Born and raised in the Hub, McGee is a veteran non-commissioned officer of the 1st Company of the 5th Army Battalion, currently under Lieutenant Hayes. He's on his second tour of duty[1] and keeps his nose to the grind stone, just following whatever orders the lieutenant gives.[2] Lately, they were limited to keeping tabs on the convicts holed up in Primm and trying to keep them contained.[3][4] In fact he was on scout when Deputy Beagle was captured and marched into the Bison Steve Hotel, choosing not to act, instead citing lack of a long rifle and proper orders.[5]
My Kind of Town: McGee is one of three potential candidates for the town's mayor. If the town elects Meyers or Primm Slim, McGee will travel overland to Camp Forlorn Hope. However, as he is one of the few characters who do not spawn, but instead walk to their destination, McGee is almost guaranteed to die on the way, as it takes him through several hostile areas.
"[Powder Gangers have taken over Primm.] Do you think I'm blind? Of course I can see the Powder Gangers have taken over Primm. You have any other obvious facts you'd like to share? Don't fist fight with Deathclaws? No kissing Cazadores?"
"[I rescued Primm's deputy, but the town's still lawless.] I can't imagine that deputy of theirs is worth more than a spit. I was on lookout when he got frog marched over to Bison Steve. If I had a long rifle or the order I would have taken out the Powder Gangers to save him, but I didn't. His tough shit I guess."
"[Where are you from?] I'm from Hub originally, but it's been a long time since I saw it. I'm on my second tour here. Most Non-Commissioned Officers are."
"I'm Sergeant McGee of the New California Republic Army, 5th Battalion, 1st Company. If you want to talk about something, speak to Lieutenant Hayes."
"[Does the NCR have any plans to attack the prison north of here?] I have no idea. I just go and do what they tell me."
"Man, it is a real uphill fight these days. I'm not sure how we are going to handle all these convicts."
"Primm is secure against outside threats. Be interesting to see how long the natives stay grateful."
"People of Primm, the NCR wishes to inform you that you are under their jurisdiction now. And from now on, you're gonna be living by our rules."
