Making Love

Making Love is a quest given by Steven Clark in Robertown. Steven will not offer the quest to members of the Union, or players who have a high reputation with the Union.

Walkthrough
Speak to Steven Clark to start the quest. He can be found at the RobCo facility in Robertown, or his home in the town at night. With an easy Speech check (10) you can convince him that you're trustworthy. He will confide in you that he is not a fan of the Union, and fancies himself an undercover sort of freedom fighter. He's in charge of programming the logic chips for the Protectrons and plans to send the Union a whole bunch of pacifistic combat models to stunt their war efforts. Steven needs your help turning a Protectron pacifistic and then he can copy the pacifist logic chip for the rest of the bots.

If you have a high enough Science (75) you can just program the desires behaviors yourself. Otherwise you'll have to talk the Protectron into it. Having a high Speech makes this dialogue tree easier, but only one check (Speech 20) is needed to succeed if you chose all the correct options.

If you choose an incorrect option you can provoke the Protectron into attacking you. If you kill it, Steven will ask you to return in a day once he's repaired the robot. It is possible to complete the quest by killing the Protectron 3 times- after being rebuilt the 3rd time he will tire of combat and become a pacifist.

Rewards
Steven gives you 100 caps and a copy of Total Hack.

75% of Union combat Protectrons become pacifists after completing this quest, which makes combat against the Union easier in the future.
