Detailed walkthrough
As you approach the Neil's Shack A super mutant named Neil approaches you and automatically starts a dialogue.

He will tell you that a Super-Mutant named Tabitha has taken over Black Mountain. One of her (see the section Extra Details for female gender of Super Mutants) rules is that no Human is welcome to the area and any that approach should be shot on sight.

At this point you will automatically engage in the quest Crazy, Crazy, Crazy which requires you to enter Tabitha's stronghold and eliminate her chaos.

He will also let you know that the area is patrolled from Super-Mutants at the daytime while at night cloaked Nightkin patrol the roads.

With a Speech-Check of 50 you can convince Neil to assist you in the killing of Tabitha.

If the Speech-Check is successful, Neil will reply if you're able to reach the village at the north of the mountain he will consider you worthy in his eyes and he will decide from there if you have a good enough chance of success against Tabitha. ( This information is irrelevant since there's not factor included,neither temporary companion, only dialogue options )

From Neil's Shack you will have to make your way up the road towards Black Mountain and fight against 3 Patrols of Super-Mutants. On your way up you will find the body of an NCR Trooper. If you pay close attention you will see Bear-Traps exactly at legs of the corpse and all the way up to that Hill. Be careful to avoid Bear-Traps and falling rocks if you choose to take this path.

If you choose to avoid the short-cuts and take the normal path up the road, the 3rd Patrol of Super-Mutants will include also 1 Nightkin.

Be aware that a deathclaw may be waiting at the top of the summit.

Once you reach the summit you have 2 options.
 * You can either talk to Neil and he will help you by misleading the guards at the entrance of the main buildings. This requires you and your companions to move past the guards by stealth since you choose to avoid fighting with them.

Extra Info : When Neil returns from giving false information about "an intruder in the entrance of the Black Mountain" he will start walking back towards his previous location BUT he will not be alone: a number of cloaked Nightkins will be directly behind him and at his side to check out the entrance of the area. Bugs-Section : Please check the Bugs-Sections of this Quest as you will have to face at least 1 of 4 bugs.


 * The second choice is to use a ham-radio which is located under the toppled satellite dish just across from Neil's Position. You have 3 dialogue options:
 * Saying you are a big fan of the Super-Mutants will send the remaining Super-Mutants in the area towards your location.
 * The second option, which requires a Speech check of 75 points (patch 1.01+), will actually do the same thing as Neil's assist does: send the remaining Super-Mutants and Nightkin to the entrance of Black-Mountain, leaving Tabitha alone
 * The third option will do nothing and is there only for those who changed their mind.

NOTE: If you continue past Neil it is possible for a Glitch to occur where Neil will not be able to join you regardless of the speech options always replying "OK. But whatever you have to do, make it quick".

Once you have cleared the whole area at the top of Black Mountain you'll see a building at the left side of the area which is a storage shed. Inside the shed you will find Tabitha's robot named Rhonda. GOOD KARMA CHOICE : If you decide to repair Rhonda, which requires a Science Skill of 60 points, you will "activate" the good ending of this Quest: as you leave from the storage shed, Tabitha will appear, happy to see her Robot repaired and fully functional again. She will not attack you (remaining friendly unless you attack) and you will instantly finish the Quest receiving Good Karma as well.

The second way to finish the Quest is to enter the room where Tabitha is and simply kill her. NO KARMA PENALTY To do this you need first to enter the room which is located at your map or at your compass. If you have a Science Skill of 25 you can hack Tabitha's personal computer (it doesn't have a special name, being simply labeled Terminal). The last entry in this terminal says that Tabitha hides a second key to her personal room (where you can find her) below the stairs leading to her room.

NOTE: Freeing Raul first will cause Tabitha as well as Rhonda to immediately become hostile to the player. (EDIT) Only having Raul in the party will trigger Tabitha and the rest of the mutants to become hostile.

NOTE: If you have high lock pick skill: An alternate, and EASY way to complete this quest(and avoid the majority of supermutants) is to head towards Black Mountain through Hidden Valley. There should be a downed fence area, head that way, and then you should see a building with a satellite-dish in front of you. This is where Tabitha is. Head up the mountain/rocks(try jumping over them) and then lock pick the fence door. Find the key under the stairs, kill Tabitha, quest over. Or if your lockpick skill is not high enough you can simply walk up to the fence around the back door and enter the door through the fence if you approach it at an angle.

NOTE: This quest might be completed without involvement of Neil. Make your way through Supermutants and Nightkins to the storage shed and repair Rhonda. The quest is not marked as started, however when you exit the storage shed you still have a 'good' ending with marking this quest completed.

Bugs

 * Neil the super mutant will tell you to meet him at the top of the hill. He will be located to your left directly after you pass the crater (radiation warning). Talk to him when you see him and don't go running ahead. If you go past him and start killing the Nightkin, he will not help you complete the mission, he will be stuck in the same conversation. If this happens to you, you can still complete the quest.


 * The quest can be completed (but without the exp that should be gained and will appear as a new quest then a completed quest in your pipboy the moment the quest is completed) by not visiting Neil's shack prior to exploring Black Mountain. Once Black Mountain (including the bomb cater down the hill) is clear of all Mutants and Tabitha is dead (releasing Raul makes her spawn), Neil will turn up thanking you for your help... even though you've never met him before!


 * If you wish to peacefully resolve the situation with Tabitha, ensure that you do not let a significant amount of in-game time pass between the moment when you first encounter Rhonda and the moment when you decide to repair her. It is highly likely that Rhonda will disappear from your game if you leave her room and decide to come back at a much later time.


 * If you restore Rhonda and spend too much time in the Storage House, Tabitha may enter as a hostile - if you kill her, you will finish the quest but may be locked inside of the Storage House.


 * If you have completed the quest peacefully and it's bugged but Tabitha has already disappeared, open the console and type prid 000e61a2 to select Tabitha (shes invisible). Then type moveto player to move her to the player then type enable to cause her to respawn, press E on her and the quest should complete normally. Alternatively you can simply type prid 000e61a2 then type kill to kill her and complete the quest the 'bad' way.


 * Save before opening the footlocker under the collapsed satellite dish, as opening it can hard-lock the game.


 * Even if you complete the quest by repairing Rhonda, entering the control room while on the quest Eyesight to the Blind will cause both Tabitha and Rhonda to become hostile to the player if they are nearby.
