The bespectacled man held up his hands as if Gillem didn't need to worry.

"Obviously I cannot bring New California with me, at least not in the very literal sense of the word."

He pulled three pictures from his coat and placed them carefully on the desk, carefully arranged and turned to Gillem.

"I have here. Photographs of some of our cities. To showcase just how we turned a desert town into a thriving metropolis in three generations."

The images looked like they were from before the war, but the photographs clearly weren't old enough for that to be the case. If one was interested in decent city-planning in the most apocalypse they were most certainly interesting. If these images were legit then the NCR really was quite a powerful entity to be dealing with, even if it was thousands of miles away. Usually people Ito did business with were at the very least amazed by the photos. It was the old American art of advertising: Selling people things they never knew they desired and seeing Shady Sands usually appealed to those who lived their whole lives in shanty towns and destitute. The promise of prosperity that came along wherever the NCR went was a strong one indeed.

"Imagine what we could accomplish if we work together.... Mister Gillam I am not trying to rob you OR those you do business with, that is your prerogative. We are not some shortsighted lowlife raider gang, we treat our partners, associates and allies fairly."

"You came all this way, into this harsh land in search of adventure. Why not go on another adventure... With us... The New Californian Republic?"
