“ I like to think that we are Prisoners Of War that managed to escape before capture. I don't know how long it'll be before the Legion crosses the river, but sure as fuck I don't want to be wearing an NCR uniform when they get here. ”

Background Edit

A demoralized soldier of the New California Republic Army, Layla and her three fellow soldiers have thrown away their uniforms and deserted from the front lines of the war with the Legion, to avoid the risk of capture and torture at the hands of Caesar's legionaries. As the Army punishes desertion with death, they are trying to put as many miles between them and the Colorado River as possible. Thus far, they have survived by laying low and dodging patrols.[1]

New Canaan up north is an attractive option to them. However, they lost all of their money gambling in Vegas, so they are forced to come up with creative ways of generating income. Primm sounded ripe for the picking, especially after the convicts were cleared out, but the new law introduced by the Courier is a serious obstacle in their way.[2]

Interactions overview Edit

Quests Edit

A Team of Moronic Mercenaries: She attempts to extort 100 caps from the Courier, but can be negotiated down to 50 caps, be killed or convinced to simply leave and find a better hiding place from both Caesar's Legion and the New California Republic.

Inventory Edit

Notes Edit

Killing her, or her team of thugs, as they flee after resolving peacefully has no gain or loss of Karma, and items in the casino that have changed from owned to unowned will remain lootable without loss of Karma. Their bodies also remain in the casino.

Layla believes she and her crew will be safe upon reaching New Canaan, obviously unaware that New Canaan has been razed to the ground by the White Legs, on the orders of Caesar.
