Derek Pacion

Derek Pacion is a kid with a red baseball cap. He walks up and down the road in Canterbury Commons. Asking him about the Mechanist and AntAgonizer will reveal that Joe Porter knows the AntAgonizer's real name. This information can be used in a speech check to get the AntAgonizer to peacefully surrender her costume. If the player finishes the quest, he will complain about how boring it is in Canterbury Commons

It is possible to pickpocket him. He is carrying a copy of Grognak the Barbarian and a Front Gate Key, which unlocks the front gate to the Republic of Dave.

A conversation he has with Joe Porter hints that he has a crush on Machete, but is hesitant to talk to her about it. If all of Canterbury Commons is murdered by random encounter creatures, the reward for the quest is given by Derek who, like all children in Fallout 3, cannot die. After the quest, Derek does become rather useless and is best left alone, especially if radscorpions killed the entire town. If that happens though, it's a great opportunity to raid the Roe's house with much less bad karma. Just make sure to grab Roe's Key.
