Coming Out of Her Shell

Coming Out of Her Shell is a side quest in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Talk to Dr. Dala.
 * 2) Bring Dr. Dala a teddy bear, pass a Speech check, or use Lady Killer/Cherchez La Femme to allow her to "open up" to you.

Detailed walkthrough
Once all the members of the Think Tank have stopped bickering with each other, you have the option to seek each of them out and talk to them. Dr. Dala can be found on the left side of the Think Tank, and when talking to her it becomes clear that's she's more than unusually interested in your biorhythms. Selecting all three of the actions, in any order, will complete this portion of the quest and will suitably satisfy the doctor. Once that's done Dala will present you with a gift, ammunition, and tell you to come back later; as she claims she is a "little sensitive" right now.

Afterwards, you can come back once a day for another "breather", subsequently repeating the walkthrough of actions will suffice and no additional dialogue options are required to complete again.

Behind the scenes
The quest name is a reference to the idiom "coming out of your shell" used when someone stops being shy and withdrawn and becomes more friendly and sociable.
