Dorothy (Fallout 2)

Dorothy is the "tomboy" city engineer of New California Republic in 2241.

Background
Dorothy is a young woman, very much a tomboy, dressed in work overalls. Her role is to oversee the town's power plant and although somewhat skilled, she is by no means a genius at repairing broken electronic or mechanical equipment and this can cause problems and results in her requesting others to fix the power generator if Mira's deranged ex-husband, Jack, blows himself up. She is very fond of her robot companion, Toto, and they seemingly go everywhere together. It assists her in her daily chores around the plant.

Quests

 * Stop officer Jack from blowing up the power plant: At some point, a young policeman will go into the building behind her. This is the trigger for the quest, and she will ask for help as Jack, as one learns his name is, has barricaded himself inside the power plant and is threatening to blow himself up along with the generator.

If the quest is solved peacefully, Dorothy rewards the Chosen One with a collection of technical manuals she owns.

Beware that attempting to repair the computer in her shop before Officer Jack appears, this quest becomes unavailable due to a script bug. (Dorothy might say: "Crap! I got one word of advice-RUN!" prematurely when this bug is triggered.)

Appearances
Dorothy appears only in Fallout 2.

Behind the scenes
Her name, and her barking robot called Toto, are references to the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
