Officer Jack

This is directed towards Per:

In your guide you say ""Take care of Officer Jack" for Mira.

This one pops up if Jack dies (see above). If there's a way of getting this quest from Mira beforehand I don't know what it is."

Usually she doesn't say anything to me about that either, but recently I was playing with a stupid char (IN 3) who had pretty mediocre karma (100-200 range, wanderer). When I talked to Mira, she slapped this quest on me pretty damn quick (and a rope appeared over the town wall, but who needs to climb the wall to get into NCR?). I capped Jack, and as usual she gave me the P90c.

When I was going through the text files (gee, feels like I've been typing those words a lot lately), I found this and tried to trigger it in the game, without success. The way I figured it (from looking at the dialogue that is), if you talked to Merk with a stupid character he'd send you to Myra who'd give you the quest. Still I wasn't able to get any such dialogue from either of them. Also there were a few "hints" that this was unimplemented - for instance, it seems you were supposed to be able to talk to Jack _before_ he decides to blow himself up, then go to Myra and get the quest (with a non-stupid char). But I've never been able to talk to Jack "normally". Also Merk has more unimplemented dialogue (I assume), such as stealing your car because you didn't pay the car hop.

Aaaanyway, it seems I made a hasty judgement. I'll try it again and ask for more details if I can't make it happen. Thanks for the info!

Edit: Turns out there's a ST requirement. I found out Jack will always be at the police station at night, but even if you go and talk to him you can't trigger the non-stupid conversation with Mira about him, or at least I couldn't.

RE: Officer Jack

Well, I was going to suggest night time before you did that edit bec. the blow up always happens at day time for me.

Have you tried it with a female character? Maybe to trigger angry/sensitive reaction from the guy?

Well since I am on the topic, Per, have you figure out what the hooded guy outside the gate who installs the blower for the car says about a job the involves the power plant girl(forgot her name, the one who asked you for help about jack) and the robot?

Also, I am left wondering why the sheriff keeps saying something alone the lines of, "I know what you did to poor Jack...".
