Mod:Washington's Malevolence/The Cogs That Bind

"The Cogs That Bind" is an unmarked side quest in Washington's Malevolence.

This quest is triggered by speaking to Nate Takei. The quest has almost the same exact setup as Walter's quest in Megaton, where the player fixes leaking pipes and is subsequently rewarded for it. The player can then bring scrap metal to him for a certain amount of caps (25 caps per piece of scrap), or a karma reward.

The leaking pipes are in three locations:


 * The pipes under the crossover bridge near the water treatment plant.
 * Beside the Seaside Tavern, out in the open.
 * Underneath Ralph Moritz's house.

Upon completion of that objective, the player can then begin to bring Nate scrap metal. Nate's response to the player changes depending on the amount of scrap metal the player brings in.

Objectives

 * 1) Fix the leaking pipes around Merideport.
 * 2) Bring scrap metal to Nate for a reward. (Repeatable)

Trivia

 * This quest was really just to give Nate Takei a purpose for existing in Washington's Malevolence.
 * The quest concept and scripts are almost exact copies of the vanilla Fallout 3 quest and scripts, with the quest variables and globals individualized for this quest.
