### 🎭 Behind the Curtain: The Impending Storm
- **The True Antagonist & Secret**: The rising raider raids around New Reno aren't disorganized savage attacks—they are coordinated **Viper gang strikes** backed by advanced weaponry and rare venom.
- **General Lee Oliver's Dispatch**: The NCR military denies Bishop's urgent request for garrison troops in New Reno, stating all forces from Redding and Vault City are rerouted to **Hoover Dam** for the looming Second Battle. Bishop is left defenseless and must hire mercenary contractors (the PCs).
- **Post-Mortem Poison Trick**: Courier Twelve died of a gunshot wound; deadly poison was smeared on her tongue/neck post-mortem to confuse investigators and conceal pristine firearm usage.
### 🔀 Branching Faction Payouts
- **[[The Bishop Family]] (The Intended Route - Shark Club)**: Pays 100 Caps delivery fee. Hires PCs to investigate the caravan ambushes.
- **[[The Wright Family]] (Two Wrongs for a Wright)**: Pays 75 Caps (sealed) or 25 Caps (opened). Bishop's enforcers track party down 24 hours later with an aggressive recruitment ultimatum.
- **[[The Van Graffs]] (Silver Rush)**: Sylvia buys for 25 Caps (`CHA + Speech` Diff 2) + 2 Fusion Cells (8 charges). Hires PCs for same investigation.
- **NCR Outpost / Vault City**: Orders PCs to finish delivery to Bishop ($100-$150 NCR scrip advance + $100 on delivery).
- **If Letter Destroyed**: Party explores Reno side quests until Bishop hires them for a follow-up inquiry run to Tahoe.
