Jas Wilkins

Jas Wilkins runs the mess hall in Sloan in 2281.

Background
A native New Californian, Jas is one of the many souls attracted to the gilded glory of New Vegas, trying to reach it in order to make it big and without the Republic's laws and regulations getting in the way. Of course, she could have settled back home, working at one of the farms or mills, but she hates boredom and the strict formalism of the Republic. The deathclaws at Quarry Junction stopped her from reaching the promised land, denying her the freedom she looked for. Not one to sit idle, she took up residence at Sloan, providing the NCR miners with grub. Her passion for cooking exotic foods helps her deal with the dreaded boredom, especially when she can provide an alternative to two hundred year old prepackaged food that people still eat.

However, adventure soon found her, in the form of the Powder Gangers who robbed Sloan of its dynamite stockpile. Ever since, every miner and employee sleeps with a gun nearby.

Interestingly, talent for cooking runs in the family: Jas' great-aunt was Rose, the owner of Rose's Bed and Breakfast and original creator of the deathclaw omelet. Although Jas is eager to try out the recipe for herself, she doesn't have a deathclaw locked up for its eggs - and her aunt can't help, ever since a stranger came into town and shot hers in the eye.

Quests

 * You Gotta Break Out a Few Eggs: She asks you to collect a deathclaw egg for her great-aunt's deathclaw omelet recipe. Upon receipt of the egg, she will give you a wasteland omelet and the recipe for crafting one yourself.

Other interactions

 * The Cannibal and Ghastly Scavenger perks provide bonus dialogue options, scaring Jas and indicating the four strange meat pies in the back are simply misplaced props.

Appearances
Jas Wilkins appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
Jas has an unused script,, that removes her side quest note if she should die and the player hadn't completed it, and has a commented out variable for her to leave Sloan that links to the freeform script for Sloan. From a comment, it can be assumed that Jas would have left Sloan to New Vegas (like she says during dialogue) when she had obtained a Deathclaw egg to complete her omelette and the Deathclaws were cleared out of Quarry Junction. But for one reason or another, the script remained unassigned.
