Chapter Two
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Episode Three
As Javi and David wander the streets, David confronts you about the “go along with them for now” that he overheard Javi telling the rest of the group. He tells Javi that they’ve got their own methods and ways of doing things here and that’s not going to change because of your group.
He’ll then ask Javi if what Gabe has been telling him is true, but you won’t know exactly what he’s talking about. As the player, you’ll have to guess what he’s eluding to, or call Gabe out for being a blabbermouth. David will then tell you he was talking about Mariana’s unfortunate death. He asks about how it happened and what she was like as a young girl. You can choose to tell him these details as you wish, but he’ll ask Javi who it was that killed her. Javi tells him it was a member of the New Frontier, and that Max, the guy currently on the gate, was there. David storms away and says he’ll handle things but tells Javi to keep out of it as the politics in Richmond are messy. He’s just one of four leaders here (the head of security), so he’ll need to talk things through with the others.
Javi is then quickly introduced to David’s right-hand woman, Ava. Though nothing really happens in the conversation, she’s definitely going to be an interesting character.
As Javi enters the medical bay where Kate is, you find Gabe is inside with her already. Kate is awake and okay and David makes a comment about how beautiful his wife is, just before she starts writhing in pain. David runs out to the get the doctor, but Kate was just putting it on so she could talk to Javi alone. She’s scared more than she ever was on the road, and confides in you, telling you it’s always been the two of you and that’s what has gotten you so far. She’ll ask you to promise not to leave her alone for too long.
David quickly returns with the doctor who is incredibly impressed by the work that Eleanor did on Kate. The doctor says he’ll vouch to have Eleanor taken out of quarantine and put to work. David then says the two of you have to meet some people, and bids farewell to Kate. The doctor says he won’t be able to make it and to send his apologies, but tells David that his vote is with him. Looks like we’re about to see the higher-ups of this settlement.
Javi is then taken to an old church where two people are already talking. Clin, who runs food production, and Joan, who is the bridge to the outside world and handles contact with outside settlements. After a bit of small talk over food, Javi is told that Joan, Clint, David, and the doctor make all the decisions in the settlement, and that the New Frontier mark was a sign of trust and a crude solution to the betrayal problem they faced in the past.
Max, the guy Javi had some altercations with in previous episodes is then brought in. Clint sent for him after hearing you two had exchanged bullets before. We chose to say you have no problems with him, and Max said the same thing back. You can choose to say you’re not friends or that you can’t stand him, but remember you may not want to upset these people in the long run. Joan says she doesn’t buy it and then starts pushing Max for information on what really happened. He spills the beans on the entire event. He tells them of the siphoning of the gas, the murdering of his friend Rufus, all when they would have offered to help Javi had he just asked. This isn’t looking good for your time in Richmond.
You’ll then be given the option to tell them that Badger killed Mariana, or to just let it slide. We opted to tell them and David told Javi to sit down, but Joan pressed him to continue. You can continue to tell them the information of how they ambushed Prescott. Joan tells David she warned him of getting his soldiers in line. She then orders Javi and the rest of his group to be sent outside of the gates with enough weapons to keep themselves alive but nothing more. She wants nothing to do with them after the events that have just been told.
David tells you that Kate, Gabe, and Eleanor will be staying here, but to stay safe while he tries to smooth things over with Joan and Clint. Well, that was a short stay in Richmond!
