Water chip... hmm. Oh, those old Vault purifying control chips. Well, I'm sure I speak for the entire town when I say you won't find one here.

Martha Rastello is the master merchant of the Water Merchants[1] in Fallout.

Background[]

Master merchant Rastello is in charge of the day to day operations of the caravan outfit. As Daren Hightower has locked himself in his Heights mansion, she handles all of the problems as the highest ranked trader of the company. This includes dealing with pissed off clients and managing all water shipments.
