She won’t like it, but she’ll agree to help the Garretts maintain their stills in return for medical supplies. Again, you should be able to get her to agree to the deal without a Speech check. Go to Julie Farkas at the Old Mormon Fort and explain the deal to her. As he’ll mention, he doesn’t have any interest in Freeside being overrun with junkies. You shouldn’t need any Speech checks to convince him to talk to cut a deal with the Followers. Go to the Atomic Wrangler and talk to James Garrett. There’s an option to secure additional supplies from Mick & Ralph, but the Garretts are the main issue. If you want to actually set up a long term solution for the Followers, you’ll need to cut a deal with the Garretts. You’ll know that you’ve given the Followers enough when she offers you a discount on magazines and tells you that while she appreciates future donations they aren’t needed as badly. There’s not a huge rush to complete this part, so just start setting Med-X aside as you find it. If not, you should be able to buy some from the doctor in Novac and buy some Fixer from Dixon to cover the gap. Unless you use Med-X, you probably already have enough just from looting first aid kits. They’re just as happy with Med-X as they are with Fixer. You just need a combination of around ten doses. You’ll probably want to keep the Rad-Away, but Med-X and Fixer shouldn’t be hard to find. They’ll accept Fixer (which is fairly worthless, unless you use chems a lot), Med-X (also a specialty medicine) and Rad-Away.

You need to give them some of your own medical supplies to help shore up their reserves and let them crack the formulas. The first part of supplying the Followers is pretty simple.
