If youвЂ™re a friend of the NCR, then youвЂ™ll definitely want to swing by.

This post is part of the series: Fallout: New Vegas Walkthrough - Camp McCarranД¬amp McCarran is the NCR Base located on the edge of New Vegas. You should have a nice reward and a bit of a reputation boost with the NCR. This will result in Curtis being killed, so you can go back to the tower and loot his body if you want. Otherwise, just report your success to Colonel Hsu. If you want, and arenвЂ™t afraid of potentially triggering a bug, you can go back to the control tower and kill Curtis. There does seem to be a time limit, so I suggest that you hurry. Use your skills or the codes to disarm it. ThereвЂ™s a bomb in one of the vents next to the door. Get onto the monorail and walk to the connecting door. Run into the terminal and go up to the second level and through the marked door to the monorail station. If you donвЂ™t, pickpocket the disarm codes off of Curtis. If you have more than 35 points in Explosives or 45 points in Science (or have the magazines or mentats to boost your skill enough in either) just leave and run. Just wait there for him to report a patrol moving out and mention that the monorail is set to blow. Even if you manage to make it there in time and disarm the bomb, it will still blow up. This is the important part! Do not attack Curtis, at all! Killing Curtis at this point in the quest seems to doom the monorail. You may want to have your companions wait outside, but they didnвЂ™t cause any problems for me. Follow him into the control tower, and use a stealth boy if you donвЂ™t have many points in stealth. Sneak along behind Curtis, but keep a fair bit of distance between the two of you. You can pass a Speech check and convince him that youвЂ™re just out for a walk, but heвЂ™ll be too suspicious to continue with his meeting. If you get too close to him, heвЂ™ll stop you and ask why youвЂ™re out this late.

At some point after midnight (it may be closer to one depending on the schedule), you should see Curtis walk along the tarmac toward the control tower. You should be able to just wait here safely. Wait on the tarmac and take cover by one of the planes. N order to catch the spy andsuccessfully foil his plan, you need to eavesdrop on his radio conversation in the control tower. If you stick to my path, youвЂ™ll have no problems. It seems that a lot of people have run into bugs and a somewhat unexpected instant failure. One thing that is very important is that you follow the following instructions. Note that this is true even if you have completed Three-Card Bounty and theyвЂ™re in Camp Forlorn Hope.

You can figure out the exact times of the break-ins by either checking the log at the control tower entrance or by talking to the First Recon Snipers to learn that the lights come on around 1 AM each night. If you talk to Boyd, sheвЂ™ll mention Contreas' skimming and some odd break-ins at the control tower. There is a separate quest to reveal his corruption, but Contreas isnвЂ™t related to the spying. HeвЂ™ll point you toward the head of the Military Police, Boyd, and a corrupt quartermaster, Contreas. HeвЂ™ll ask you to find out who the spy is by helping out Curtis with his investigation. HeвЂ™s inside the terminal, with a small office to the left of the main terminal entrance. Colonel Hsu can give you the mission at Camp McCarren.
