This side quest can actually be a lot longer and more arduous than it was for us. But as we stated endlessly during our Walkthrough , we aren't friends with the Legion. And that worked out splendidly for us during this particular side quest. To get things started, you'll need to head to Camp Searchlight, the ridiculously irradiated location controlled by the NCR at the southeastern portion of the Mojave Wasteland. A prerequisite for this side quest is that you've already unlocked Cottonwood Cove, the Legion-controlled camp to the east of the Searchlight locations. If you have, then quick-travel (or go overland) to Camp Searchlight, which is to the east of the Raided Farmstead. Don't adjust your television! That green cloud hanging over everything and severely obscuring your vision is supposed to be there.
You see, the radiation here stems from the Legion, who unleashed some sort of makeshift bomb to kill the NCR contingent here. And they've mostly succeeded. When you speak with an officer known as First Sergeant Astor, you'll learn a bit about how the NCR has been surviving here, and you'll eventually be given the option to help him out. Doing so will require you to go to the aforementioned Cottonwood Cove, where the Legion have set themselves up. Astor wants documents from the Legion, as well as for you to plant a bug on one of their radios. And you can certainly do this. But if you follow our advice, clearing Cottonwood Cove violently before this encounter with First Sergeant Astor will give you the option to tell him that you already killed everyone there, thus bypassing everything in this side quest, and completing it just as you began. Excellent!
