Skeeter

Skeeter is a "ghoul gadgeteer" who serves as a mechanic for Gecko in 2241.
==Background==
Skeeter is a grubby but intelligent-looking ghoul, wearing greasy overalls with a micrometer sticking out of his pocket.Skeeter's character description: "{100}{}{You see a ghoul wearing old, grease-stained clothing.}""{101}{}{You see Skeeter, the Ghoul Gadgeteer.}""{102}{}{You see a grubby but intelligent-looking ghoul, wearing greasy overalls with a micrometer sticking out of his pocket.}"(Skeeter's dialogue) He is considered unreliable by the ghouls who administer Gecko's supply locker/storage room, since he once caused a fire, and as such he is typically denied part requisition forms. He is assisted by "Lumpy" John, a human refugee from Vault City who has no visible mutations like the ghouls, but is considered unacceptably mutated by the citizens in Vault City because of his unusual resistance to radiation.

The formula used to calculate the upgrade cost is:
:\text{Upgrade cost} = \text{Base price} \times \frac{250}{160 + \text{Barter skill}}
Example: The .44 Magnum revolver has a base price of 2,000. If the player character has a Barter skill of 40, the upgrade price is 2,000 * [ 250 / (160 + 40) ] = 2,500.
The base prices of the upgrades are:
* .44 Magnum revolver: $2,000
* Desert Eagle: $3,000
* Hunting rifle: $4,000
* Assault rifle: $6,000
* FN FAL: $12,000
