Edgewater is a backwater settlement located in the region of Emerald Vale, owned and operated by Spacer's Choice. The people of Edgewater are hardy, loyal company folk devoted to working in the town's Saltuna Canning Facility until the day they die, at which point they're buried in the local Spacer's Choice Cemetery — provided they've paid their burial fees. The Spacer's Choice family takes care of its own.
Reed Tobson — Edgewater's administrator — can help you find a power regulator to repair your ship. A staple in Obsidian games has always been a complex narrative with a variety of dialogue options, and The Outer Worlds is no different as you will have multiple options when approaching conversations.
Your character's abilities and companions also play a part in conversations. For example, you may have the option to lie to someone if you have enough charisma, or potentially your companion is a skilled engineer and can help dig you out of a technical discussion that is way over your head.
Reed points you to a power regulator in the nearby botanical district. All you need to do is head down to the geothermal plant, cut off power to the botanical district, and take their power regulator for yourself. As often with the decisions you face in The Outer Worlds, this will not be an easy choice and you will see that the botanical district is home to a group of refugees led by Adelaide McDevitt.
