Ortega

Private Ortega is a Californian soldier guarding the NCR sharecropper farms in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
A trooper serving in the NCR Army since 2279, Private Ortega ensures the safety of the farms. Mostly, this means patrolling and taking potshots at molerats. She is thankful for the posting regardless, as it's safe, compared to eg. the Fiends containment operation.

Like her superior, Lt Romanowski, she believes any complaints by the sharecroppers are the result of incompetence, rather than genuine lack of resources.

Quests

 * The White Wash: With a speech check of 25 she reveals the sharecroppers water woes.

Other interactions

 * Once the Courier talks to her, she starts her patrol routine.

Appearances
Ortega appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
