Primm Slim

Primm Slim is a protectron in Primm in 2281.

Background
An "authentic cowpoke," Primm Slim is a pre-War RobCo protectron customized by the owner of the Vikki and Vance Casino to act as its official spokesbot. It is an almost inexhaustible source of information about the minor crooks the casino is named after, Primm, and various other spots around the town. Due to a stroke of luck, Slim managed to survive two centuries relatively intact and was restored to working order to continue its vigil over the casino.

Not that he is perfectly intact. A pair of wannabe outlaws hacked into Slim to steal Vance's gun so that they could embark on a life of crime.

Quests

 * My Kind of Town: After Deputy Beagle is rescued from the escaped convicts, Primm Slim can be reprogrammed through a dialogue option (Science 30) or with the application of three fission batteries and four conductors to become the new sheriff of Primm. If he becomes sheriff, Beagle will resign, stating that Slim is guided too much by cold logic and the letter of the law.
 * A Pair of Dead Desperados, I: Activate the gun case at the Vikki and Vance Casino. A message will pop up, saying that it is empty. Talk to Primm Slim and convince him that the contents of the case are missing. Volunteer to find the contents and return it. Retrieving the gun yields no rewards unless one decides to keep Vance's 9mm submachine gun for themselves which similarly holds no penalties from Primm Slim.
