Fallout New Vegas: G.I. Blues

G.I. Blues

Given by: The King [King's School of Impersonation] (M6:6)

Your task is to find out why one of the bodyguards in Freeside earns so many caps. Go to the main gate, where you'll find Orris (M6B:4) #1. Hire him and pay him 200 caps. Go after him and watch out for any suspicious activity. After a while he will start to run and you won't be able to catch with him. He will start shooting and just after you reach the crossing, you'll find some dead bodies #2.

NOTICE: To get this quest complete, you have to notice on of two facts now. If your skills are not high enough, you'll return to the King, telling him that you didn't find anything suspicious. You have to do it again.

• [Intelligence 6] tell Orris that he shot only 3 times but there are 4 bodies;
• [Barter 50] force him to give you caps back. Return to the King (M6:6) and tell him about your findings.
• [Medicine 30] take a closer look at the bodies - you'll notice that one of "dead" thugs is just pretending to be dead.

You can shoot Orris and fake thugs or just return to the King (M6:6) and tell him about your findings.

Your next task is little bit easier. Go to the [Old Mormon Fort] (M6B:1) and talk to wounded men about the attacks. Ask for the details - first talk to Roy and then to Wayne. Return to the King (M6:6) and report him back what you've found. You have to learn some more information though and you have few possibilities right now.

• you can go back to [Old Mormon Fort] (M6B:1) and talk to Julie Farkas about NCR soldiers in Freeside.

You'll learn about major Elizabeth Kieran who provides food to poor people.

• you can talk to one of the Missionaries (M6B:6) or (M6B:9).

To get any information from them you have to pass a short knowledge test (below are the correct answers):

• Who was the most popular president in NCR history? Tandi
• What was the original name of the NCR Capital? Shady Sands
• What animal is on the NCR's flag? Two Headed Bear

If you answer correctly all three questions, you'll learn where free food is provided and the password, which is "Hope".

Go to the major. She is at the Ruined Store (M6B:5). There are two guards next to the entrance #1. You have two ways to get inside the building:

• [Speech 30] say that you got urgent business to do
• say the password if you successfully passed the test.

You'll get a small meal from Elisabeth #2. Ask her if she provides free food for local inhabitants and tell her that this is very important for Julie. You'll learn that the messenger was sent to the King and was beaten. Return to the King (M6:6) - Pacer will immediately approach you as you walk in the King's School of Impersonation. He will ask you to keep hush about his involvement. You can agree, refuse to do this or ask for money to stay quiet (200 caps, and you can ask for more with [Barter 50]). Of course, regardless of which option you choose, go talk to the King.

• mention that NCR has sent a messenger to begin negotiations - scroll down to the ending 1;
• do not mention a messenger - scroll down to the ending 2.

After a while one of the King members pops up and tells you two of the battle near the train station between Pacer and NCR.

Ending 1

Head over to the station (M6B:7) and talk to Elizabeth Kieran saying that the King wants to support them. Say that he had no idea about beating the messenger - she will agree to get his support. Return to the King (M6:6) and tell him that you have resolved the conflict. As a reward you'll get a favor of your choice:

• you can join the Kings;
• a Passport providing an entrance into the Strip without the credit check;
• ask for Rex - [Nothin' But a Hound Dog] is unlocked;
• 1000 caps;
• ask to stop violence against the NCR (useful in [Kings' Gambit]).

Ending 2

Head over to the station (M6B:7), help Pacer and shoot all NCR soldiers out.

• [Barter 50] ask him how much your help is worth - you'll get 150 caps.

A sniper rifle is very useful here - you can shoot all enemies out from a distance (especially these standing on the lookout tower). When it's over return to the King (M6:6) and tell him that the problem with NCR is solved. As a reward you'll get a favor of your choice:

• you can join the Kings;
• a Passport providing an entrance into the Strip without the credit check;
• ask for Rex - [Nothin' But a Hound Dog] is unlocked;
• 1000 caps;
• ask to stop violence against the NCR (useful in [Kings' Gambit]).
