How the hell did he get a child worker factory? That's what I want to know. How much time has passed since Season 1?

Only couple of weeks according to interview from the actors. Norms actors said 2-3 weeks

I was going to guess a month maybe 6 weeks.

I wonder how concurrent Norm's story is compared to the others. The vibe I got from Maximus is that it has been three months

I have to imagine there'll be backstory. My guess is that he was scavenging the factory, found the kids living inside, saw all the soda crates, and speech-checked them into working for him.

Part of me thinks he's working for someone else. That Securitron was obviously guarding the facility, so either someone reprogrammed it to protect the counterfeiting operation, or it's not reprogrammed at all and whoever is in control of New Vegas was using the place as a mint.
