Detailed walkthrough
At the Nellis Air Force Base, a man named Jack can be spoken to, and with a successful 35 Speech check, the Confirmed Bachelor perk, or Black Widow perk, Jack reveals that he is in love with a girl named Janet, a Crimson Caravan employee he has never actually met. The Courier can agree to speak to Janet at her place of work, which is east of both Freeside gates. Speaking to her reveals that she has seen Jack from afar and that she is interested in him. With the Black Widow perk, there is an option to make her jealous and want to rush over, while with the Lady Killer perk, she will admit that she's dying to meet Jack. The Courier can tell her that they'll ask Pearl for permission.
To get Janet into Nellis, when speaking to Pearl, a successful Speech check of 50 garners Janet "a free pass to enter." Failing the check, the Courier must first complete the quest Ant Misbehavin' in order to be able to convince Pearl.
Return to Jack at the hangar, and he'll hand over Janet's Boomer Outfit, and ask to have it delivered to her. Return to Crimson Caravan and give Janet the Boomer outfit, in which she will then ask for the Courier to speak with her boss, Alice McLafferty, about releasing Janet from her work contract. Alice agrees to let Janet go, but she forfeits her wages as a penalty for breaking the contract; however, with a skill check of Barter 65 or Speech 75, Alice can be convinced to pay Janet what she owes while also letting her out of her contract. Return to Janet to give her the good news, and she will immediately leave for Nellis, in which Jack will need to be spoken to again to conclude the quest, and receive a reward of 300 XP.
Quest stages
Notes
- If the Courier previously killed Alice during Heartache by the Number, Janet will remark on her former employer being deceased, thus negating her contract with the company.
- Janet can be lied to with a successful 55 Speech check, telling her that she is expected at the base and that it's safe to go to Jack before arranging for her to do so safely. Doing so will fail the quest, earning negative Karma and resulting in Janet's death as she attempts to approach Nellis. Failing the check results in her knowing that she is being lied to, asking if they are trying to get her killed, and will also fail the quest.
- If Janet was killed by the bombardment, Jack can always be found sleeping at the Nellis workshop afterward. When talked to, he will be furious and ask why the Courier did not stop her. After being lied to with a 35 Speech check that she risked everything for him, he will "Curse the walls of Nellis" and go back to sleep. If the check was failed or respond its not the player character's fault she's dead, he will refuse to speak with the Courier.
