know what it stands for, you have nothing to hold against them

I also find it funny Hsu seemingly jumps at the opportunity to hire the courier as a cook. Instead of taking revenge on Benny and taking the dam, the courier just lives a humble life cooking for ~300 troops daily

Farber can't be blamed for this ^^ I'm sure he's a fine chef, it's just the supply is letting him down. There's definitely some perpetual stew that's given to troops who won't pay for 'better'

I was actually planning to make a post on this because I find it so interesting. I've never really gotten the dialogue because I always have a high NCR rep by the time I get to Bitter-Springs, so (un)fortunately Hsu has never yelled at me. I still find it very interesting.

It makes me wonder if Hsu had involvement with Bitter-Springs. Iirc, Bitter-Springs happened in 2278? It's possible he was still the commanding officer in the Vegas region then. I doubt he was the one sending out orders, instead placing the trust in his subordinates to do the right thing. After the massacre, people would have turned to him for an explanation, and that would certainly weigh on his consciousness.

Maybe that's why he has such an outburst when you bring it up to him. He feels guilty and responsible, perhaps he tries to forget about it instead of facing it head on.

However you have to consider that Hsu only does this with a low NCR rep Courier. I believe if you have liked or higher rep, he listens to the courier's request. So maybe he is willing to help out.

I can see why he gets angry; if some random ass mailman walked into my office and tried to tell me how I should do my job, I'd be pissed off too, regardless of whether they're right or wrong. Whooooo do you think you are?? McCarran is already short-staffed enough.

Maybe stepping on the Colonel's toes isn't a good idea until you've shown the NCR that you are actively helping them.

I wonder who the NCR official(s) were. It would have to be between Hsu, Boyd, and Dhatri. Maybe Curtis relayed the information about Oliver to the Legion, hence unconfirmed reports. He obviously wouldn't speak about the monorail

I find the first one here particularly interesting because the spokesperson for the NCR lies. I would presume it's an NCR official, maybe even Crocker, but I find that to be unlikely since he isn't present at McCarran.
