Jack (Boomer)

Jack is a Boomer living at Nellis Air Force Base in the Nellis hangars

Background
Jack is one of the younger Boomers at Nellis. He is the apprentice of the aging mechanic Loyal and spends a great deal of his time in the Nellis hangars helping his boss. In his free time, Jack looks out into the wasteland with his binoculars in the hope of catching a glimpse of Janet, one of the Crimson Caravan Company's employees whom he has a crush on.

Quests

 * Young Hearts: Jack tasks the Courier with finding the redhead who works for the Crimson Caravan Company, Janet.
 * Volare!: Jack is involved in bringing "the lady" to the surface, giving the Courier the Rebreather to help retrieve "the lady" from the bottom of Lake Mead.

Effects of player's actions

 * If giving Jack scrap metal, it increases the fame with Nellis. If giving enough scrap metal (seems to be fifty units total), one gains instant idolized status with Nellis Air Force Base. One can steal scrap metal from all around the Nellis AFB (obviously don't get caught) and Jack will accept the stolen scrap metal as if it weren't stolen; there is approximately sixteen to eighteen scrap metal pieces in the Hangars alone, making it a bit easier to reach idolized status.

Other interactions

 * If the Courier gets Jack’s crush killed by the artillery bombardment outside Nellis before starting the quest for the bomber, Jack will only say "Go to hell outsider" when spoken to, unless the player character passes a speech check. If this is not possible, the Courier will be unable to obtain the rebreather. If the player character follows this dialogue, however, Volare! will be somewhat more challenging to complete.

Appearances
Jack appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
