A Man's Job

Talk to Hammilton in the Boneyard Library and he will ask you to track down and kill one of his workers who has left. He will also show you the location of the nearby Boneyard train station. You must go there and ask four people about the missing man. The fourth person will point you toward the next train station. Go there and ask four more people and you'll find that the missing person boarded the train to NCR. Follow your leads asking four people at each of the four stations and you'll eventually track him back to a shady man at the NCR train station who will tell you the location of the man, whose hideout is nearby to the west.

When you confront your target, you have two options: kill him or spare his life. If you spare his life and have low charisma, Hammilton will know and send thugs to kill you, so watch out.

Note: You do not have to finish this quest to explore all four train stations, but you will explore them in order to complete the quest.

Requirements

• Charisma higher than 4 if you need to lie about success to Hammilton.

Rewards

• 8000 xp
• 6000 caps and a 14mm pistol with full clip and 60 14mm ammo, as well as a Scout Handbook if you are a slaver and you do assassinate the target.
• 3000 caps if you are not a slaver and you do assassinate the target.
