Officer Kendall

John Kendall is a resident of Vault 101. He is the husband of Mary Kendall and the father of Christine and Monica. John is an officer in Vault security. During his patrols, he whistles a tune.

On July 13, 2268, Officer Kendall is patrolling the Cafeteria corridor. On a stairway to the Upper Level, the Overseer converses with Officer Kendall during the Lone Wanderer's tenth birthday party. The Overseer express his feelings of contempt for the Lone Wanderer and orders the security officer to supervise the cleaning of the Cafeteria and to ensure that the celebrants return to home or to work.

Kendall is the first Vault 101 Security Guard encountered during the Escape! quest. He is found in the corridor just outside the player character's room; he will yell at the player character to "Halt!", but will be attacked by 3 or 4 Radroaches before being able to confront the player. This gives the Player Character the opportunity to either flee or kill the officer. There is also a chance the Radroaches will kill Kendall. Notably, Kendall is not initially hostile while fighting the Radroaches, but will become hostile towards the player once they are dead, even if the player saves him from the Radroaches. He is armed with a Police Baton.

Though it is very challenging Kendall can be "saved" from the Radroaches and death by killing two and running away. Kendall will then wander the entire Vault searching for the player and attack the player when found. If the character manages to successfully hide from him several interesting dialogs occur between him and the other officers and with the overseer. Furthermore if the player helps saves Butch's mother Butch can be heard covering for the player if Kendall wanders into Butch's apartment.
