For the Republic, Part 2

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
Help the NCR clean up New Vegas by investigating and eliminating problems in the Mojave Wasteland. First of all, the Great Khans must be eliminated and/or convinced to side with the NCR. Next, Colonel Moore believes the Omertas are up to something big because of gun smuggling. You must extinguish the problem by talking to all of the top men and women in the Omerta family or you can just kill all of them then lie to moore even if you do not have 70 speech you will still unlock next part and complete that part. After all of this, you must eliminate Mr. House. Once Mr. House is taken care of, you can either destroy the Brotherhood of Steel, or you can get them to sign a treaty with NCR, which will give you the option (if you're following Yes Man) to have the Brotherhood of Steel participate in the final battle for Hoover Dam. Lastly, President Aaron Kimball will be performing a speech at Hoover Dam. If your speech and explosives or repair are 50 or above, you're able to find a bomb on the Vertibird and save President Kimball. If you do not meet these requirements, then you can simply pickpocket a detonator from the assassin disguised as an NCR engineer. After Kimball has landed he will attempt to run away but not before killing a ranger with his combat knife. You should be able to acquire the "idolized" status with the NCR if completed right.

Detailed Walkthrough
After completing the first two NCR quests, (Things That Go Boom and Kings' Gambit), head to Hoover Dam.

The Great Khans
This portion of the quest leads you through Oh My Papa (that is if you haven't already done that quest by this point). If you kill Papa Khan and then talk to Regis you can ally the Khans with the NCR.
 * Travel to the Great Khans base in Red Rock Canyon.
 * Enter the building marked on the map and speak to the leader, Papa Khan.
 * The player learns that the Khans have an alliance with Caesar's Legion. As the player's orders were to destroy the Khans if they were allied with the Legion, the player must now deal with them.
 * The player can get the quest Oh My Papa by speaking with Regis and take a non-violent approach, this alone will not complete this portion of the quest.
 * The player can attack Papa Khan in the grand hall. The other Khans present will become hostile. The player must then kill at least 15 other Great Khans to complete the quest.
 * The player can kill Papa Khan silently after talking to Regis about the NCR, and, if undetected by the other Khans, you can speak to Regis again afterward. The player can kill him silently with a silenced weapon (or melee) while sneaking, for instance, or picking the lock to his room (hard) while Papa Khan is sleeping, or using the Mr. Sandman perk. The player can also simply wait until papa khan opens the door, walk in and wait till around 2am for easier access to his room.
 * Return to Colonel Moore at Hoover Dam and inform her they are either broken up or are willing to ally with the NCR.

The Omertas
This portion of the quest leads you through How Little We Know,

Colonel Moore will inform you about the Omertas and send you to find out why they have been so silent lately.

Cachino

 * Secretary (Liza O'Malley) at the NCR Embassy will direct you the player to see the receptionist at Gomorrah.
 * The player must speak to the receptionist, then to Cachino. After speaking with him, the player must find information to use against him.
 * Cachino's journal can be pickpocketed (from Cachino) with a high-enough Sneak (or using a Stealth Boy.)
 * Cachino's journal can also be taken from Cachino's desk in his room.
 * By talking to the receptionist, the player may obtain a key to Cachino's room for a fee of 300 caps, free with a Strength check of 8, or 200 caps with a barter check of 55.
 * Confront Cachino about the journal's contents. He will tell the player information about the Omertas and recommend that the player speak to Troike or Clanden.
 * By passing a Barter check of 60, the player can convince Cachino to pay 200 caps. (The player can tell Cachino to pay 100 caps in addition, afterward.)

Troike

 * Speak to Troike and mention Cachino.
 * Convince Troike to help you take down the Omertas
 * If the player can pass a Speech check, the player can lie to Troike to convince him (This will cause a loss of karma)
 * Troike will tell the player that he cannot help until his debt is settled with Big Sal
 * By passing a Barter check of 45, or a Speech check of 53, the player can convince Big Sal to settle the debt
 * Another option is to go to Big Sal's Office above the bar in 'Brimstone' and hack either the terminal, or pick the lock on the safe.
 * Troike will eventually suggest using Thermite to destroy the Omertas' weapons cache.
 * By passing a Speech check, the player can convince Troike to plant the Thermite. He will succeed, but he is caught by the Omertas and is killed.
 * Otherwise, Troike will give the player the thermite to plant themselves. The thermite is ignited using the detonator on the wall near the door to the weapons cache.
 * Return to Cachino to report the destruction of the weapons

The bosses

 * The player will now be informed that they will have to "deal with" the bosses of Gommorah's.
 * By passing a Speech check of 80, the player can convince Cachino to take care of the bosses himself
 * Otherwise, the player will be supplied a sawed-off shotgun to aid Cachino in a battle against the bosses.
 * By passing a Speech check, the player can convince the bosses not to become hostile
 * Also by passing a Speech check and then lying, the player can convince the bosses to attack each other.
 * Once the bosses have been dealt with, return to Moore.

Mr. House
(All options result in Negative Karma.)
 * Colonel Moore tells the player she wants Mr. House out of the picture.
 * Return to Lucky 38 and take the elevator the penthouse level.
 * Use a terminal to the left of Mr. House to open the antechamber. To do this you need 75 science, the Lucky 38 VIP keycard (which can be found on Chief Hanlon's desk in Camp Golf or in H&H Tools Factory), or the Platinum Chip. Doing so will result in all the securitrons in Mr. House's suite becoming hostile.
 * Doing so will cause you to fail the quest The House Always Wins
 * Enter the antechamber, and activate the terminal near the elevator to unlock the elevator to the control room
 * Active the terminal in the control room, and choose to "Unseal LS chamber" to expose Mr. House's body.
 * Go behind the terminal and speak with Mr. House.
 * Return to the control room terminal and select an option. Doing so will result in failing The House Has Gone Bust!.
 * Disable Cerebral Interface: disconnect Mr. House, but keep him alive.
 * Kill Mr. House.
 * If you sneak attack Mr. House.
 * Take the elevator back to Mr. House's suite and return to Moore at the Hoover Dam. The player will receive 200 XP and gain NCR fame. (The securitrons will no longer attack you when you return to the penthouse.)

Brotherhood of Steel

 * Travel to the Hidden Valley bunker at Hidden Valley.

Positive reputation with the Brotherhood of Steel

 * If the player has completed Still in the Dark, stayed on good terms with the Brotherhood, and McNamara remains Elder, a truce can be signed between the Brotherhood and the NCR. Go to McNamara and tell him the NCR wants them destroyed, he will offer a Truce. Return to Colonel Moore and speak to her about the offered truce. Doing so will complete the quest and begin You'll Know It When It Happens, but will earn the player infamy with the NCR.


 * It is possible that you will not be able to initiate dialog with Elder McNamara if you are in between Still in the Dark and Eyesight to the Blind. If this is the case you may need to exit the bunker and wait 2-3 days in order to be able to get any other dialog than McNamara being 'too busy to talk'.
 * If you have tried above solutions and still lack results, you can open the console (using the tilde or "~" key) and enter this command: set "000E327C".LockdownLifted to 1. This will force the lockdown to be lifted and he can then start dialog again.


 * If Hardin becomes Elder, there is no peaceful resolution to this portion of the quest.


 * If you talk the BoS into siding with the NCR, Moore will complain and you will gain some NCR Infamy, though not enough to lower it a level.

No previous reputation with the Brotherhood of Steel

 * If the player has not interacted with the Brotherhood of Steel, they must go through an orientation by convincing a ranger in an adjacent bunker to leave, or enter the bunker with Veronica in your party.
 * Waiting until late at night will cause several brotherhood paladins to spawn at which point a player with even a moderately high sneak skill can pick one of the paladins pockets to acquire a keycard to the bunker (no karma loss will be suffered). Putting on a stealth boy before talking to the paladin at the entrance will mean he initiates dialogue with the character anyways. However, refusing to hand over the players weapons will turn the brotherhood hostile but the paladins will not see the player upon closing dialogue so long as the players in sneak. Quickly heading down to L2 of the bunker and killing one of the Brotherhood scribes quietly will allow the player to use the scribe's robes as a disguise which automatically makes Brotherhood rep. neutral. Depending on the players sneak they can go onto either pickpocket or kill all NPCs necessary for acquiring all the cards for the self destruct sequence.
 * Note that the above tactic becomes viable due to the fact that while the self destruct sequence is active the brotherhood will not fire upon the player since they are still disguised as a scribe. Also note that certain higher up brotherhood members (i.e. Elder) will see through the players disguise regardless.
 * If Veronica is in your party the Brotherhood will not be hostile even if you are dressed as an NCR member
 * If the player warns the Ranger in any way about the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood will become hostile and enter the bunker to kill the player.
 * If reputation with the NCR is too low, the Ranger will not talk to the player, and the player will either have to take all the supplies and smash the radio in the bunker that the ranger is staying in or kill the ranger. Make sure you gather your weapons from the locker in the bunker. You can also rig his radio to explode.

Find the keycards
After you have gained the Brotherhood's trust, you can enter their bunker. Once you have access to the bunker, you need to steal 3 keycards from 3 main personnel in order to get the password for the self-destruct sequence or have a Science skill of 100, at the same time you can look for a bunker key for your escape later on. It is suggested that you save before stealing from each character in order to avoid killing for the keycard if they catch you stealing. You need to go level L2 of the bunker, where you can find Elder McNamara, Head Paladin Hardin( Or Head Paladin Ramos based on your choices) and Head Scribe Taggart. Head right, where you can find McNamara, who is the easiest to steal from and can be stolen as he is sitting in his chair. Hardin can be found to the left of this room in one of the three bedrooms. He will be in the room sleeping, standing, or on his computer. Crouch, wait until you are hidden and then steal his key card. Go back towards the door to L1 and go all the way up the left hallway this time. At the end is the self destruction room, where you will also find Taggart. For Taggart, you may need a stealth boy as the only time you can steal his card is when the girls view is blocked by the tower in the middle of the room. If Cassidy is your follower then she will talk to the girl in the room, when she is distracted you can swipe his card. However if all cards aren't collected, access may be denied.

If you are unable or do not want to waste time picking the cards and your science skill is very high you can hack the very-hard terminal to start the self-destruct sequence. Science (100)

Activate the self-destruct sequence
Once you have all key cards, return to the room where Taggart is and obtain the password from the the Override Code Generator terminal(green) next to the actual self-destruct terminal(blue). Now use the code on the self-destruct terminal to destroy the bunker. After activating the self-destruct sequence with the password, you will become a villain in the eyes of the Brotherhood. It is always good to have stealth boys keyed to a fast action slot, but you may not have to do too much fighting to get out if you set charges of C-4 along your escape route. Before beginning the sequence be sure to pickpocket the guards protecting the Elder on the other side of L2 and steal a key so that you are able to leave the bunker. If you do not steal a key, you must lockpick the final door (Lockpick skill of 100). Now begin the sequence and make your way to L1.

After leaving the bunker, the bunker will explode and there is a chance that there will be 5 paladins waiting to kill you before you can return to Colonel Moore.

Alternative
Alternatively, you can kill everyone inside the bunker, after which you will get the message that the quest is complete. An easy way to clear level one is to go to the office on the left and kill Paladin Ramos. Then with a science skill of 75 or more, hack the computer on the wall and set the turrets to attack registered Brotherhood personel. This will take care of almost all of the people on level one. Continue to level two and finish off the rest.

Protecting President Kimball
Moore wants you to talk to Ranger Grant about protecting President Kimball during his visit to Hoover Dam. You must now complete You'll Know It When It Happens, and return to Moore accepting to fight for the NCR. A marker will say to go directly to the stage after talking to Moore. If you stay on the stage, or go near the veteran rangers, NCR will shoot at you (even with "full access"). Your options are as follows:

1.Stay near the back until a suspicious character enters the area, then crouch behind him. Here you have the option to pick pocket him and see that he has a fail safe explosive device. The player has the option to then take the device back to Grant. Once this is done Grant will tell you that his rangers will deal with him, however when the rangers approach the man, he pulls out a combat knife and immediately kills one causing panic (If you ask Grant additional questions, prior to going outside and waiting for the president, you can have Grant give you full access which allows you to go to the Helicopter Pad and draw and even use your Weapon. You may need to be Idolized by NCR prior for this to work). If you leave this man alone during the speech then legion snipers will kill the ranger stationed in the first tower[the one behind the president], and attempt to assassinate the president, kill them and then use the radio to inform Ranger Grant about the attempt, he will then call off the speech. As the president is being evacuated he will be attacked by a legion member disguised as an engineer, he must be killed before he reaches the president as he can kill Kimball in a single hit. 2. As the president arrives, you can persuade the guard (Speech 50) to go onto to the helipad. If you have previously been granted full access to all areas by Ranger Grant a speech check isn't necessary. Once the Vertibird arrives, you can search it. Doing so you will find a bomb (repair or explosives 50) which you defuse. After telling Ranger Grant of this, he calls the speech off, shoots the engineer responsible for planting the bomb and gets the president back on the Vertibird. This completes the quest.

3. Talk to the suspicious engineer who will stand to the left of the crowd near the sandbags. He will turn hostile and start running. By then you can shoot him.

4. If Rex is a companion, then after talking to Ranger Grant go the roof to await the presidents arrival. After the president lands and leaves the roof the engineer will approach the vertibird and Rex may or may not growl. Talk to the engineer before he gets to the vertibird and choose the dialogue options “My dog here doesn't like you” and “Maybe I should tell the MP's”, which turns the engineer hostile, forcing an immediate evacuation of the president and completing the mission.

Bugs

 * If you talk to Regis about his opinion on NCR the objective "Talk to Colonel Moore about a Great Khans/NCR alliance" is added, however there is no speech option with Moore regarding this.
 * If you already killed Cachino, this quest may not be completable. If Cachino was killed, but the mission for the bosses was not finished you can help the bosses get guns and chlorine gas. Once that is finished you need to pass a speech check with Moore convincing her that the Omertas have something planned against New Reno.
 * Killing Mr. House using the sterilize option causes endless notifications to appear of Wild Card: Change in Management's "Return to Yes Man".
 * After talking to Colonel Moore and agreeing to check on the Omertas, if you then complete How Little We Know before speaking to the women in the embassy the quest marker will continually point towards her despite the fact she has nothing to say.
 * Upon completing How Little We Know without speaking to the woman in the embassy, For The Republic Part 2 will continuously say that you need to report back to Colonel Moore about killing (or creating a treaty) with the Khans. However you cannot talk to Colonel Moore upon returning to Hoover Dam.
 * FIX: type in the console - quest will be started over, but will just talk through the dialogs and be able to continue the quest as normal.
 * Upon entering the Bunker to deal with the Brotherhood of Steel one paladin stops you and presents a fight or surrender situation. If you surrender, you will have to hand over your items (If Veronica is not in Party).  The items might not be given back to you, and simply vanish from the game.
 * Sometimes when going to speak to the ranger to start protecting the president he will randomly turn hostile and all missions with the NCR will fail.
 * You can not access the computer to unlock the elevator if you have companions (tested with ED-E and Arcade). Removing them from the party fixes this glitch.
 * Sometimes, if the player killed the Great Khans, a Great Khan will, for no known reason, spawn in Moore's office, the NCR will quickly kill the Khan but you will be left unable to talk to Moore.
 * After completing the Omerta mission and receiving the Mr. House mission if you walk back through the door to the Hoover Dam Power Plant 01 the Xbox 360 may freeze and go to a black screen.
 * If any Great Khans are left alive after the player tells Colonel Moore they are dead (as only fifteen must be killed to tell her this), any further Khans killed in Red Rock Canyon will re-add the objective telling you to inform Moore of the Khans' destruction. This, in turn, will lead to the objective about taking out Mr.House, but the player will then be unable to inform Moore about House being dealt with a second time if he was dealt with and Moore was told before the second "elimination" of the Khans.
 * Even after the peace treaty with the Brotherhood of Steel, the NCR may randomly attack you if you have BoS power armor on.
 * When starting the mission to protect President Kimball, make sure there aren't any Great Khans outside. Although they dont show up as enemies, when the mission restarts after "your suppose to get some rest" everyone will begin shooting at the Khan. You will be froze in place. So take car of any wandering Great Khans outside.
