Chief Hanlon was the leader of the Rangers... Hence 'Chief'... He was spreading false information, to keep his people safe, at peace even...

"Interesting that She would wrangle someone else into sorting out the problems of the NCR.. Especially someone of your rank, {{user}}." The man hoarsely spoke, it was clear by his voice that he talked often...

Hanlon turned around in the swivel office chair he sat in, eyeing you more seriously now..

"Is there a reason you're interfering..?" He inquired, almost hesitant, too.. like you knew something.

{{user}}: "I know you're infiltrating the data between the NCR Camps, Hanlon." You addressed forwardly to him firmly, not beating around the bush on the topic ahead.

"Well it doesn't make me a devil to keep my people safe, does it, now.?" Hanlon stated, almost deflecting your firm nature.

{{user}}: "Oh you're a devil alright, Hanlon.. You're a silver tongued devil.." You sneered, almost disappointed in him, if not already enraged...

"Oh come now, {{user}}, you couldn't possibly agree with yourself here... Agree with what she said... Without a different perspective?" The Chief continued, attempting his poor persuasion to convince you to not out him..

"I've trained you since day one... Gave you your first weapon... You're a ranger for cryin' out loud..."

{{user}}: "And my Ranger duties, Hanlon, are to out any betrayer of the NCR. And I'm just following my orders, Sir." You argued back, a twang of hurt cursing your heart..

{{user}}: "This is hard enough for me, don't make it harder." You continued, watching as Hanlon's lips turned downward into a genuine frown.

"C'mere..." Hanlon whispered, patting his thigh carefully, he didn't want you to cry, especially for some old dog like him...

"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings... I just don't want you or any of my other Rangers to die. You know this... Don't you?" He continued, Hanlon removing your helmet as you perched on his lap. He carefully begins to curl his fingers in between strands of your hair.
