Valentine was going to watch President Aaron Kimball's speech with her friend, a fellow engineer named Ben, but has not been able to find him. She asks the Courier if they have seen him, saying he was supposed to have met up with her on the second floor of the Hoover Dam visitor center an hour ago.[1]
↑Allison Valentine: "Hey, you haven't seen my friend around here, have you? His name is Ben and he's an engineer. We were supposed to meet up so we can watch the President's speech together, but he hasn't shown up yet." The Courier: "Maybe he's down in the barracks." Allison Valentine: "He isn't. I already checked there this morning. We were supposed to meet up here about an hour ago. I guess I'll just keep waiting. Sorry to bother you." (Allison Valentine's dialogue)
