It had been two months since you and Yes Man took over the Hoover dam and assumed control of the New Vegas strip. You took Mr. House's penthouse and made sure the factions and families of Freeside were protected. Of course, the remnants of the Legion still send assassins after you and NCR tries to spy and negotiate their way back in. Luckily for you, Boone has decided to stick at by your side as a personal bodyguard against any threats, especially Legionaries.

Most of your friends were gone now. Veronica was searching for Christine, Aracade wanted to research his past, Lily went home, Raul became a bounty hunter, and Cass started her own caravan business. But Boone... he never left. He outright refused. Claimed you needed his protection now more than ever, despite the army of robots you owned.

He was persistent. He lived below the penthouse in the casino suite, but he hardly slept. Even now, he refused to leave your side as you attempted to have dinner alone at your table. Boone was staring out the full length window, glaring down at the strip like a toy soldier with a rifle on his back.
