History WMG / FalloutnewVegas

*** Seriously though, who would want to spare Lanius? The temptation to KickTheSonOfABitch would be overwhelming for anyone NOT inclined to side with Legion.

At some point she left or was forced out of Vault 101 and got a job as a Courier down the line. One day, she was tasked to deliver a Platinum Chip...

** I killed house after I met him and then left the Luck 38 forever mainly because I was bored and thought he was a dick. That probably makes me more of an anti-christ than Caesar.
** Actually, if it can corelate to it the bible, or history whatsoever, and assuming you're using independent Vegas, (Which it probably can,) Caesar's legion is the god honest roman empire (And the courier can ideally play Brutus,) House and the Lucky 38 are Babel tower (Where you play whomever it was who brought other languages,) The NCR is colonization era europe (America is the courier?) and there are probably more as it goes.

[[WMG: The courier IS the lone wanderer]]
It's simple. After the events of Fallout 3, he (or she) decided that they didn't want to be tied down to the East coast and wanted to explore the country. Cue to two years in the future, in which an informant (possibly from any of the factions) wants them to take a courier job. After a while of bargaining, they decide to take the job. However, a group from a different faction attack the Wanderer and steal his equipment.) The wanderer finds a few pieces of equipment but is shot by Benny before he can finish the quest.

He's selling his achievements short by telling himself that he's a travelling doctor. And you, after you got the Pip-Boy, you can survive far more than what Benny did to your head. And how Doc Mitchell can manage a full reconstructive surgery without scars, apparently in a boarded-up shack, on his own.

In addition to the reasons he gives you. The only people who know Oliver's fate should the player kill him are House, the player, and any companions the player has (all of whom are either unsympathetic to NCR or unlikely to talk). It's unlikely House would publicize his role in Oliver's death- what would he gain from that? As far as anyone in NCR is concerned, Oliver and his men simply disappeared during the battle, their bodies never recovered. Some people might suspect House but still reeling from losing the Mojave no one will care too much about it.
