Jas Wilkins

Jas Wilkins runs the Sloan Mess Hall

Background
A native Californian, Jas is one of the many souls attracted to the gilded glory of New Vegas, trying to reach it in order to make it big and without the Republic's laws and regulations getting in the way. Of course, she could have settled back home, working at one of the farms or mills, but she hates boredom and the strict formalism of the Republic. The deathclaws at Quarry Junction stopped her from reaching the promised land, denying her the freedom she looked for. Not one to sit idle, she took up residence at Sloan, providing the NCR miners with grub. Her passion for cooking exotic foods helps her deal with the dreaded boredom, especially when she can provide an alternative to two hundred year old prepackaged food that people still eat.

However, adventure soon found her, in the form of the Powder Gangers who robbed Sloan of its dynamite stockpile. Ever since, every miner and employee sleeps with a gun nearby.

Her talent for cooking runs in the family: Jas' great-aunt was Rose, the owner of Rose's Bed and Breakfast and original creator of the deathclaw omelet. Although Jas is eager to try out the recipe for herself, she doesn't have a deathclaw locked up for its eggs - and her aunt can't help, ever since a stranger came into town and shot her deathclaw in the eye.

Behind the scenes
Jas has an unused script,, that removes her side quest note if she should die and the player character hadn't completed it. She has a commented out variable for her to leave Sloan that links to the freeform script for Sloan. From a comment, it can be assumed that Jas would have left Sloan to New Vegas when she had obtained a deathclaw egg to complete her omelet and the deathclaws were cleared out of Quarry Junction.
