Tech Sergeant Reyes

Tech Sergeant Reyes is in charge of keeping track of the radio transmissions in the Camp Forlorn Hope command center in 2281 at Camp Forlorn Hope.

Background
Reyes' main job is to handle the communications for Camp Forlorn Hope. She is officially the communications officer for the besieged post but also is the de facto head of communications (mainly radio) security. This entails compiling the reports received from the Rangers at Camp Golf as well as their brass at Camp McCarran. Unofficially, she is also in charge of radio security, a responsibility she assigned to herself when she realized no one else seemed to care. Not just the radio security in the camp however, rather she is in charge of all the radio security over the ranger stations.

Her job however mostly contains the delightful task of tabulating stockpiles, kill ratios, mission success rates, radiation deaths, and other truly fascinating numbers. Despite being the only one in camp headquarters so dedicated to communications work, Reyes shows considerable initiative, dedication, and intelligence. While performing her duty however she has come across numerous inconsistencies between the numbers and the reports - especially with regards to intercepting hostiles (like the Legion possessing trained deathclaws). Wondering that the codes were compromised, she tried to receive permission to authorize her recent update - or at the least get field clearance to leave the camp and do it herself. This however was not taken seriously by any of the officers or troopers in the camp. They believe her to just be an incompetent desk jockey – due to her alcoholism – trying to glamorize the importance of her job, leaving her concerned, annoyed and underappreciated.

This is not the case, with less than a third of reported enemy sightings are getting intercepted. She worked out that either their intelligence is faulty, or NCR's enemies are one step ahead of them. She plans to verify the security of radio communications with the Ranger stations, asking the first new face she sees to help. She figures it's worth the risk, as the encryption they need for the job is unique to Ranger radios at each station and would be useless outside of them.

The Courier will have to head to each Ranger station to confirm the reports, allowing Reyes to pin-point the origin of the interference affecting the Republic's war effort.

Quests

 * Return to Sender: If the player character speaks to her, she expresses concern about radio security. She asks them to visit the six Ranger stations scattered throughout the Mojave Wasteland and give them updated radio security codes.
 * We Are Legion: The Courier is required to eliminate the commanding officers in Camp Forlorn Hope, one of them being Sergeant Reyes.

Appearances
Reyes appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * A number of interactions between the player and Reyes were cut prior to the release of the game. Of the more interesting options which were cut, a partially removed dialogue option exists where the Courier can tell Reyes "But I already got a tattoo with your name on it. Want to see it?"  The circumstances which would have led to the Courier saying this to Reyes are not explained.
 * Reyes also has several responses that are leftover from when Obsidian still considered post-ending gameplay, referring to the end result of the battle, for each of the end states.
