Shop-Tec



Shop-Tec is a Vault-Tec robotic system implemented in the company's Secret Vault. It consists of a network of terminals that is designed as a shopping interface for the vault dwellers. The system was adapted to accept caps as currency.

Shop-Tec terminals appear like big, arcade-like boxes. When activated, they reveal a CD-ROM-like pod which is actually a holo-projector. The Vault Boy 3D holographic image appears on this pod and interacts with a customer. Even though terminals use the Vault Boy as visual representation, its voice is female.

During the attack on the Vault by Attis' army and eradication of nearly every human, Shop-Tec analyzed the situation and collected or created various weapons and items which could be needed by survivors to fight super mutants or other wasteland threats. Consequently, Shop-Tec comes in handy when the Initiate of the Brotherhood of Steel comes to the Vault to fight the super mutants.

It is known that the Initiate has found a broken, yet repairable Shop-Tec terminal which he later repaired, after finding some spare parts. Through this terminal, it is revealed that Shop-Tec could educate itself and probably uses some words it heard from its customers, such as the word "fucking."

Appearances
Shop-Tec terminals appear only in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
