Jack and Diane

Jack and Diane can be found at the Red Rock Drug Lab. You only have to convince one of them to earn both of their support, but they will have different requirements.

If you talk to Jack..	Succeed a Speech 60 skill check.
If you talk to Diane..	Find Anders to prove the Legion are doing horrible things. Reward: 250 Caps or Turbo Recipe

Regis

Grab the Legion Slave Ledger in Caesar's tent at The Fort and show it to Regis to gain his support. You can also show it to Papa Khan, but he will be dismissive of it.

Disgrace Karl (Optional)

Option 1: Steal Karl's Journal and show it to Papa Khan

Option 2: Provoke Carl with Speech skill checks (25, 50, and 75)

Oh My Papa has an optional objective of letting Papa Khan know that Karl is a Legion loyalist. To accomplish this, you can either provoke him at the dining table with speech checks, or you can steal his notebook from the footlocker in his room and show it to Papa Khan.

After learning of his alliance, the Great Khans will immediately kill him. However, his death or survival from this objective is ultimately inconsequential to the quest and story.

Convince Papa Khan

After gaining the support from his advisors, you can convince Papa Khan to either leave the wasteland or suicide bomb the Legion. If you can't pass the Speech skill check, you'll have to accomplish an additional task for Papa Khan before you can choose.

Speak to Julie and Ezekiel

Speak to Julie from the Followers of the Apocalypse in the Old Mormon Fort within Freeside. Then speak to Ezekiel who will give you a book that you can return to Papa Khan to be able to convince him without any speech skill checks.

Tell Papa Khan to Stick Around

If you have the NCR quest, For the Republic, Part 2, you may have investigated the Great Khans at the instruction of Colonel Moor. Thus, the Oh My Papa quest will have additional objectives.

After convincing Papa Khan to either leave the wasteland or suicide bomb the Legion, tell him to stick around for a while.

Talk to Regis About the NCR

Interact with Regis and exhaust his conversation options to learn that he is okay with an alliance with NCR, but can't do anything with Papa Khan as their leader.

Return to Colonel Moore

Inform Colonel Moore that Regis, Papa Khan's second-in-command is amenable to allying with the NCR. She will then ask you to assassinate Papa Khan.

Agree or Refuse to Assassinate Papa Khan

If you refuse, you can return to Papa Khan and confirm your earlier choice to either have them leave or suicide bomb and the quest will end.

If you agree to assassinate Papa Khan, Colonel Moore will provide you with lockpicking materials.

Ways to Assassinate Papa Khan
・Pickpocket Papa Khan to put an explosive in his inventory ・Wait until he goes to the outhouse in the afternoon. You can either plant an explosive or kill him with a silenced weapon. ・If you have the Mister Sandman Perk, wait until he sleeps in his room. You can lockpick a door to enter or wait in the room beforehand.

Talk to Regis About Alliance

After assassinating Papa Khan, talk to Regis about the NCR-Great Khan alliance to end the quest.
