Afterwards, talk to Smiley, ask him if he can tell you the tale of the Gecko, and then ask him how to skin Geckos. Now, with your newfound knowledge, go to the wilderness, and kill all of the Geckos there. Be sure you get their pelts. After you have killed them, leave for the Den.

;NOTE: The Orphaned children will steal from you if you walk past them. Sometimes, they're successful; other times, they aren't. A workaround is to walk near the children, and then immediately enter combat mode. Run past the children, and enter the building. You have to do the same thing (reverse order though) to leave the building safely.

;NOTE: Do not attempt to gamble at Rebecca's casino. There is an endless conversation bug (in other words, it doesn't end) when you talk to one of the casino patrons.

The Den is a dangerous place and is a safe haven for drug and slave trading. You'll be able to bust a slaver ring and a small gang here.

When you enter the Den, go a bit to the south, and then enter Rebecca's bar/casino (see the note above). Talk to Rebecca, and ask her for some work. She'll tell you to go and find Fred. To find Fred, leave the bar, go south, and enter the building where there is only one orphaned child. Enter it, and talk to the drunk-looking guy (description says that he is "a citizen of the Den"). Tell him that he owes Rebecca $200. He'll ask for $150 in the process, and tell him that's okay. (He'll give you lots of nice stuff later on.) Also, enter the door that leads to Flick, the shopkeeper who is wearing a green shirt. Ask him what he does he do in the Den, and then ask him if you can trade. After he shows you his wares, don't trade for anything, and thank him. Talk to him again and ask him to show you his wares. This time, he has a .44 magnum revolver that you can barter for. Buy that and its corrosponding ammunition. Use your gecko pelts to trade for that.

Afterwards, leave this area, and go to Rebecca to pay her the $200. She'll split it in half for you. Talk to Rebecca again and offer to find the missing book for her. The book is in one of four random locations:

# The book is by a trashcan (not on fire) with a car door leaning beside it. The area is to the south of the graveyard and across the street.

# The book is in the graveyard. It's close by the John Andersen tombstone.

# The book is by some ruins to the east of the Slaver's Guild. The wall to the north is blocking the book, so you'll have to carefully search the area.

# The book is in an outhouse close to The Hole. It's beside the toilet.

After you find the book, you can return it to Rebecca for some experience and money.

Now, it is time to go to the east side. Go there, and if you are female, go to the Hole. Talk to the male bar patron, and tell him that he can screw you for $200. If he says he doesn't have enough money, tell him tough luck and then ask for $200 again (chances are that he might have the money). If you are male, you can screw a prostitute if you give her some cash (I don't know what is the point though...).

{{-}}

{{sidebar|width=200px|title=GUN Information: 12-gauge Shotgun|contents=Even with its two shell ammo capacity, the shotgun is still a formidable weapon. It has a decent range and is quite powerful; targeted shots can deal in excess of 50 hit points.}}

Go to the Slavers guild which is to the east. Enter there, and the door guard will start to talk to you. Tell him that you want to see Metzger or you want to buy some slaves. Afterwards, talk to another guard who is holding a slave inside the main building. Ask him about Vic, then ask if you can see him. Beg if the guard won't let you through. If he lets you through, talk to Vic, tell him that you are going to free him, and then give him the old radio that you found in Klamath. Afterwards, go and see Metzger (he's in the center of the northern room). Talk to him, and ask him if you can buy Vic. He'll sell him for $1000. If you're female, you can screw Metzger and buy him for half the price. Also, be sure to steal the shotgun from Metzger.

{{sidebar|width=200px|title=NPC Information: Vic|contents=In the beginning, 'coward' defines Vic, but after you give him some armor and a decent weapon (like a shotgun or better), he becomes a whole lot better. Initially, he is inept at combat, but later on, he is quite formidable. After he maxes out his level, he can use the Gauss Rifle. In the long run, he is a valuable asset.

Vic can use all small arms, but is horrible at melee combat. His specialty is the repair skill.}}

When you talk to Vic, ask him where did he get the water flasks from for some easy experience.

Next, go to Mom's diner and talk to Mom, the owner of the place. Ask her what's going on in town. She'll hand you a dinner that she wants you to give to Smitty. Also, talk to Stacy and ask her why is she so sad She'll mention a cat, and ask if you can hear the story about her cat. You'll get some experience for listening to the story. Head to the west side of the Den to return Smitty's meal.

Smitty is in the far west corner of the West Side of the Den. Go talk to him, and tell him that you have his meal from Mom's. You'll get 150 experience and a stimpack for giving him the meal. If you take a look at Smitty's lockers, you can get a tool and other miscellaneous items. The last locker contains a shovel, which will be required for a quest later on.

Now it is time to do some mercenary work. Go talk to Lara, who is south of Tubby's store (it's the central building on the western wing of buildings). Lara is the woman in the second room. Talk to her, and ask her if there is any work to be done. She wants you to examine some crates in the Church on the East Side of the Den. Head there.

Once in the East Side, go to the church, and talk to Tyler. Tell him that Metzger sent you, and he wants you to check some stuff for him. He'll get pretty antsy, but will let you in. Once there, examine one column of the crates to find out that they are filled with chemical compounds. Head back to the West Side.

When you go there, go talk to Lara, and tell her what you saw. She'll give you $200 and a new quest: ask Metzger if it is okay for Lara and her gang to guard the church now. Head to Metzger's slave guild. Talk to Metzger and ask if Lara can attack Tyler's gang. Metzger will say that it is okay. Go back to the West Side and talk to Lara. She'll give you another quest: find a weakness in Tyler's gang.

Go back to the church, and talk to Tyler. Ask him what's going on, and he'll mention that he's going to a party. Tell him that you want him to have fun. You'll get more experience. Go back to the West Side. Talk to Lara, and she'll offer you $300 if you go and fight with her in order to eliminate Tyler's gang. Say yes. The fight isn't that bad, especially with Metzger's stolen shotgun and the revolver, and is ridiculously easy with the Power Armor. After you have killed Tyler's gang, you'll receive $400.

Now, it is time to put a ghost to rest. Go to the building that is directly south of the one that Lara usually stays. There should be a ghost there. Talk to the ghost, and ask her what is the matter. The ghost says that she can't find it. Ask the ghost what is the object, and then she'll mention that it is a locket. With this newfound knowledge, go to Mom's diner. Talk to Mom, eat the meal that she offers you, and then ask her if she knows about the haunted house. She'll mention that a teen used the house about two years ago whose name is Joey. Thank her, and head back (sigh) to the West Side.

Joey is the thug wearing a leather jacket. Talk to him, and ask him for some information. Ask him about the ghost, and then ask about the locket. Tell him that he stole it, and buy it from him for $50. With the locket, go back to the building where you found the ghost, and give her the locket. Talk to her again, and she'll turn into a pile of bones. Pick up the bones and head to the graveyard. Find the grave marked "Anna Winslow." Dig up the grave with your shovel, put the bones in there, and then close it up. (If you were wondering, the grave is in the southeastern area of the graveyard.)

If you have the Advanced Power Armor, you can go and kill Metzger for a good bit of experience. Loot the corpses to get their pistols and drugs, for they come in handy when it comes to buying weapons later on. Also, if you have killed Metzger, go to Rebecca's bar. Tell Rebecca that the fight was easy, and she'll give you $1000 dollars. Go to one of the merchants in the West Side of the Den, and see if you can buy some jet (the merchants might sell it to you for about $60). Head to Vault City now, but stop in the unknown green area while you're on your way there.

* Kill the rats in Farrel's garden: 300  xp

* Kill the rats in Farrel's garden: 635  kxp

Modoc is a small farming community that is on the verge of death. A drought has plagued the crop harvest and a new "ghost farm" has been discovered. You can help forge an alliance between the new "ghost farm" and Modoc and also help the citizens in their daily lives. You can also get married here.

When you first come into Modoc, go in the trading post, and talk to the mayor, Jo. Ask him about Modoc, and then ask him about the G.E.C.K. He'll say he knows where it is, and he'll present you with a new quest: find the Ghost Farm. Get the details for the quest, but you do not have to undertake it at this moment. (By the way, Jo will lie to you and mention that a G.E.C.K is like a Gecko...you're doing the quest for the rewards and experience.)

You can go to the wooden building to the southeast of Modoc and talk to Grisham, the owner of the local slaughterhouse. You can offer to guard his brahmin at night for a $1000. If you do accept the quest, you have to guard some eight-odd brahmin against ten wild dogs. I have successfully completed the quest using a combination of a 10mm Pistol and a .44 Magnum revolver. After you have killed all ten dogs, leave the field and talk to Grisham to get the money. Also, if you look at the shelf next to Grisham, there is a first-aid book as well as some flares. You can steal a shotgun and some shells from also.

Next, go back to the trading post and talk to Jo. Barter some stuff (pistols, excess ammo, etc.) for some dynamite and a rope. Go to the well in the central area, and pry open the cover for the well. Use the rope on the well in order to descend down the well. If you want, you can optionally go there and find a BB gun and some money (though if you take those items, you'll lose karma).

Head to the Rose's Bar and Breakfast area, and go to the shack directly to your right. Talk to Farrel, and ask him about the gold watch. He'll tell you what happened. (BTW, you'll find it later.) Talk to him again, ask what he does, and tell him that you would like to help him get rid of some rats that invaded his garden. I had no problem defeating them unarmed. (This holds true with or without the armor.)

Now, go back to Rose's Bed and Breakfast, and this time, heal to full health and save the game. Enter the outhouse (it's a bit north of Farrel's home). Enter it, and place a stick of dynamite right next to the pile of rocks. Set the timer to three minutes, and escape from the outhouse. If you placed the dynamite correctly, this section Modoc should be covered with biological goo, as well as blowing the outhouse away. Usually, it doesn't work, and sometimes you end up killing yourself in the process.

After it has been done successfully, save the game, and heal yourself if you've taken massive damage as a result of the explosion. Enter the outhouse again, and go inside the cave. Kill the molerat that is guarding Cornelius' gold watch. Get the gold watch, leave the outhouse, and then give it to Farrel.

Now it is time to deal with the Ghost Farm. Save the game, and leave Modoc for the Ghost Farm. If you have a high Doctor skill, you can heal Bess, the brahmin with the broken leg for some experience before you venture out to the Ghost Farm. I was successful with 29% Doctor skill.

You can also get married in Modoc. To try, talk to Grisham's children in his home. It's good for a laugh, but his children are horrible in combat. It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl; both genders can have either spouse.

# Talk to Vegeir, and give Jo the letter that he has given you.

When you go to the Ghost Farm, you might encounter some Slag guards in the beginning. Tell them that you will go down with them. If you don't see any, go to the building to the northeast, and fall down through the mat to go underground. Talk to one of the guards, ask them for answers to some questions, and then go to Vegeir with them.

Once you get to Vegeir, tell him that you have some questions, and then accept the quest to give the letter to Jo. Leave the Ghost Farm through the entrance to the south of Vegeir. Go to Modoc, and deliver the letter to Jo. Oh yes, be sure that you examine the bodies on the stake before you leave.

# Find Karl for Jo.

When you enter Modoc, give Jo the letter. Jo will find out about the Slags, and he will get angry at the Slags for "killing" Karl and for harboring dead bodies on stakes in the farm. Tell Jo that the bodies are fake, and you will go and find Karl. Jo will give you a month to find Karl. Karl is in the Den, in Mom's diner, on the east side. Head there. Jo will give you thirty-one days to find Karl; otherwise, he and some Modoc townsfolk will attack the Slags.

# Find Karl.

Not too much to say here. Go to Mom's diner, and talk to the drunk in the green shirt. Ask him what is his story, and he'll start to talk about the ghost farm. Leave for Modoc upon hearing his story.

{{spoiler| In the interim, you should see this huge guy in some special type of Power Armor and two troopers in Advanced Power Armor. They kill this family of farmers, and tell you to walk away. This is foreshadowing to what will happen in the future. The big guy is the end-game boss. He may look hard right now, but the fight will be among the easiest in the game.}}

Go talk to Jo, and tell him about Karl being a drunkard in the Den. You'll get lots of experience points for Modoc's trade. Go to the Tannery, and talk to Balthas. Ask him if he is preoccupied with something, introduce yourself, and then go find Jonny for him. Jonny is in the ghost farm. Balthas will send Laddie with you to help you find Jonny.

When you get to the ghost farm, enter the underground through the trapdoor in the actual farm. Talk to Vegeir, and tell him that the trade message was received well. He'll give you an Assault Rifle and some ammunition. The Assault Rifle can be upgraded with an extended clip to hold 100 bullets versus 24. It's okay since it's not too powerful, but the high ammo capacity and good range make up for its lack of power.

Now, it is time to find Jonny. Head north (while you're still in the underground), and enter the area next to the underground lake. Laddie will run up to Jonny. Talk to the little boy, and ask him if his name is Jonny. He'll say yes, and then tell him that his mom and dad have sent you to find him. Jonny will then ask you for his dad's name (of course, answer Balthas). After that, Jonny will be happy. You have to ask Vegeir if he can come home.

Go to Vegeir and ask him if he can come home. He'll say yes and will arrange an escort to take you, Jonny, and Laddie to Modoc. When you get there, talk to Balthas, and he'll give you some new armor. You'll also receive a good bit of experience as well. Head towards Vault City now.

Vault City is a large place and perhaps represents a "utopia" in the Fallout World. It is a highly organized totalitarian society that traces its roots from the citizens of Vault 8.

Enter Vault City during the day. Head to the north and then take a right turn when you reach the bar. Go talk to the crying child, and he'll mention something about losing a Mr. Nixon doll. The doll is in a corner of the outside wall of the bar, near some old boxes. (It's a box-looking object.) Pick up the doll and give it to Curtis for some experience. Be sure to listen to his conversation, and he'll mention a wrench in a rock pile. Go to the rock pile (which is due east) and examine it upon hearing the reference to the wrench. You should find a wrench.

Now, head to the tent that is next to you. Talk to the worried woman, and ask her what is wrong. She'll say that her husband is now in the servant allocation center and was arrested. Offer to find Joshua for her.

Go a bit north, and enter the clinic, and go to the room with the contraption (the Auto-Doc) in it. Repair the Auto-Doc using the tool. After it has been repaired, go a bit south and somewhat west and enter the shack that is north of the jail. Talk to the man in the green shirt, and ask him about where he got the flask from and then inquire about Vault 13. He won't know where he got it from, but you'll receive some experience from digging out that info.

Now go to the tent that is right across from the clinic with a farmer standing outside. Talk to the farmer, and ask him what he does in Vault City. Ask him what is the problem, and then offer to buy him a plow. Go to Happy Harry's store (it has a big happy face on its wall) and talk to Harry. Ask if he is selling the plow, and buy it from him and be sure to ask him to deliver it to the Smith's. Go back to the tent next to the clinic, and talk to Mr. Smith. He'll hand you a Desert Eagle and you'll also receive some experience in the process. Now, head for Downtown, which is to the north.

When you enter Downtown, go to the right into the Customs building. Talk to Skeev, the man in the vault suit who is standing in the first room. Ask him what is this place, and then ask him that you're looking to go into the Vault, and then ask him about "other ways." He'll say that if you have the cash, he will go into further detail, which essentially boils down to forgered citizenship papers. Tell him that you might tell others that he might be selling citizenship papers, and he'll say that the others won't believe you. Buy the papers from him, and then make a sarcastic remark to him. He'll believe you, and then ask him to pay for your silence. He'll get really angry, and then tell him that "sweet talking" won't help at all. He'll give you $300. Tell him that you have his silence, and then talk to the gate guard. Tell him that you are a citizen, and give him your papers. He'll say that they looked legit, and then tell the guard that you missed meeting each other. He'll let you through.

Go to the Tap House on the right, and talk to Lydia, the bar owner. Ask her what's on tap, and then inquire about real alcohol. Tell her that real can't compare to synthetic alcohol and then give her the alcohol that you have for $300 and some experience. Next, head on to the maintenance center, and talk to Valerie, the girl in the metal armor. If you have Vic in your party, there'll be a lengthy conversation between her and Vic. Anyways, talk to her, and ask her what this place is. Ask her what does she repair, and then she'll mention something about missing tools. Offer to help her, and give her some pliers and a wrench for some experience and $50.

{{sidebar|width=200px|title=GUN Information: Combat Shotgun|contents=The Combat Shotgun, along with its siblings (Pancor Jackhammer and H&K CAWS), is among the best all-rounded weapons in the game. Targeted shots deal a fair amount of damage, up to about 85 hit points, while regular shots deal between 10 and 30 hit points of damage. There's also a powerful burst mode, though it is weaker in the combat shotgun than in the other models.}}

Next, go to the Amenities office (it's to the left to the Repair Shop) and talk to the man (Randal) in the vault suit. Ask him what is this place, and then ask him if you can see what is in stock. He'll ask for your citizenship papers, and give him yours. Everything will work out, so buy a combat shotgun, some 12 ga. shells, and some books using the money and excess weaponry that you have. If you have NPC's, and intend to keep them (they'll soon become worthless later on), you can barter for an SMG to give to Sulik. Now, head to the Corrections Center, and talk to the man in metal armor. Ask him what some questions, and then mention something about Patrols. Offer to do some recon work for him, which is to scout out the eight sectors around Gecko. Leave, and go to the Servant Allocation center.

When you get there, talk to the guy in the vault suit. Ask him what is the Servant Allocation Center, and then tell him that you are looking for Joshua. Tell him that Joshua has a contagious disease, and then give him some more info. If your speech skill is above 90%, then he will believe you; otherwise, he won't and you'll have to buy him out instead. After you get Joshua, head to the Information Center, which should be to your left. Talk to the the man in the vault suit, and ask what this place is. Ask him if he has any books or manuals, and he'll say that the books are being transcribed into an electronic format. Ask him if all the books are gone, and he'll tell you what might eventually happen to the information center. Tell him that you like reading a book instead of viewing text on an electronic screen, and he'll give you some free books. Leave the building and head outside.

Once outside, go to the left, and you should see a man in green. Talk to him and accept to take a briefcase to the Bishop family in New Reno. Note that this is strictly optional. Now, head for the City Council.

Once you reach the Council, head north and a bit towards the left, and enter the Council building. Go inside, and talk to Lynette, the First Citizen (she's in the southeastern room). Ask her about the G.E.C.K, and she'll say that it isn't meant for you. Tell her about the Vault Dweller, and then show her your jumpsuit and water flask. Ask her if she knows about Vault 13, and then ask if you can search the computer archives. She'll say that you must take a Citizenship test (you can only pass with 10 Intelligence and 10 Luck). Tell her that you will take the test, and she'll mention another way: get rid of the Ghoulish inhabitants of Gecko. You'll take yet another route to "true" citizenship, however. Leave Vault City for Gecko.

{{sidebar|width=200px|title=NPC Information: Cassidy|contents=Cassidy is a good all-around small guns sniper, comparable to the original Fallout's Tycho. Cassidy can use most two-handed small guns, and is far better in combat than Vic at this stage in the game. He has heart problems, so if he takes any drugs other than stimpacks, he can die. He's pretty good.}}

By the way, there is another NPC in the bar who you can pick up. His name is Cassidy, and he is like Vic in many respects, but a lot better.

Gecko is a community inhabited by ghouls. Its economy relies on a cranky nuclear reactor that is contaminating the local water supply, which coincidentally is used by Vault City.

When you enter Gecko, go to a bit to the north and enter the building which reads "manager's office." Enter the building, and examine the desk, and take the two clipboards. Also, examine the shelf on the left hall to find a book about science.

{{sidebar|width=200px|title=NPC Information - Lenny|contents=With 129 hit points, Lenny easily is the most durable out of all of the other NPC's. He can also heal you, for his forte is the Doctor skill. He says that he can use SMG's and pistols, and he is okay at best with an H&K G11/G11E or the .223 Pistol. He's not really worth having in the long run, however.}}

While you're in the building, talk to the ghoul (Harold) who is in the primary room, beside the desk. Ask him what does he do here, and then he'll mention that the reactor isn't working well and that he needs a Hydroelectric Magnetosphere. If you talk to the ghoul on his left (Lenny), you can pick up another NPC. He can also heal you, if necessary. Head east to the Nuclear Plant.

Once in the plant, head a bit to the north and a ways east, and enter the room with a ghoul behind a room that has lockers. Talk to the ghoul (his description says that he has a shaved head) and tell him that you have something to pick up. Ask for a three-step plasma transformer, and give him the part request form (one of the items on the clipboard) that you found earlier. Leave the room, and go a bit to the east and enter the room a bit to the south with a rusted locker. Open it and take the yellow keycard out. Leave the room, and head to the southern part of the reactor. Put the keycard in one of your active item slots and open the yellow door. After you get past that level of security, go to the room with a shelf. Examine the shelf and get the red key card and put it in your item slot (remove the yellow card).

Now, make your way to the east and talk to Festus, the ghoul in the southeasternmost room. Tell him that the reactor isn't running very well, and then tell him that Vault City is complaining about the groundwater problem. He'll say that nothing is wrong. Anyways, leave the reactor and go to the Junkyard, to the north.

When you get there, go to the Survival Gear center, and talk to the shopkeeper. Ask him what is going on, and he'll mention that his friend Woody is missing. Offer to find Woody for him. Also, go to the northwest and enter the big building. Talk to the ghoul there, and he'll offer to fix up one of your weapons for finding a three-step plasma transformer. Right now, get the speed loader for the .44 magnum pistol that you might have; another option is to upgrade the ammo magazine for the assault rifle. After you've gotten your upgrade, leave for Vault City.

When you go to Vault City, rest until 8:00 AM (unless the time is no later than 6:00 PM) and enter Downtown. Go in Valerie's repair shop, and pick up the Super Tool Kit. Next, head to the corrections center and talk to Stark; tell him that you've scouted the area. He'll give you some money and you'll receive some experience as well. Go to the City Council to the north.

When you enter the Council, go in the main Council building and talk to Councilman McClure (he should be in the left wing of the building). Talk to him, introduce yourself, and ask about the part for Gecko's power plant. Tell him that Lynette won't make you a citizen even if you fix the power plant problem.

# Give Festus the Hy-Mag and convince him to install it.

# Go to Skeeter and give him the tool kit for the fuel cell controller. Steal the tool kit from him afterwards.

;Quest Experience/Reward Table

* Tell Festus to fix the reactor: 4250 xxp

** (optionally install it yourself manually: 4000 xp)

** (optionally install it yourself via computer: 4500 xp)

* Give Skeeter the tool kit: 250 xp, fueel cell controller

* Give Skeeter the second plasma transfoormer: 350 xp, weapons upgrade

When you enter Gecko, go to the nuclear plant and talk to Festus; convince him to install the Hy-Mag. If your efforts are fruitless, save the game in a different slot, and enter the nuclear reactor. Go to the red coolant valve and use the Hy-Mag there. It'll take a few tries to get it to work. You'll lose a lot of hit points because of the intense radiation there. If you've got a high enough science skill, you can use the computer terminal to fix the reactor. This is what you do:

# Add a command

# List programs

# Delete all commands

# Execute program

# Back

# Logoff

# Amplify plutonium-gamma shield

# Deharmonize neptunium impeller

# Calibrate uranium-rod driver

# Set voltage on saturn-class capicitor

# Test jupiter-wave compiler

# Install hydroelectric magnetosphere regulator

After it is successfully installed, save the game. Also, talk to Festus again, and get the optimization data for Gecko's power plant. You can also go and talk to the ghoul who handles the storage and barter some ammo for another 3-step Plasma Transformer.

Also, go to the north end and talk to Skeeter. Give the tool kit to him for the fuel cell controller. Save the game and successfully steal the tool kit. Give Skeeter the plasma transformer, and he can upgrade another one of your weapons. Save, and head for Vault City.

If you've looked closely, there's a working computer in the reactor control room. You can chat with an Enclave guard (talking head and all) - it's a very humorous conversation. Here are the steps you'll need to take:

# init.

# init gen maint seq

# load [...]

# Tell Wallace that Skeev was forgering citizenship papers. He'll get arrested.

# Go to the City Council, and McClure will make you a citizen.

# Talk to Phyllis in the Vault City Vault.

# Optimize the power-plant data in the Vault.

# Offer to scout NCR for Stark.

;Quest Experience/Reward Table:

* Turn in Skeev to Wallace: Free Day Passs

* Tell McClure that you've fixed the nucclear plant: Citizenship for Vault City

* Tell Phyllis to explore the outside woorld: 300 xp

* Tell Phyllis that radiation can cause  sterility or chromosomal damage: 300 xp

* Go out with Phyllis: 300 xp

* Donate sperm to Vault City: 100 xp

* Repair the Vault City ventilation systtem: 100 xp, 50 micro fusion cells

* Use the Vault City Learning Terminal:  350 xp

When you go to Vault City, enter the customs building, and talk to Wallace. Tell him that Skeev is involved in illegal practices, and show him the fake citizenship papers. Skeev will be dealt with, and you'll receive a free day pass. Enter the city afterwards.

Once you get in the city, go to the City Council, and talk to McClure. Tell him that you have repaired Gecko's Power Plant, and you'll be granted citizenship for Vault City. Head for the Vault City Vault now.

In the Vault, talk to the woman in the blue jumper. Tell her your name, and ask about Vault City. Tell her that you've noticed the similarity of citizens, and encourage her to explore the outside world. If you're male, you can go out with her for some experience and donate sperm to Vault City for some more experience. If you have high Intelligence, you can discuss the pregnancy cycle and tell her about radiation causing sterility and anomalities among the citizens for even more experience. Save, and enter the second floor of the Vault.

;NOTE: If you examined the computer, and have searched the medical database, you can get some extremely important information regarding Combat Implants. With 90% doctor skill, you can access the database. If you want the implants (which are highly recommended), pump up your doctor skill.

Once you're there, go to the far right, and fix the rattling vent using the repair skill for some experience. Also, save the game, and attempt to lockpick all of the doors in the area.

The main objective is to open the locked door to the southwest (the door is next to the one whose power couplings are broken). That room has a Voice Module, which is essential to beating the game. Anyways, attempt to pick the door, and after you open it, save the game. I know for a fact that a lockpick skill of 70% or higher will work. Electronic Lockpicks will also help (they're at the Navarro base). Be sure to loot everything that you can find, however.

Go to the third floor, and to the far left. Use the science skill on the Learning Terminal for some easy experience. Afterwards, make your way towards the right, and use the computer that is talking. Optimize the Power Plant disc. Save, go to the corrections center outside of the Vault, and tell Stark that you'll scout out NCR for him. Now, go to Gecko.
