Why Can't We Be Friends?

Issued by Philip Lem or Samuel Cooke

Quick Walkthrough
You will need an explosives skill level of 50 to destroy the caves or an explosives skill level of 60 to destroy the caves and the vault (then run like hell) The explosives can be placed on the uniquely shaped green microcline rocks. The C4 will react with a nearby pocket of Potassium which will destroy the caves and the vault.Multiple fire geckos nearby.

Detailed Walkthrough
The player can choose to complete one of three options. Either to kill all the fire geckos for Samuel Cooke, to seal access to the cave-helping Lem or kill everyone. After talking to Lem in the Overseer's office and talking to Cooke, go to the living quarters, there are a few mines there and geckos, so talk to your company to stay where they are so that they wont run in the mines because they will attack the geckos (extremly recommended in hardcore mode). From the living quarters theres a hole in the floor in the biggest room. It will bring you down to the reactor floor (actually its an labyrinth sulphor which caused the hallucinations of the vault inhabitants). On this floor are the fire geckos you have to kill to complete Cooks quest option, (the ones in the living quarters dont count towards the quest but it dont hurts to kill em too). Also down here is also a great unique rock with green crystals in it, that you can use to blow up to seal the mines or destroy the whole place.

Option 1: after you have killed all the fire geckos go back to Samuel Cooke, he than sends you to the Red Rock Canion of the Great Khans where you have to convince Papa Khan to join Forces with the Powder Gangers in the vault (although they are tagged as escaped Convicts and not as Powder Gangers explicit, perhaps so that you can complete the quest even after you are vilified with the Powder Gangers). After you have convinced him (just klicking down the text if you are idolized by the great khans) return to Samuel Cooke to finish the Quest.

Option 2: Same set up as above go to the caves find the green crystalized rock. Then you have two choices blow the caves up (explosiosives skill of 60 and 3 C4) or blow the caves and vault up (explosives skill of 50 needed).
