G.I. Blues

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
The King wants to know why Orris is getting lots of money.

The player must hire Orris, and note anything weird in his activity.

Orris fakes attacks on his clients, for easy fame.

If you don't succeed in searching the bodies, than you will need to hire Orris again. after you are near the enterance to the strip he will confront you and call out his personal thugs. They will attack and attempt to kill you. If you succeed you can talk to The King. If not it will reload and send you back.

After, The King asks you, to spy a bit on NCR activities.

Optionally, you can talk to Julie Farkas about the aid service there

NCR is doing suspicious activity at the east of Freeside. The locals are rumouring about free water and food. You get inside the building where they are giving the supplies, and find out that they're just giving food to NCR residents. (If you did the optional part, it turns out that they wanted to talk about things with The King, but the commissary were beaten up.) If you did the optional part, The King will mention that he is willing to strike a deal with the NCR.

Pacer sets up a fight with the NCR, and The King advises you to try and halt the NCR by letting them know he had no part in the beating of the messenger originally sent to strike the aforementioned deal. As you approach the quarrel, you will pass Pacer hiding out in a bus stop while the NCR is unloading on him. You must carefully approach the NCR without holding a weapon (or else they will turn on you) and allow the deal to be considered. Return, then, to The King and reap the reward. In this case, you can get a favor from him: 1. Entrance into the Strip without the credit check, 2. his suit, and induction into the Kings, or 3. 1000 bottle caps.

You'll need to bribe him with 50 caps to get in. once inside the room head over to the man in a white suit. He's the King. Ask him if he has any work for you. Then the king will tell you about a security gaurd named Orris and that he wants to know if he's up to something. Then he give you 200 caps to hire him.

Go through the door that takes you to the other side of Freeside. Then go hire Orris. Follow him. Then he will take you around a back ally and kill 4 people. Then he talks to you. If you have INTELLIGENCE of 6 you can ell him that he fired 3 shots but they're are 4 bodies, or if you have a medicine skill of 30 you can examine the bodies. at this point you can kill Orris,ignore him or if you have a barter of 51 you can get Orris to bribe you. Now report to the king and tell him That Orris fakes attacks to get clients. If you don't succeed in searching the bodies, than you will need to hire Orris again. after you are near the enterance to the strip he will confront you and call out his personal thugs. They will attack and attempt to kill you. If you succeed you can talk to The King. If not it will reload and send you back.

After, The King asks you about some of the NCR activity going on in freeside and asks you to investigate. Go to the Morman Fort and ask the two guys in the tent to the right of the entrance.Optionally, you can talk to Julie Farkas about the aid service there and if you do choose to ask her then you can complete the quest without getting bad Rep. from the NCR.

Go and find the missionary (he's highligted on your map) and tell him your an NCR citizen. He'll ask you some questions to comfirm it (If you played Fallout 1 and 2 it should be no problem. Even without it, Marcus can tell the player about answer 2, and a simple observation or basic knowledge about NCR is enough to answer the third.) The answer to the questions are 1)Tandi 2)Shady Sands  3)A two-headed bear. NOTE: Sometimes the missionary can be glitched and no answers on the last question will be considered correct. He then tells you to go to the train station and give the password HOPE. Then you may enter the building where the food drop is being made.You can observe the drop and return to the King or if you talked to Julie Farkas you can ask why Elizibeth doesn't serve locals and you can tell her that Julie sent you and she'll spill the beans. Now, go back to the Kings and Pacer will confront you about what Julie had told you and you can ignore him or get him to bribe you with 200 caps. Now, go to the King and tell him about the food drop or you can tell him what Elizibeth told you and will realize that it was all a misunderstanding (this is the option to complete the quest without getting bad Rep. from the NCR)

Pacer sets up a fight with the NCR, and The King advises you to try and halt the NCR by letting them know he had no part in the beating of the messenger originally sent to strike the aforementioned deal. As you approach the quarrel, you will pass Pacer hiding out in a bus stop while the NCR is unloading on him. You must carefully approach the NCR without holding a weapon (this includes if you have your fists up. To put your fists down just hold the reload button. If you dont do this they will become hostile) and allow the deal to be considered. Return, then, to The King and reap the reward. Or you can again carfully aproach the NCR and tell them that the King wants to work out a deal and you will then gain fame in Freeside without getting bad Rep. from the NCR. Now, go back to the King and you'll be rewarded with one favor from him. You can get a pass to New Vegas, his suit or 1000 caps.
