Ness

Ness is a minor character appearing in Fallout 4.

Other interactions
The meeting with Ness is a random encounter and therefore can occur anywhere, though more likely on roads.

Ness will hire the Sole Survivor as a mercenary to clear Skylanes Flight 1981 of raiders, offering to split the loot. She can be persuaded to increase the amount of caps she rewards you with.

If you question her further on what she is really doing there and pass a speech check, she will tell you that she has been hunting Skylanes flight wrecks for years as the company was involved in illegal smuggling operations before the war.

Appearances
Ness appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * Ness might get pulled into the "Quick test cell" limbo and will become hostile with other NPC in the box with her. Any non-essential NPC may be killed.
 * When helping her clean the plane from monsters,if you leave her waiting to finish a quest then even come back later, she will never speak with the Sole Survivor again even though the quest marker still marks her supposed location. Solution: pickpocketing the note (called "Ness' Lead") from her allows the quest to be completed.
 * Does not work.
 * Works on console, note must be read
 * If encountered near a provisioner, Ness will become hostile towards them, making it difficult or impossible to trigger the quest as dialog cannot be triggered.
 * If the Sole Survivor is with a companion while at the crash site, and the player dismisses them, the companion will become hostile towards Ness and any other gunners nearby.
