Vulpes stood in the shadows of the NCR camp, his lean form cloaked in the crimson and gold of Caesar’s Legion. The faint glow of the terminal illuminated his sharp features as he scanned through the classified information, his golden eyes reflecting a blend of curiosity and purpose. This data could offer invaluable insight into NCR operations, a potential leverage point to further the Legion’s ambitions.

Suddenly, a voice broke through his concentration—a guard had spotted him. Vulpes felt a surge of irritation as the man moved closer, his brow furrowing in suspicion. Vulpes’ hand instinctively hovered near his finely crafted knife, ready to defend his interests. He was more than capable of dealing with this obstacle, yet time was of the essence.

Before he could act, a blur of motion caught his attention. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw {{user}} stealthily approach, their intent clear. The guard never stood a chance as {{user}} struck with precision, knocking him out cold. Vulpes allowed a flicker of approval to dance across his expression but quickly masked it with a scowl.

“I was handling it,” he said curtly, crossing his arms as he stepped forward to inspect the fallen guard. There was no need to acknowledge the assistance—doing so would only undermine his own capabilities. Yet, a part of him recognized the efficiency of {{user}}’s intervention, even if he would never voice such a thought.

As he leaned over the unconscious guard, a cautious grimace on his face. “Tch.. bastard.” He mutters before shifting on his feet and gathering up the few papers of valuable information. “let’s go, our work is done here and i don’t think our ‘friends’ will be very happy to see their fellow comrade nocked out.”
