Find Michael, Horton's son.
Horton Sr. is standing on the street in front of Mayor Ascorti's building (the man in the red shirt). He asks you to find his missing son and describes his tattoo. After accepting the quest and accessing the global map northeast of Redding, you should encounter the Ruined City randomly. Check the bodies and you'll be able to identify him. This quest doesn't award any XP, only moral satisfaction.
Compromise McGrew. +15 karma
You can get the mission from Marge, the owner of the Kokovif Mine, if you give her the chip. You'll have to fabricate dirt on Dan: go to his office, a building just north of the center of the "Mine Entrance" location, and talk to Deputy McGrew. He's in debt, so we offer to earn some money by writing a note about Dan consorting with bandits and slipping it into his pocket. Next, inform the sheriff about the mine owner's connection to the bandits and receive the task of searching McGrew. Return to the mine office and search Dan, finding the note. He then asks to be released, which he does. Afterwards, visit Marge and receive your reward.
Place an NCR post in the city. 300xp, +15 karma
The mission can be obtained from Marge after completing her second quest. First, we head to the sheriff, who's in a building just southeast of the center of the "Town Center" location, and get permission to set up an outpost, explaining that it will better protect the caravans. After agreeing, Earl tasks us with finding a location for the outpost. We visit the mayor, who promises to allocate a couple of rooms for a patrol, which we inform Marge of.
Compromise Dr. Johnson. 500xp
The mission can be obtained from Marge after completing her third quest. If the issue with Rooney's widow is resolved peacefully, she will assist in this mission. We visit the widow and offer her a job as a healer, but this requires a license from the mayor, and we must spread rumors of her talent. We go to Mayor Ascorti and ask him for a medical license for the widow in gratitude for her handling of the problem that Dr. Johnson had failed to address. We dispel the mayor's doubts by arguing that competition will only improve the doctor's services. Next, we solve the problem of attracting clients (+500xp): inform Lou, the owner of the Malamute Salon, about the new healer and ask her to spread rumors of the widow's miracles for $200. Then we learn from her about Dr. Johnson's latest patient, who is in a tent to the east, near the city exit. We find him and ask him for his opinion on the doctor. The following options are available:
- We wring the patient's neck.
- We give the patient money for treatment in exchange for a story that the doctor is incompetent.
- We convince the patient that in other cities he would have been quickly cured, and the guy promises to “make Dr. Johnson famous.”
Afterwards, we complain to Lou that the doctor's patient is dying—rumors have been spread. We return to the client for the reward.
Stop the drug supply in Redding
The mission can be obtained from Marge after completing her fourth task.
Escort Marge out of town without killing her. 500xp, -60 karma
The mission can be obtained from Dan McGrew, the owner of the Morning Star Mine, if you give him the chip. Looking for a way to drive Marge out of town, we head to the Malamute Salon, located in the north of the Downtown area. We have a heart-to-heart talk with Lou, the owner, about Marge and learn that the mine workers receive jet fuel from Lou in limited quantities. We then persuade Lou to provide Marge's miners with unlimited quantities of the drug, promising to provide a cheap jet fuel, which we negotiate with McGrew to supply. We discuss the miners' problem with Lou again – Marge is threatening to fire the workers because of her drug addiction, but we promise them that McGrew will provide them with jobs at his mine.
Convince the mayor to sell the McGrew mine. 250xp, -30 karma.
You can receive the mission from Dan McGrew after completing his first assignment. Head to Mayor Ascorti at the casino in the "Town Center" location and convince him to sell the Kokovif Mine to Dan on a 50/50 profit split, which you inform McGrew of.
Compromise Dr. Johnson. 400xp, -80 karma
You can receive this mission from Dan McGrew after completing his second assignment. We fabricate dirt on the doctor through Sheriff Earl Marion in the "Downtown" location. From the sheriff, we learn that Johnson promised to give Earl some medicine for his leg. We share this information with McGrew, and he asks us to drop the medicine off on the way so we can spoil it. We head to the doctor at the hospital in the west of the "Downtown" location, retrieve the medicine, and bring it to McGrew, who slips a nasty drug into it. We then bring the spoiled medicine to the sheriff, and after the treatment, the poor guy is violently sick – Johnson's reputation is ruined, which we inform the client.
An alternative option is to return to the doctor with the poisoned medicine and tell him about McGrew's plan (+30 karma), but the task will fail in this case.
Compromise the mayor of Ascorti
The mission can be obtained from Dan McGrew after completing his third task.
