Anywhere I Wander

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Approach the Techatticup Mine to initiate the quest with Private Renolds. The quest may not trigger under some сircumstances, likely having high Caesar's Legion reputation. Private Renolds is at the bottom of the old road. Away from Techatticup Mine he is actually a member of the opposite side.

Enter the mine and navigate it to reach the Upper Cavern where two NCR soldiers are being held captive.

Get the Jail Key from Alexus by either killing him or steling it. Alternatively lockpick the jailcages.

Kill (with sneak) or walk past the Caesar's Legion soldiers in the Upper Cavern and free or kill the NCR soldiers. Once you`ve freed the captives you will be attacked you can simply run out of the mine so you don`t get a negative reputation. If you get followed run back over to Private Renolds and let him kill them for you as to not get yourself a bad rep with Caesar's Legion

Return to Private Renolds to complete the quest.

Quest Start
Somewhere in between Camp Nelson and Techatticup Mine you will be approached by a wheezing Private Renolds. He explains to you that his squad was ambushed by Caesar's Legion and "That bastard Alexus" was the one who was apparently responsible. There are two possible responses to begin this quest. The first is letting him know you'll take a look. The second is to say, "You sure they're still alive?" This will give you the option of a Barter check of 45 to gain more of an "encouragement" in cap form.

Rescue the NCR hostages from the Techatticup Mine
A few hundred yards up the road, outside of the Techatticup Mine itself, two Legion Recruits are found patrolling the slightly elevated entrance. You can walk by them or fight them. Whichever is decided be sure to look for, and enter, the scarred door to the Techatticup Mine. There are a couple options in pursuing the freedom of the prisoners. The first is if you are shunned or vilified by Caesar's Legion, then they will attack you on sight. You will have to fight your way to the lower cavern to locate Alexus. The second option is if you are liked by Caesar's Legion then you can walk on through to Alexus and you can try reasoning with him, but in the end you can either kill him or pickpocket the Techatticup storage key. The final way is to simply pick the locks to the cells.


 * Note: As soon as the gates to the prisoners open, the legion soldiers will attack. However, if the Legion are neutral or like you then will not attack.
 * Also you do not have to chaperon either prisoner on the way out, but if both prisoners die you will fail the quest.

Report Back to Private Renolds
Private Renolds is back on the road where you left him. Inform him of your completion and he will tell you of Camp Forlorn Hope (which is nearby) and will reward you 100xp
