Detailed walkthrough
As you near Neil's Shack, a super mutant named Neil approaches you and automatically, starts a dialogue.

He will tell you that a super mutant named Tabitha has taken over Black Mountain. One of her (see the section Extra Details for female gender of super mutant) rules is that no Human is welcome to the area and any that approach should be shot on sight.

At this point you will automatically start the quest Crazy, Crazy, Crazy which requires you to enter Tabitha's stronghold and eliminate her chaos.

He will also let you know that the area is patrolled by Super-Mutants during the day, while at night cloaked Nightkin patrol the roads.

With a Speech check of 50 you can convince Neil to assist you in the killing of Tabitha.

From Neil's Shack you will have to make your way up the road towards Black Mountain and fight against 3 Patrols of super mutants. On your way up you will find the body of an NCR Trooper. If you pay close attention you will see Bear Traps exactly at legs of the corpse and all the way up to that Hill. Be careful to avoid Bear Traps and falling rocks if you choose to take this path.

If you choose to avoid the shortcuts and take the normal path up the road, the 3rd Patrol of super mutants will include also 1 Nightkin.

Be aware that a Deathclaw may be waiting at the top of the summit.

Once you reach the summit you have 3 options:


 * You can either talk to Neil and he will help you by misleading the guards at the entrance of the main buildings. This requires you and your companions to move past the guards by stealth since you choose to avoid fighting with them.

Extra Info : When Neil returns from giving false information about "an intruder in the entrance of the Black Mountain" he will start walking back towards his previous location BUT he will not be alone: a number of cloaked Nightkins will be directly behind him and at his side to check out the entrance of the area.

Bugs-Section : Please check the Bugs-Sections of this Quest as you will have to face at least 1 of 4 bugs.


 * The second choice is to use a ham-radio which is located under the toppled satellite dish just across from Neil's Position. You have 3 dialogue options:


 * Saying you are a big fan of the Super-Mutants will send the remaining Super-Mutants in the area towards your location.


 * The second option, which requires a Speech check of 75 points (patch 1.01+), will actually do the same thing as Neil's assist does: send the remaining Super-Mutants and Nightkin to the entrance of Black-Mountain, leaving Tabitha alone.


 * The third option will do nothing and is there only for those who changed their mind.

Once you have cleared the whole area at the top of Black Mountain you'll see a building at the left side of the area which is a storage shed. Inside the shed you will find Tabitha's robot named Rhonda. GOOD KARMA CHOICE : If you decide to repair Rhonda, which requires a Science Skill of 60 points, you will "activate" the good ending of this Quest: as you leave from the storage shed, Tabitha will appear, happy to see her Robot repaired and fully functional again. She will not attack you (remaining friendly unless you attack) and you will instantly finish the Quest receiving Good Karma as well.

To do this you need first to enter the room which is located at your map or at your compass. If you have a Science Skill of 25 you can hack Tabitha's personal computer (it doesn't have a special name, being simply labeled Terminal). The last entry in this terminal says that Tabitha hides a second key to her personal room (where you can find her) below the stairs leading to her room.
 * The second way to finish the Quest is to enter the room where Tabitha is and simply kill her. NO KARMA PENALTY


 * The third way is to fix the robot, go outside and finish the dialogue and finish the quest and get your Karma, THEN kneel down as she goes away and snipe her in the back, kill Tabitha and Rhonda, loot their corpses, and not lose any Karma! :)

Notable Loot

 * Storage Building -Massive amount of items including Missile Launcher, Missiles, C4, Grenades, Nuka-cola Victory, and even Gnomes!


 * Broadcast Building Second Floor -2 large trunks with 3 guns/ammo, sheet music

Bugs

 * If you continue past Neil it is possible for a Glitch to occur where Neil will not be able to join you regardless of the speech options always replying "OK. But whatever you have to do, be quick about it".


 * Neil the super mutant will tell you to meet him at the top of the hill. He will be located to your left directly after you pass the crater (radiation warning). Talk to him when you see him and don't go running ahead. If you go past him and start killing the Nightkin, he will not help you complete the mission, he will be stuck in the same conversation. If this happens to you, you can still complete the quest.


 * Sometimes when Neil goes to distract the Nightkin at the main compound, he will run into a pile of rocks in front of him and get "stuck" in a running animation in front of the rocks, preventing him from assistintin g you furthur in the quest. This can be fixed by standing infront of the rocks as you talk to him, causing Neil to run around you, allowing him to distract the Nightkin as normal.


 * The quest can be completed (but without the exp that should be gained and will appear as a new quest then a completed quest in your pipboy the moment the quest is completed) by not visiting Neil's shack prior to exploring Black Mountain. Once Black Mountain (including the bomb cater down the hill) is clear of all Mutants and Tabitha is dead (releasing Raul makes her spawn), Neil will turn up thanking you for your help... even though you've never met him before!


 * Repairing Rhonda to reunite with Tabitha before ever going to Neil's Shack completes what would be the requirements for Crazy, Crazy, Crazy, however the quest is not added. You can then meet Neil for the first time at his shack and he will thank you. However the quest will still not appear as started or completed.


 * If you wish to peacefully resolve the situation with Tabitha, ensure that you do not let a significant amount of in-game time pass between the moment when you first encounter Rhonda and the moment when you decide to repair her. It is highly likely that Rhonda will disappear from your game if you leave her room and decide to come back at a much later time.


 * If you restore Rhonda and spend too much time in the Storage House, Tabitha may enter as a hostile - if you kill her, you will finish the quest but may be locked inside of the Storage House. Sometimes the door will unlock after killing Rhonda, after you kill Tabitha.


 * If you have completed the quest peacefully and it's bugged but Tabitha has already disappeared, open the console and type prid 000e61a2 to select Tabitha (shes invisible). Then type moveto player to move her to the player then type enable to cause her to respawn, press E on her and the quest should complete normally. Alternatively you can simply type prid 000e61a2 then type kill to kill her and complete the quest the 'bad' way.


 * Save before opening the footlocker under the collapsed satellite dish, as opening it can hard-lock the game.


 * Even if you complete the quest by repairing Rhonda, entering the control room while on the quest Eyesight to the Blind will cause both Tabitha and Rhonda to become hostile to the player if they are nearby.
