The White Wash

The White Wash is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Find Corporal White by talking to various people around New Vegas.

Detailed walkthrough
Make sure to check Corporal White's things and get Corporal White's Journal entry. When you're done with that, go to the strip and meet Dazzle. She's in the back of Gomorrah in the courtyard. She'll tell you about how White used to always talk about the water treatment plant and mention a man Trent Bascom. Bascom is located on the east side of the Sharecropper Farms.

After talking to Trent, you'll discover that White talked to Lieutenant Romanowski but got nowhere. Make sure to pickpocket the note Note from Corporal White from Trent. Talk to Romanowski and you can pass an intelligence check, but it really doesn't yield anything. White went to talk to Tom Anderson, a Followers of the Apocalypse in New Vegas Westside. Make sure to grab the note Reprimand Recommendation before you leave from Romanowski.

Travel to Westside and head to Casa Madrid apartments. Anderson's apartment is on the north side on the first floor. Talk to him and pass an intelligence check and you'll discover the truth behind White's disappearance.


 * There's a few routes you can go here:


 * Take part of the co-op. 10% or 20% with a 50 Barter skill. You will have to visit Etienne in the store and receive your first payment. There will be 300-400 caps every couple of days.


 * Kill him to receive the note Anderson's Confession. This will gain negative infamy and unless he becomes hostile.


 * Have him turn himself in and receive good karma.

Either way, you have to return to Boyd. Once you do you'll receive the key to the confiscated items which can be any number of things. Be sure to check them out regularly. You'll get 500 xp for it as well.
