Scribe Assistant

 is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas given to you while you have Veronica as a companion.

This perk allows players to craft workbench items through Veronica's dialogue without the need for a workbench. The same skill and item requirements apply. It is the only companion perk that requires actively speaking to the companion to use. The perk effectively allows Energy Weapon users to carry less ammunition by recycling in the field.
