They are there, lets just say somewhere you might explore there might be some.

haha yes something very unimportant but exciting

Yea there is. Around south of Vegas.

You should run into them supposing you aren't too rash in the main quest. They are major [censored]s (again) when you first encounter them, which I adore.

One of the companions is also a BOS Scribe. She's a lippy one.
