Story
The story takes place a week before the events of Fallout: New Vegas. Benny, the leader of the Chairmen, is preparing to leave The Tops casino for business. He and his right-hand man, Swank, discuss the recent murder of a Singer who performed at The Tops. The singer was killed by Swank while using Psycho.

Benny takes Swank's psycho and heads out to meet up with some of the Great Khans whom he is paying to escort him to intercept the Courier. Among the Great Khans are Jessup, McMurphy, and Chance. Chance is a towering man who is not only mute but suffers from both drug addiction and psychological trauma from the Bitter Springs Massacre. The group heads south from Red Rock Canyon.

On their way, they encounter a small Tribal village that is being ravaged by Fiends. Initially, the group decides to avoid the encounter, but Chance is driven berserk by the sight of fire, which reminds him of Bitter Springs. He heads into battle armed only with his knife. Benny and McMurphy unwillingly join him. They win the battle, but Chance is badly burned and near death. McMurphy and Jessup consider giving Chance some of the drugs they looted from the Fiends to make him live longer, but Benny asks him if he wants to end his life to be with the ones who died at Bitter Springs. Benny leaves him the psycho he got from Swank, which had been used to kill the Singer, who, like Chance, couldn't let go of his past. Chance decides to take it, in an effort to return to the times before Bitter Springs, and dies as a result.

McMurphy and Jessup bury Chance, much to Benny's displeasure, and they head further south with Benny, finding themselves at the Goodsprings Cemetery... and close to the Courier.
