Return to Sender

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Detailed walkthrough

 * Speak with Sergeant Reyes at the Camp Forlorn Hope Command Tent to gain this quest.
 * Deliver the radio security upgrade codes to each of the ranger stations.
 * Upgrade Ranger Station Alpha.
 * Upgrade Ranger Station Bravo.
 * Upgrade Ranger Station Charlie. (Possible Bug, see Bugs Section below)
 * Upgrade Ranger Station Delta.
 * Upgrade Ranger Station Echo.
 * Upgrade Ranger Station Foxtrot.

After you complete that you're sent back out to several stations to double-check the intel reports. Once you do that, you have to go to Camp Golf and confront Chief Hanlon about it. During the day he's on the balcony above the entrance to House Resort. If you decide to turn him in he commits suicide after you leave the room and you get 800xp after returning to Reyes. If you keep it a secret he walks off and you get 600xp. Also if you have killed Caesar there is another dialog but it ends up about the same as keeping it a secret.

Question: does your choice actually affect the situation at the dam?

Note: On PC it doesn't seem to matter what you do experience/karma/rep wise. 500exp for either one, and nothing else from Reyes.


 * NOTE* if decide to turn him in after he kills him self he drops his Ranger Sequoia revolver on the ground. To obtain the weapon use the drag option to move it to an unoccupied room. This will allow you to obtain a rather unique weapon that uses the .45-70 gov't ammo.

Behind the scenes
The name is a reference to the Elvis Presley song of the same name.

Bugs

 * If you've talked to Ranger Andy in Novac and gone to find out why Station Charlie is silent, you will be unable to give the codes to anyone because everyone at station Charlie will be dead. If you talk to the Sergeant Reyes you can tell her everyone's dead and work around the issue.
 * Often after delivering a code to a base an extra quest marker will appear on the player's compass but not their wasteland map. The quest marker simply points to Camp Forlorn Hope and can be widely ignored.
 * Sometimes you can turn in the first part of the quest in without bringing the new codes to Ranger Station Foxtrot.
