Fantastic

"Well, see, we're getting power because the guy running this place is Fantastic."

 is a man living in the Mojave Desert in 2281 and is working as a technician for NCR, however it is obvious that his technical expertise is severely lacking.

Background
Fantastic was recruited by NCR, after they required technical experts for working at HELIOS one power plant. He claimed that he had knowledge of solar power plants as well as a "theoretical degree" in physics so he could get the job.

Quests
When you first talk to him he will freak out thinking you're replacing him. Just tell him you're not replacing him and you can continue with the quest. Or you can say you are and either take bottlecaps from him (30 Speech) or kill him.

You can either help him get the laser running for the NCR, or kill him and use it for yourself.

If the player chooses to kill the NCR in That Lucky Old Sun and leave Fantastic alive, when he/she returns Fantastic is wearing Legion armour and has killed the other scientist. If you talk to him he will say "Hey man, when in Rome".

If the player chooses to side with the NCR, Fantastic can be found at Hoover Dam. He gets a promotion to the position of "God Damn Dam God" in his own words.

Quotes
