CREDIT AND THANKS:

Adds a (very) simple quest which leads to the Union Station, plus some other tweaks to make your journey to New Vegas more convenient.

Decline Your Perceived Reality (TTW)

Adds a lore-friendly note containing a clue about the code for the simulation's failsafe, located in the Abandoned House.

Small Guns

(Attempts to) rename all instances of "Guns" to "Small Guns".
