Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Wrench

Wrench and Bolt are pairs of mercenaries you can hire in Portland and are possible companions. Once known as Betsy, Wrench is an ex-member of the Enclave who can repair your equipment on the fly. She has a Robo-dog Bolt. If you hire Wrench you are also hiring her dog Bolt. She can be found at the Carter Merc company HQ in the town of Promise.

Background
She was sent by the Enclave to save Sandlot; she tried to save them but ultimately felt her efforts were pointless since they all died in the end because they turned against each other. Having failed her mission, she was fired from the Enclave and lost her home, family and boyfriend, only having an Enclave uniform left.

Personality
Unlike Jolene Tate and America, the other female companions in The Frontier, it gradually becomes clear that Wrench is pretty brash, blunt, cynical and jaded about life, as well as helping other people. She becomes annoyed when the Courier keeps trying to get themselves involved in missions, believing they should stop getting themselves mixed in with other people's problems.

She is the daughter of Scavs. Wrench is good at repairing, earning her nickname. According to Kas, Wrench is an "asshole" towards ghouls. However, Wrench claims she is a misanthrope in general.

She does not like the Crusaders, finding them jerks who look down on anyone who doesn't believe in their holy book, and mentions they once tried to kill her due to her uniform.

Quests

 * Dear Hearts and Gentle People: This is Wrench's companion quest, although it can only be done with progression in the NCR campaign.

Other interactions

 * She wants 4000 caps to be hired if the Courier is part of Legion, but 2000 otherwise. However, this can be skipped entirely with 60 barter.
 * The Courier can lie and claim they are not part of Legion to save 2000 caps. She threatens to rip the Courier's genitals apart using Bolt if she finds out they are lying. It is unknown if lying here actually has any consequences later, but it does not seem to as she makes no comments around Ostia.
 * There is special dialogue if America is with the Courier before Wrench is recruited; America thinks Wrench should be punished.
 * If the Courier keeps doing missions, Wrench can pull them aside and talk to them about why their efforts in helping people are futile.
 * If the Courier keeps doing Crusaders missions, Wrench will confront the Courier about how she can't believe they are helping "Bible thumpers sterilize the wasteland" and will leave. None of the dialogue options will make her reconsider.

Behind the scenes

 * She is currently unvoiced in the latest build on Nexus. She was originally voiced by Erin Nicole Lundquist.
 * Wrench was written by NazoTheDark.
