I have all this mission complete but I can not stop the bomb. According to http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/I_Put_a_Spell_on_You you should be able to and there is no time limit. As soon as I tell Col. Hsu :nuke: (boom if you like ). I have tried to look for the bomb before talk to Col. Hsu but it does not work.

it is bugged, hexagon1 has an involved fix:
i hope someone can do a mod that fixes it.

I've got it, if anyone is interested. You will need the GECK game editor for New Vegas.

1) Open GECK, go File>Data and tick the checkbox next to "FalloutNV.esm". Do NOT click 'Set as Active File'. Click OK and wait for it to load.
2) In the Object Window, expand 'Actor Data', then click on Quests. When they load, find the quest with the editor ID "VMS08". Double click it.
3) Click on the tab button labelled "Topics". It should open with "GREETINGS" selected. If it doesn't select "GREETINGS" on the left.
4) The 7th item ought to be "What happened?" (this is the greeting Hsu uses after you've reported the spy, but before you're reported the monorail blowing up). Click on it once.
5) At the bottom of the window is a text area labelled "Result Script (Begin)". Paste the following into it:

Quote
set VMS08.bReportedCurtisOutcome to 0;
SetObjectiveDisplayed VMS08 50 1;
Set VMS08.bPlayerTooLate to 0;

6) Click OK on the bottom-right of the window.
7) Go File>Save and make up a name for the file, it's not important. Make sure to save it in the folder GECK suggests (the Data folder under your Fallout NV game directory), and make sure to keep the ".esp" extension.
8) Close GECK. Open the Fallout NV launcher. Click on "Data Files". Tick the checkbox next to your new file, whatever it may be.
9) Load your game, and speak to Hsu. Just activate him, hear the greeting, and say Goodbye. Do not say anything else to him. Do not speak to him again until you disarm the bomb.
10) You should now be able to disable the bomb. It's in the air vent at the front of the train. Disable it and report to Hsu.
11) Exit the game. Open your Fallout NV game directory, go to the Data folder, and delete the mod file you created. Be careful not to delete anything else. Your file should be about 3 kilobytes.
12) When you next load your game, you should get a warning about missing content. That's fine, click OK. If you don't get the warning, you may have done something wrong.

All done!

Since you killed the spy, you should be in possession of a convenient NCR uniform to get past the monorail guards with. Your NCR reputation should also raise from 'Neutral' to 'Appreciated' (or whatever the appropriate jump is if you've aligned yourself differently)

Thank you I will give it a try.

Were do I get the Geck for FNV? If it is the same as FO3 were do I install it with FO3 or Steam Common Apps?

Actually your mistake was in talking to the Col. in the first place. After getting the codes from the spy, go directly to the monorail and to the vent and it should then be able to be shut-off. From your original post it seems you tried going directly to the monorail? If so, then the reset as stated will be needed. The Geck is located a few forums below this one.

I have not gone to the Col. and after a game restart, many, the option to stop the bomb is listed. I have tried many times but :nuke: is only option. I have the Geck download installed but I do understand what to do. I will work on the how to use the Geck.

I tried that Geck suggestion and it failed. Does anyone know how to reset to mission to start. I have tried, but the consul keeps beeping at me. :brokencomputer:
