This is a short thing I wrote. It's supposed to be a letter from Marge LeBarge (the woman who owns one of the mines in Redding) convincing Mayor Ascorti to choose the NCR as Redding's "companion", or how to say. I wrote it because I love the way politics is blended into many parts of Fallout 2.
Here goes:

Dear Mayor Ascorti,
I will get right to the point with this letter, since time is nothing to trifle with in these times.
Our bucolic hometown Redding has been the shining gem on which New Reno, Vault City and the New California Republic have been glancing on for quite some time now, and the three powers are getting more and more interested in us for every day that passes. To survive, we, the citizens of Redding, must make a choice. A choice between which superpower will gain control of our gold ore, and, ultimately, control of our whole town.
Vault City may seem like a good deal, considering their high technological standards and modern medical equipment, but their humanitarian conditions are awful. They treat only “citizens” as people, and let everyone else rot away, doing slave labor all their lives. Outlanders are considered savages, and if it weren’t for the extremely high security, the “servants” that Vault City hold would riot without question.
New Reno, on the other hand, is heaven. Heaven for the addicts. There is not a single person in that city that isn’t addicted to some sort of chem. Prostitutes and pimps are as easy to find as water in the sea—half of the population are selling sex, while the other half is buying it! It’s a wonder the town hasn’t yet fallen apart completely after all the gang fights and murders taking place everyday. The families running the city are all equally corrupt and would only drag the people of Redding further into drug addiction than they already are.
As a person who wishes the best for everyone in Redding, I must recommend you that we choose the New California Republic as our host and guardian. They may not have an incredibly liberal government, but then again, who does? They can provide us without enough weapons and guards to protect us from whatever roams the wastes, they have enough money and resources for Redding to expand, and are, frankly, our only chance of survival.
So when you choose who to cooperate with, choose the New California Republic. Unless you want a Redding populated by drug addicted gangsters and racist slavers who are too good for outlanders.
Yours truly,
Marge LeBarge, proprietor and manager of the Kokoweef Mine.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome and if you liked my fiction, I might make it into a three-letter-series, with letters to Ascorti from Dan McGrew and "Painless" Doctor Johnson.
