Saving (or Savaging) Sergeant Teddy

Saving (or Savaging) Sergeant Teddy is an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Talk to Melody, a child slave at Fortification Hill.
 * 2) Find Legionnaire Antony and agree to fight in the Legion Arena for the bear. This can be avoided with a good reputation with the Legion or the Animal Friend perk. You may also pickpocket the teddy from Antony or kill him.
 * 3) Return to Melody.
 * 4) Tear the bear in half in front of her, resulting in Legion fame and bad karma.
 * 5) Give her the bear, for good karma.

Behind the scenes

 * It is possible that the two ways you can finish this quest is a reference to a quest in Fallout 2 for Curtis, where you have to recover his Mr. Nixon doll. You can give it to him or rip it up in front of him.

Bugs

 * Prior to patch 1.2.0.314, the Legion mongrels could have 1600 hit points and be very time consuming to defeat.
 * If there is a fight at the fort, occasionally Melody will flee to the fort's entrance. Along with all other Characters not including the Courier can use an invisible door and end up on the other side of the gate. The other side of the gate is in the same cell as the forts interior and the blip will appear on the compass. While the npc is there you can see them by looking through two holes in the walls on either side of the gate.
