Timebomb

Timebomb is a badly injured man in Red's Clinic in Big Town in 2277.

Background
Timebomb, like every other person in Big Town, came from Little Lamplight. If the player speaks to Bittercup, she will say she had a relationship with Timebomb. If you speak to Timebomb about this, he will have no recollection of it, implying she may have "had a relationship" with him while he was unconscious and alluding to Bittercup's fascination with death.

Effects of player actions

 * With a high enough medicine skill (40), you can choose to heal or kill Timebomb.
 * With a medicine skill lower than 40, the only options presented are to leave him alone or put him out of his misery.
 * If you heal him and beat the "Big Trouble in Big Town" quest then talk to him, he will give you the Lucky 8 Ball.
 * If you use the Mesmetron on Timebomb while he is unconscious his head will explode and you lose Karma.

Appearances
Timebomb only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * If you save the town from super mutants before you heal him, he will sometimes yell "Hurrah!" and clap his hands, and then return to his state of unconsciousness.
 * Despite still being in a coma, he will talk and clap his hands when lying unconscious on the gurney.
