Chris Haversam

 is a mechanic living in the REPCONN in 2281.

Background
Chris grew up in Vault 34 (Or so he says) and was a Vault Engineer. He was often sent to work on the reactor, which he believed would turn him into a ghoul. Eventually his hair began falling out due to natural reasons, but Chris insisted he was becoming a ghoul and subsequently left the Vault. Believing himself to be a ghoul, Chris joined the Bright Brotherhood (who could not convince him that he was human) to help them accomplish their goal. He helps work with the technology in order to get the rockets up and running.

Quests
During the course of Come Fly With Me, the player can pass a speech check to convince Chris that he is indeed human, and the rest of the Bright Brotherhood are going on the rockets without him. A female character with the Black Widow perk is also given the option to convince him of his humanity. They are then given the choice to help him sabotage the rockets so the ghouls die in flight.

Effects of player's actions
After the quest is over, he can be found milling about Novac.

Other interactions
Because he thinks he's a ghoul, Chris calls the player Smoothskin and speaks rudely to the PC.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
After completing the quest without convincing him of his humanity, he may simply say "Not now, its almost time for the Great Journey." over and over again without acknowledging the fact that they've already left without him. This can happen even if you convince him of his humanity through speech checks. If this happens, he will remain in the control room indefinitely rather than moving to Novac. In order to avoid this bug, make sure to first convince Haversam that he is human (make sure thats the first dialogue you make with him), and then its safe to start his quests (gather thruster and then the green substance).

If you convince Chris to sabotage the rockets then return to talk to him after they crashed he will start the dialog that normally follows if you sabotage the navigational controls.
