Martha Rastello

Martha Rastello is the second in command of the Water Merchants in 2161.

Background
Referred to as the master merchant, Martha Rastello helps directly manage the affairs of the Water Merchants within the Hub, her authority just under the head of the Water Merchants, Daren Hightower.

Other interactions
Upon interacting with the master merchant, Rastello will reveal to the Vault Dweller that there is a functional water chip within Necropolis, and sends them on their way. Should the Vault Dweller come close to running out of time to retrieve said water chip, for 2000 caps, she will commission a caravan of Water Merchants to deliver water to Vault 13, which will extend the time limit of the quest by another 100 days (with a sufficient Barter skill, she can be haggled down to 1000 caps, or even to 500).

Appearances
Martha Rastello appears only in Fallout.

Bugs
After handing in the water chip to Jacoren, it is possible to commission a second round of water caravans. Doing so will award 1000 XP, unmark the Find the Water Chip quest and attach a "days remaining" note to the Vault Dweller's Pip-Boy 2000. This will effectively reset the results of the Find the Water Chip quest; the citizens of Vault 13 will act as if the water chip has not been delivered and, after the time limit expires, the quest will end in failure.
