Martha Rastello

Martha Rastello is the second head of the Water Merchants in 2161.

Background
Martha Rastello apparently manages the affairs of the Water Merchants in The Hub, although the head of the Water Merchants is Daren Hightower. She is referred to as a master merchant.

Other interactions
She will tell the Vault Dweller that there is a water chip in Necropolis. Also, if you are running out of time to retrieve the water chip, for 2000 caps she will commission a caravan of water merchants to deliver water to Vault 13, which will extend the time limit of the quest by 100 days. Players with a sufficient barter skill can haggle her down to 1000 caps.

Appearances
Martha Rastello appears only in Fallout.

Bugs
After handing in the water chip to the Overseer the player can commission a second round of water caravans. Doing so will award the player with 1000XP, unmark the Find the Water Chip quest and attatch a 'days remaining' note to the player's Pip-Boy. This will effectively reset the results of the Find the Water Chip quest; the citizens of Vault 13 will act as though the water chip has not been delivered and after the time limit expires the game will end in failure.
