Amata

Amata Almodovar is the daughter of Alphonse Almodovar, the Vault 101 Overseer. She is a close friend of the Lone Wanderer (the Main character), having known him/her since they were babies. It's implied that the player character (regardless of gender) may have a crush on her. The player is forced to make a choice when he finally confronts The Overseer: kill him to take revenge for the unnecessary murder of Doctor Jonas Palmer and gain his keys to his secret escape tunnel, or spare him and find their own way out. It is also possible to threaten The Overseer that the player will harm Amata if he is unable to escape the vault. This will also lead to The Overseer giving the player the key to his office. If the player kills him, the player's friendship with Amata suffers but can possibly be spared depending on how they explain it to Amata. The player asks her to accompany them in their first venture into the outside world but she refuses, regardless of whether or not her father is killed.

The game hints at a possible budding relationship between Amata and the player character, but this hint is more heavily implied if the player character is male. At the start of Escape!, the player character can say he/she was having a dream about Amata. She replies to the male player character by telling him not to be a smart-mouth, while her response to a female player character is "Eww! Don't be gross!", implying that Amata herself probably wouldn't be interested.

Trouble on the Homefront

 * Main page:Trouble on the Homefront

After The Waters of Life there is a new Radio signal in the vicinity of Vault 101, the Vault 101 Distress Signal from Amata. She gives you a brief explanation on the events leading up to that day and gives you the password to open the vault door. The Trouble on the Homefront quest begins here.

Upon entering the vault a Vault 101 Security Officer Gomez (or Officer Armstrong if you already killed Officer Gomez) confronts you and if you answer positively he will lead you to see Amata or the Vault 101 Overseer. This quest can still be done if you killed The Overseer earlier, as he will have been replaced by Allen Mack, Wally Mack's (member of the Tunnel Snakes Gang) father. Allen Mack is even more oppressive than Alphonse Almodovar.

Amata will mention the Vault is in trouble and needs your help to stop her father. There are multiple ways of accomplishing this - by force, by reason or by Speech skill. She pleads for you not to kill her father. Afterwards you will have one final chat with Amata and she will ask you to leave the vault forever. If you do leave without killing everyone the Trouble on the Homefront quest will end and the vault will close permanently.

If you complete the Trouble on the Homefront quest by destroying the Vault's reactor, there is a random encounter involving Amata and Enclave Soldiers.They will ask her for the location of Vault 101, which she will give to them. Afterwards, the Enclave Soldiers will open fire. She is most likely to get killed by the Enclave Soldiers, but if you get to save her she'll probably die sooner or later anyway. (Though you can make her essential using the console: setessential 0002549E 1) Even if you save her, Amata will run away from you, cursing you for the trouble you caused.

If you complete the Trouble on the Homefront quest by killing the Vault overseer and convince her it was your only choice, she will say "I'm sorry, you're a hero, and you have to leave", a homage to the original Fallout at the end where Vault 13's overseer says the same line. (Note: This was only done when Allen Mack was the overseer.)
