I handle communications for Camp Forlorn Hope, compiling reports I've received from the Rangers at Camp Golf as well as the brass at McCarran.

Technical Sergeant Reyes[Non-game 1] is a New California Republic Army officer in charge of keeping track of the radio transmissions in the command center at Camp Forlorn Hope in 2281.

Background[]

Reyes' main job is to handle the communications for Camp Forlorn Hope via radio. This entails compiling the reports received from the NCR Rangers at Camp Golf as well as their brass at Camp McCarran. However, what this actually comes out to be is tabulating stockpiles, kill ratios, mission success rates, and radiation deaths. Unofficially, she is also in charge of radio security, a responsibility she assigned to herself when she realized no one else seemed to care.[1] This is not just radio security for the camp, but rather for the entire system of NCR Ranger stations across the Mojave Wasteland.[2][3]

However, while performing her duty she has come across numerous inconsistencies between the numbers and the reports - especially with regards to intercepting hostiles (like super mutant legionaires and the Great Khans possessing trained deathclaws.)[4] Wondering if the codes were compromised, she tried to receive permission to authorize her recent update - or at the least get field clearance to leave the camp and do it herself. This was not taken seriously by any of the officers or troopers in the camp, who believe her to just be an incompetent desk jockey trying to glamorize the importance of her job, leaving her concerned.[5][3][1]

Knowing that less than a third of their reported enemy sightings led to actual combat interceptions, Reyes has realized that either their intelligence is faulty, or the NCR's enemies are one step ahead of them.[5] She plans to verify the security of radio communications with the Ranger stations, asking the first new face she sees to help.[6][7] She figures it's worth the risk, as the encryption they need for the job is unique to the Ranger radios at each station and would be useless otherwise.[8]

Notes[]

  • Reyes is at Forlorn Hope in spite of the Forlorn Hope mandate which reassigned female troops to Camp McCarran.
  • After one finishes the quest "Return to Sender," they can inform Reyes about what happened. If one selects the dialogue option, "Forget about it. It's over." She will respond by saying, "Oh, well thanks for helping us get to the bottom of this, I guess." She will not say this vocally, as the audio file is missing.

Notable quotes[]

Appearances[]

Reyes appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes[]

Reyes has several responses that are leftover from when Obsidian still considered post-ending gameplay, referring to the result of the battle, for each of the end states.[9][10][11]

  1. 1.0 1.1 The Courier: "What do you do here?"
    Reyes: "I handle communications for Camp Forlorn Hope, compiling reports I've received from the Rangers at Camp Golf as well as the brass at McCarran. Unofficially, I'm also in charge of radio security. No one else seems to take it as seriously as I do."
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  2. The Courier: "I'll help. Tell me what I need to do."
    Reyes: "This holotape contains the updated security codes for the Ranger Stations. Show it to the comm officers there. Once the new codes are in use, anyone still using the old codes will just hear static if they're listening in on our frequencies."
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  3. 3.0 3.1 The Courier: "What do you need help with?"
    Reyes: "I have the delightful task of tabulating stockpiles, kill ratios, mission success rates, radiation deaths, and other truly fascinating numbers. I've come across numerous inconsistencies between our numbers and our reports - especially with regards to intercepting hostiles. I'm wondering if our radio security codes have been compromised. I need someone to deliver security code upgrades to each of the Ranger stations."
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  4. The Courier: "What else did you need me to do?"
    Reyes: "We've received some disturbing reports from some of the Ranger stations - heavy casualties at Alpha, Super Mutant Legionaries at Delta. The weirdest one has to be the Great Khans and their trained Deathclaws at Foxtrot. These reports can't be accurate. Can they? I know you've already been out there, but could you do me a solid and confirm these reports with the Rangers who sent them in?"
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  5. 5.0 5.1 The Courier: "You'd think the NCR would be very concerned about this sort of thing."
    Reyes: "I've been trying to get someone to authorize this update - or at the least get field clearance to leave the camp and do this myself. But nobody takes me seriously - they just think I'm an incompetent desk jockey trying to glamorize the importance of my job. Less than a third of reported enemy sightings are getting intercepted. Either our intel is faulty, or our enemies are one step ahead of us."
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  6. Reyes: "Got a second, trooper? I've got something important that needs to get done, but nobody's stepping up to help me out. I'm hoping you're different."
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  7. Reyes: "Hey, you're not one of the troopers... got a second? I have work I need done and nobody here at the camp has the time or inclination to help me out."
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  8. The Courier: "What makes you think you can trust me with security codes?"
    Reyes: "The security codes are unique to the radios at each Ranger station. They're useless anywhere else."
    (Reyes's dialogue)
  9. Cut contentReyes: "You should've heard the cheers over the radio when news of the victory came back from the Dam."
    (Reyes' dialogue)
  10. Cut contentReyes: "I've been trying to sort out the rumors from the facts, but with the Legion coming, I guess it doesn't matter. The news is all bad."
    (Reyes' dialogue)
  11. Cut contentReyes: "Lots of confusion over the radio. Somehow the NCR lost the Dam, but the Legion didn't get it, either?"
