he/she turned his/her back on his/her home for the second time and made his/her way back, navigating the treachery of the Divide. Interpretation is something best left to history, and only the surviving Courier would ever know for certain.Īs for the Courier. though whether done as a sign of respect, or in anger for what had been endured to reach this moment - that is unknown. The Courier tore the ancient flag of the Commonwealth from its cables, and cast it over the corpse.
The Courier had been the end of his road.Īt the end of the struggle, only one Courier remained in the heart of the Divide. He remained there, perhaps as punishment for the scars he left on the wastes - or a reminder of a history he could not forget. It is said a man still walked its streets, with a tattered jacket, an Old World flag etched on the back. Hopeville burned lightless in the night, invisible fires of radiation scorching it from within and without. Not long after the Courier left the facility, the eyebot's data banks were wiped, and it was disassembled as rapidly as it had been constructed. The robot's last coded transmission back to his counterpart in the Mojave told of upgrades, unlocked memories. For now, the courier knew ED-E's history and could carry it, even if the eyebot had forgotten.ĮD-E, the version given life by the machines of the Divide, remained frozen in the military installation where Ulysses had summoned him. always, that ED-E's journey would continue, perhaps carried by another eyebot in the Mojave.the one from which the ED-E from the Divide had been shaped. Release ED-E from stasis and sacrifice him to stop the missiles from launching.Īs his last gesture, he sent one last signal to his counterpart in the Mojave, passing along what the Courier had taught him in the Divide. It was the fragment that held the Old World memories and the words of his creator in his last moments. When ED-E's circuits burned in the fires of the Divide, there was one small part that held on until the end. And no matter what, he knew there would be a second home to return to, Navarro or not - and that his creator would be proud. With that last farewell, he set off, carrying the song of Old World hope with him, which had given him Strength and purpose on his journey. Release ED-E from stasis and launch the missiles.īefore leaving, he sent a coded signal to his original in the Mojave, passing along what the Courier had taught him in the Divide. It may be the journey meant more than the destination - just as his counterpart in the Mojave had learned. It was an ending to things - a way of erasing the road that had led to this point and the history that had walked with it.ĮD-E, given second life by the machines of the Divide, freed by the Courier, continued his quest west, to Navarro.or what remained of what the eyebot considered "home." Whether he found his homeland or not, his road is unknown. Caravans and NCR outposts along the route were reduced to ash, an Old World gift from the Divide.Īccelerate the countdown for the missiles to launch at the NCR.Īs catastrophic as the damage was for NCR, the act made the Courier stronger for having no history, and no retreat. missiles fell on NCR and the Long 15 caravan route beyond the Mojave Outpost, the road the Courier had been walking when the tale began.
It was an ending to all things - a way of erasing the road that had led to this point and the history that had walked with it. Legion soldiers died, their silhouettes blasted into the ground and earth, the last word of the last of the Twisted Hairs. where the Twisted Hairs had allied, then been betrayed by Vulpes and Caesar. missiles fell on the East and the Legion encampment at Dry Wells. Launch the missiles at both the Legion and NCR without Wild Wasteland. The history of the West was erased for the second time, thorough and complete. The missiles rained like spears down on the land, burning flags and communities alike. The Divide erupted in fire, violent, red as the last message of the two Couriers arced into the sky. Launch the missiles at both the Legion and NCR with Wild Wasteland. There, they saw NCR relics, reminders of their once proud history. The act was discovered 200 years later, as other Couriers explored the Mojave wastes. They blew up the lands West and East of the Mojave. Launch the missiles (this will not be shown if the player launched the missiles at both the Legion and NCR). The Divide erupted in fire as the flame trail of the two Couriers' last message arced into the sky.
