Marge LeBarge

Marge LeBarge is the owner of the Kokoweef Mine in 2241.
==Background==
Marge was born in Canada, on the edge of Lake LeBarge.The Chosen One: "{130}{}{Are you a Redding native?}"Marge LeBarge: "{144}{}{Heck no. I was born way up north. Right on the edge of a lake. Lake LeBarge, it was.}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue) Life shaped her into a strong woman with a burly appearance and a definite air of authority around her.Marge LeBarge's character description: "{100}{}{You see a burly, middle-aged woman covered with rock-dust.}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue) These traits help her manage the Kokoweef gold mine, an occupation usually associated with men. 
She is a fairly amiable person, given the rough nature of her miners. She is in direct competition with Dan McGrew and Morningstar, not just economically, but also politically. While McGrew supports New Reno, Marge firmly believes that throwing Redding's lot with the anarchic, violent city of sin would backfire. In her opinion, annexation by the NCR is the best bet, though only for a lack of a better option. All the Republic really wants is gold, with the welfare of Redding a distant concern.The Chosen One: "{169}{}{What did you hear about a takeover?}"Marge LeBarge: "{174}{}{Well, people always talk about Vault City taking over to get our gold. Or one of the families in New Reno getting everyone hooked on their dope in order to take over. Or even the NCR wanting to annex us. I tell you, the NCR's our best bet - but they're all just out for our gold. Redding's still independent, so far.}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue)
==Interactions with the player character==
===Interactions overview===
===Quests===
* Find the excavator chip: Marge will ask the player to retrieve the excavator chip. Selling it to her will guarantee an NCR takeover of Redding, provided that the player doesn't supply Doc Johnson with a Jet antidote (or doesn't kill him afterwards).
===Effects of the player's actions===
* Depending on how the player resolves the bar brawl (talking Blasphemous Bette down, jailing one faction over the other, killing the offenders: which results in the entire town becoming hostile), Marge will comment on its outcome. In this order: grateful,Marge LeBarge: "{118}{}{Hey, thanks for breaking up that brawl. Sometimes my miners get a little out of line, but they're a good sort when they're not all Jetted up.}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue) grateful and glad her people were exonerated,Marge LeBarge: "{119}{}{Thanks for putting those Morningstar troublemakers behind bars. That's where they belong. How can I help you?}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue) disappointed that her people were arrested,Marge LeBarge: "{120}{}{I can't believe you'd put any of my boys in jail. I'm sure that those damn Morningstar thugs started that fight. Now what do you want?}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue)Marge LeBarge: "{121}{}{I sure wish you hadn't jailed my miners like that. Just jailing those Morningstar hooligans would have kept the peace in town. What do you want?}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue) or angered that miners were murdered.Marge LeBarge: "{122}{}{You sure know how to spank a baby with an axe, don't you? Nobody needed to die over a bar-brawl. Just what the hell do you want from me, anyway?}"(Marge LeBarge's dialogue)
