 * He doesn't necessarily need to be killed to receive Ted Strayer's Special Key. You can also easily intimidate him or buy it from him for 25 Caps. It is also possible to stealthily kill him by giving him Psycho for free so that he will overdose. Make sure not to do this long before you take up the quest however, as his body can disapear without you removing the key from his body.  Unfortunately there is no know way to counteract this. If you have a 6 or more strength or the Toughness perk, you can also intimidate him to give you all of his stuff, including bottlecaps and his key.


 * I successfully assassinated Ted whilst he was asleep in the Rivet City common room. Mei Wong was lurking outside the dormitory door but whilst using a Stealth Boy I mezzed Mei and got her to go away. Then, when I was alone, I used the Silenced 10mm Pistol to kill Ted. Rivet City Security were on the scene quickly but I remained invisible and hid in the corner until I could make a clean getway. Once outside the common room I allowed the stealth boy to wear off with no bad reactions at all from the inhabitants of the city.
