📋 About This Mod
Description
Frustrated by the lack of companion choices for my bad karma Courier I decided to make my own.
Cyan is a blue haired raider girl hanging out at a small camp north of Goodsprings. She and her late partner have bitten off more than they can chew in the form of a group of Prospectors. Help her out and she'll happily follow you around while whining that she needs her next chem fix.
Find her on the road just north of Goodsprings, far enough away not to be seen from the town but not far enough to put you at risk from the nasties in that direction. Kill the guy who is harassing her and she'll offer to join you.

[]Honest Hearts: Cyan can accompany you to Zion, but only if you first open up a spot in the party by convincing Ricky to leave the group. Once the storyline has been completed she can travel to and from Zion freely. This option is enabled by default.
[]Old World Blues: Cyan can travel to Big Mountain with you using the Transportalponder! after you have completed the questline. This option is enabled by default.
