(Nico is walking around in his wasteland armor until he finds some soldiers in power armor fighting a clan of super mutants)
(Nico takes his arm guard and puts it over his pip boy, so he can conceal it)
Morril: You got a death wish walking through a war zone like this?
Nico: I'm no stranger to war
Morril: Listen, local. If you want to be of use to us, help us clear the mutants between here and our camp. If not, stay the hell out of our way
Nico: On your left
(Morril looks over his left shoulder, and shoots a super mutant with his minigun)
Morril: Thanks
(Nico pulls out his assault rifle and starts fighting the super mutants alongside the outcasts)
(The group goes into some demolished buildings and gets into a huge gunfight with the super mutants)
(Both sides are exchanging bullets and beams for a while before enough bodies hit the floor to bring the battle to an end, resulting in an outcast victory)
Morril: Alright, mind explaining what you're doing here?
Nico: I heard your radio signal, and I tried to find it's source
Morril: How the hell did you hear my signal? It isn't broadcasted on a standard frequency
Nico: I have a radio that picks up all kinds of frequencies
Morril: And where'd you learn to shoot like that?
Nico: I just picked up a gun and taught myself
Morril: Wow. Listen kid, you might be able to help us out. We've been looking for someone like you. Head inside and talk to McGraw. I'll radio inside and let him know you're coming
(Nico heads into the outcasts base and takes the elevator down to the lower levels. A man named Sibley is there waiting. He sees Nico and becomes very alert)
Sibley: Who the hell are you, and what do you think you're doing?
Nico: Morril sent me down here. Mind if I talk to whoever's in charge?
Sibley: Matter of fact, I do mind. I mind enough to put a few rounds into ya
Nico: I can put one into you before you can even draw
(Sibley aims his rifle at Nico)
Sibley: Gotcha!
Nico: Look down
(Sibley looks down to see Nico's pistol pointed at a weak spot in his power armor)
Sibley: Hmph. Not bad. You know what? Fine. You and me, we're going to see the boss. He can decide what to do with you
(Sibley leads Nico to a room where they find McGraw inside)
Sibley: McGraw. Got another local here interested in joining the force
McGraw: Thank you, defender. Give us a moment please
Sibley: Sir, I still say I don't like the idea of recruiting randoms
McGraw: Noted, defender. That will be all
(Sibley leaves McGraw in the room alone with Nico)
McGraw: Look, wastelander. I'm not sure what brings you here, but we don't like surprise visits from the local populace. You're lucky you weren't killed. But there may be more to you than the average rubble dweller from what I heard about that battle outside
