Old Lady Gibson

Old Lady Gibson runs Gibson Scrap Yard north of Novac in 2281.

Background
She is an elderly woman who lives in a scrapyard with her guard dogs, Basura, Reina, Rey, Colmillo, Fiel, and Audaz.

Quests

 * Come Fly With Me: Old Lady Gibson will give you the Thrust control modules... for a price.
 * Nothin' But a Hound Dog: You may approach Old Lady Gibson about using Rey's brain in Rex. She will ask for 700 caps for this "favor" as he's like one of her family. She says he's getting old and he would probably need to be put down soon anyways. It's free with a Barter check (70). After you kill him, you can use his brain for Rex. Using Rey's brain on Rex will increase Rex's ferocity in battle.
 * ED-E My Love: Talking to Gibson will activate ED-E's first audio log.

Appearances
only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * It appears that if you come to Gibson Scrap Yard and talk to Old Lady Gibson before obtaining ED-E, she will not give you the unique dialogue options required to continue the quest, and ED-E merely ignores her. Use console command to reset the dialogues and continue the quest.
 * Old Lady Gibson may appear outside the door to the solar panel arrays behind Helios One along with her dogs. She may appear in a sitting position as if she were sitting naturally outside her garage. She is still able to be interacted with as usual. (This may cause small damage to the player or any other parties involved as it seems to spawns you, any followers you may have, and Gibson and her dogs on the same spot). She may also be hostile.
 * While storming Black Mountain her and her dog Rey appeared in the middle of a group of Super Mutants and were hostile towards the player, but not the Super Mutants. She may also be killed in the crossfire, so a save is advised if any quests involving her are incomplete.
 * Old Lady Gibson may stop giving you caps for any items that you sell to her. The items will disappear from your inventory, but no caps will appear in their place. The items will not appear in her sell screen or inventory, either.
 * If your quest marker leads you to Helios One Solar Array area it may point you to the ground meaning that you may have killed Old Lady Gibson. The only way to finish the quest is to return to her garage and obtain the thrust control components from one of the containers. Note that the quest marker will be stuck in place and will not show you back to the garage. Simply ignore it, get the components from her garage, and the quest will update from there.
 * At some point later in the game fast traveling to Gibson Scrap Yard may cause there to be a Legionary Assassin sitting outside in Old Lady Gibson's seat. She will still come out in the morning but will stand near the door. If you fast travel away and back again you will find Old Lady Gibson is now seated and the assassin is now standing beside her. When she goes to bed at night he will sit again. It is unknown if he will ever leave.
 * Occasionally, when she is inside eating, Old Lady Gibson will become invisible, but still able to interact with the player.
 * Occasionally when leaving Helios One through the room near Fantastic, you will find Old Lady Gibson and her dogs accompanied by several Mole Rats, all hostile. Loading the auto save will get rid of her however.
 * Before any patches when you ask Old Lady Gibson to repair an item the console will crash and freeze.
 * Occasionally when Old Lady Gibson is killed while sleeping her body will appear on the opposite side of the room.
 * When you talk to her with ED-E, and she activates his enclave data, she will be gone the next time you come to see her. She could just pop up after that at HELIOS 1 but it is not for sure. This can be very annoying because you will not be able to buy or sell anything to her ever again.
 * Sometimes when trying to sell an item to Gibson, your item will be removed from your inventory, but you will not receive the caps. This can cost players lots of money if they don't make sure the caps are being received.
 * If you kill her and steal the key, then take her items from her safe, she will shout "Don't take that!".
 * Old Lady Gibson can appear walking in mid air and then land on the ground between Helios One and Camp Forlorn Hope.
 * If you have ED-E, your game may lock up if you try to use the Lady Killer perk on her.
