Ranger Pason is an NCR Ranger stationed at Ranger Station Delta in 2281.
Background
Pason is a very professional and rather blunt man.[1][2][3] He owns his own robobrain.[Non-game 1] His current duty is to watch the Colorado River, for infiltration teams that the Legion sends over on rafts.[4]
Like previous ranger reports, one of his was manipulated, falsely attributing the loss of an NCR patrol to enemy action.[5]

Notable quotes
- "Haven't seen you around the post before. I'm busy, so keep the chit-chat to the point."
- "No, I didn't. You might hear that kind of nonsense from a drunk trooper on the Strip, but not from me. The Legion doesn't have Super Mutants. That patrol was wiped out by its own incompetence - a couple of the troopers were fooling around with a grenade when it went off."
- "Best of the best, that's all there is to it. Really nothing more to say than that."
Appearances
Ranger Pason appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
The NCR Rangers at the ranger stations, including Pason, were written by additional area designer Matt MacLean, who worked on the quest Return to Sender.[Non-game 2]

At the end of the gully pathway from Ranger Station Delta [3.36] is a Robobrain belonging to Ranger Pason, who is looking out over the Hoover Dam [3.33] to the north for signs of The Legion. Speak to him as part of Side Quest: Return to Sender. He is also carrying an "unremarkable" Report."
