, 3 years ago→How did Benny escape Vegas?
Line 132:
** Or he didn't order his Securitrons to look specifically for him, because he thought sending you was enough.
** House may know of Benny's betrayal, but as he said himself, "All he has to do is hold a pistol up to the chip, and he's won." House might have even just let Benny go, knowing he'll just dispatch the Courier to get the chip again later.
*** First of all, the idea of Benny running past a bunch of securitrons makes no sense. What's the point of having a heavily fortified checkpoint if the guards can't even put down one guy with no armor whose only tactic is to run fast? Secondly, yes there's a passage behind Benny's room but and it might lead to a tunnel, but that still doesn't explain how he managed to build one in the first place without House noticing. House is paranoid about security, how could he ignore the possibility of someone coming into Vegas from underground? Thirdly, House wouldn't just let Benny go on faith that the player might bring it back.
**** "All he has to do is hold a pistol up to the chip, and he's won." Benny has nothing to lose at this point, so no reason not to pull the trigger. If House loses the chip, all his plans go down the drain. He can do nothing without the Mk. IIs. House has a better chance of recovering the chip intact if he lets Benny go, because knows that as long as Benny has an escape, Benny also won't destroy it. And neither will anyone who has a clue what it could possibly mean to House. The Courier then is the best bet for making sure everything goes well.
** Tell me, would the Courier be able to run past 2 or 3 Securitrons while wearing no armor? Probably yes. Benny could likely do the same, as by the time the Securitrons pull out their weapons, Benny would be outside of their weapon's effective ranges.
** Just because House owns Vegas doesn't mean he knows every rock and crevice in it. Besides, there was 190 years where anyone could have built a tunnel and House would have been none the wiser. Really, you wouldn't be able to find a tunnel there until you actually stumble into it, provided it was planned out. And it's not like House ever failed to consider a possibility, right?
