Boulder Scientists

Boulder scientists are a faction that is headquartered in Boulder Dome in 2253.

Background
An NCR scientist named Goddard and his military escort traveled through the region, establishing power generators and noting the locations of old-world power facilities. His report to NCR is noticed by Presper, who sent him out again to investigate certain areas in the old America's southwest.

After Goddard returns, Presper and a small team of soldiers investigate Boulder Dome. They found it in need of repair but containing excellent labs and a fully-functioning ZAX unit. Over the next few years, Presper invited or more or less sent scientists and students to the Boulder Dome, where he explained his idea to remake civilization. Those who refuse are put in cold sleep, using technology the original dome scientists developed to aid space travel.

Appearances
Boulder scientists were going to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
