Bugs
There appears to be a bug in this quest where you are unable to talk to either Ruby Nash and Fitz about the food supplies. This is due to a simple scripting error, which can be resolved through using the toolset. In the dialogue sections of Ruby Nash and Fitz there can be found the topics of food supplies for Camp McCarran (VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic000 - only one needed to change for Ruby to work and VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic006 - ...009 for Fitz). In there you only need to change every comparison-value referencing to the QuestVariable 'VFreeformMcCarran',iMessHallStatus (Value 2.00) from '==' to '>='. after that you only need to save the new modded file to your ...Fallout New Vegas\data\ folder and activate the new .esp file in your launcher and talk to each one of them and it will work fine.
