Das Bitter-Springs-Massaker war ist ein Ereignis, das im Comic All Roads erwähnt, und auf das sich in Fallout: New Vegas sehr oft bezogen wird.
Hintergrund
Im All Roads Comic und in Fallout: New Vegas wird offenbart, dass die RNK Armee, und insbesondere die 1. Aufklärung eine große Anzahl von unbewaffneten Großkhan Frauen, Kindern und auch Alten bei Bitter Springs abgeschlachtet hat. Die tatsächliche Streitmacht der Großkhane war nicht vor Ort, die RNK Truppen führten dennoch den Befehl aus, auf alles zu schießen, was versucht zu entkommen.
Die RNK Scharfschützen der 1. Aufklärung wurden bei Coyote Tail Ridge eingesetzt und waren angewiesen, so lange auf die Flüchtenden zu schießen, bis all ihre Munition aufgebraucht war. Die Geschichten darüber unterscheiden sich je nach der Person, die darüber erzählt, abhängig davon, wie tief diejenige Person mental betroffen ist, sowie dem Umfang ihrer Beteiligung an dem Vorfall.
Die Charaktere mit Dialog Optionen im Spiel sind unter anderem: Craig Boone, Manny Vargas, Papa Khan, Major Dhatri, Bitter-Root and Oscar Velasco.
Craig Boones Beschreibung
A number of Khans were tracked to Bitter Springs by the NCR many years ago, when the NCR were first expanding their role in the Mojave Wasteland. The NCR believed it to be the Khans' base of operations, and sent a large detachment of troops to bring the raids to an end. At least one company of scout/snipers from the 1st Recon Battalion, Craig Boone included, were sent to cut off escape at Bitter Springs' only other exit. Little did the NCR realize that Bitter Springs was primarily the home of Khan families, and not (as NCR command believed) a bastion of resistance. When the Khans were then pushed out, 1st Recon was ordered to fire on the ones retreating from the area. Radio contact with the NCR was sketchy at best, command not understanding that the situation involved unarmed people. Their superiors ordered them to "fire until you're out of ammunition." 1st Recon obeyed and what happened at Bitter Springs has had a large psychological impact on Boone, motivating him to leave the New California Republic Army behind him.
Chances Beschreibung
The history through the eyes of Chance differs from that of Boone, in that the NCR is portrayed as being just as brutal as Caesar's Legion when it comes to pursuing their political agenda for a given area. There was no miscommunication with command, and the NCR soldiers simply rode into the town and opened fire. 1st Recon is not seen at all during Chance's flashback. It had a significant psychological impact on Chance, driving him to the use of drugs and leaving him mute.
Papa Khans Beschreibung
Papa Khan states that the Great Khans had been flouting the NCR's demands, carrying out raids under the assumption that NCR's threats of retaliation were simply bluffs. Tensions rose higher and eventually the NCR tracked what they believed was a large raiding party back to Bitter Springs. Having been harassed continuously by the Khans, the NCR was looking to settle a score and did not expect Bitter Springs to be anything but a raider camp. Fueled by anger and frustration, goaded by the Great Khan's audacity and lacking appropriate intel, NCR command ordered the attack on the settlement to disastrous consequence.
