“Just doing what I'm paid to do - harass the muties until they leave or attack us. If they leave, we let 'em go. If they attack, we wipe them out.”— Norton
To resolve the quest, the Courier can return to the entrance of Jacobstown and approach the mercenaries. They have the choice to pay them 2500 caps or tell them to leave with a Speech check of 65. If the player character has a very high NCR standing they may also be able to tell them that they are an NCR hero, upon which their leader 诺顿will recognize the player character and they'll leave. If the Courier doesn't have 2500 caps, they can talk to Marcus who can be asked for 2000, 2500, or 3000 caps to pay off Norton and his mercenaries (requesting 3000 results in negative Karma).
Alternatively, the player character can also kill them, but this leads to a lower XP reward and lowered reputation with the NCR. 完成任务会获得350 XP,如果向馬庫斯要钱则是250XP,不管是否把钱给诺顿。

Come to a peaceful arrangement with the mercenaries.
If resolved peacefully, Norton and the other mercenaries will make their way to a campfire at the north end of Highway 95, west of the Brooks tumbleweed ranch.
暗杀返回的佣兵不会降低新加州共和国的名誉。
It is possible to keep the caps given by Marcus without paying them to the mercs. First, ask Norton about by what means will they go away, then go to Marcus to ask for caps, return to Norton and pass the speech check or NCR reputation check, finish the quest after reporting to Marcus. By the end, one should have earned 250xp and 2500/3000 caps. In addition, the Courier would not earn negative karma for "cheating" Marcus. However, they still receive negative karma if they ask for 3000 caps instead of 2500.
Has platform::PCHas platform::Playstation 3Has platform::Xbox 360 After convincing Norton to walk away via caps, the area just south of Silver Peak Mine shows a non-hostile non-player character on the compass. The spot the compass points to shows an option to talk to Norton and one or more mercenaries. Doing so does not activate a dialogue. [已验证]
