“You a merc? 'Cause you don't look like a prospector.”
The arms merchant is a former NCR soldier running a weapons stall at the 188 Trading Post in 2281.
Background
Operating her business out of the back of a pre-War military truck at the 188 Trading Post. At night, she can be found asleep in the trailer on the opposite side of the underpass.
She used to serve with the Republic's Army. More specifically, she was a staff sergeant, third platoon of Bravo Company. She fought in the First Battle of Hoover Dam, witnessing first hand the brutal struggle with the Legion.[1] Three years later, she found herself selling weapons at the 188 Trading Post, due to an administrative discharge. The reason was as simple as it was heartless. Her commanding officer (Ronald Curtis) ordered her to flog two deserters, she refused, telling him off in words that were as soldierly as they were true. The deserters were actually two kids that got drunk on the Strip and managed to miss roll call. In 2280, she was discharged from the military for her insubordination but was officially filed as administrative discharge.[2][3]
Now without a job, the arms merchant stayed in the area as she did not feel it was right to leave with the Legion preparing for an attack on the other side of the river. After connecting with other NCR veterans, she began selling weapons from the 188 Trading Post. For her, the 188 post, apart from being the local hub of commerce and trade, has the added benefit of being able to see her old platoon from time to time, giving them some surplus ammunition and making sure the new commanding officer is treating them properly.[4][5]
