Yes Man

Yes Man is an AI that serves as Benny's assistant in 2281, and is an integral part of Benny's scheme to take control of Vegas. He initially inhabits a PDQ-88b Securitron.

Background
Yes Man was originally a generic securitron robot working for House, like all the other securitrons found on the Strip. He was damaged by a pulse grenade, and was recovered by Benny and his chairmen, who then allowed Emily Ortal to examine the securitron for Mr. House's secrets, in exchange for reprogramming him.

The reprogramming was extensive, and resulted in Yes Man being designed to do exactly as he is told (although the lack of restrictions as to who is doing the ordering would later be Benny's undoing). The plan was to dispose of House, plant Yes Man's A.I. in the Lucky 38 mainframe which would then put him (and by extension, Benny) in control of all the other securitrons on the Strip. The next step was to take the Platinum Chip to The Fort, where he would take control of whatever great weapon he suspected Mr. House to have hidden away (as he did not know exactly what was stored in there). The last step in the plan was to use this "weapon" to assume control of Hoover Dam, and New Vegas.

Yes Man is abandoned when Benny flees to the Fort after the Courier pursues him to the Tops, and is soon after found by the Courier.

Yes Man can also be found after Benny has been assassinated by the Courier at the Tops.

Quests

 * Wild Card: Change in Management: The Courier must obtain the platinum chip, assassinate House, and install Yes Man's A.I. in the Lucky 38 mainframe.
 * Wild Card: You and What Army?: The Courier must travel east of the Colorado River to The Fort and activate an army of securitrons locked away in a secret Vault.
 * Wild Card: Side Bets: the Courier can meet with the various tribes of the Mojave and decide who will be spared in the upcoming battle.
 * Wild Card: Finishing Touches: The Courier must convince Julie Farkas to support an independent Vegas, (optionally) protect President Kimball against an assassination attempt and use an override on the El Dorado Substation in order to power the Lucky 38 and allow it to broadcast the securitron operating system upgrade.
 * Wild Card: Ace in the Hole: The Courier meets Yes Man for the first time. As there is no restriction on who Yes Man can help, the Courier can interrogate him to find all the details of Benny's plan, and even continue it themselves.
 * No Gods, No Masters: The Courier must power up the secret Vault, allowing the securitrons within to break out and crush the Legion, before convincing the NCR to leave the Dam to Vegas - by force, if necessary.
