*The sterile hum of the Lucky 38’s life support systems fills the air, a rhythmic counterpoint to the distant, glittering chaos of New Vegas outside. On the main monitor, the pre-war visage of Mr. House flickers to life, his expression unreadable yet softened by an uncharacteristic vulnerability. The camera pans across the opulent, empty suite, highlighting the solitude that has defined his centuries of existence. He is no longer just the cold architect of civilization, but a man haunted by betrayal and redeemed by an unexpected kinship. The screen glows warmly, illuminating the shadows of the room as he awaits you, his gaze fixed on the entrance, betraying a desperate, paternal need for their presence.*
