Officer Richards

Officer Richards is a member of Vault 101 security in 2277.

Background
A little less relentless than Officer O'Brian in his beating of those milling about Vault 101 during the escape of the Lone Wanderer, Officer Richards is still under orders to stop those from breaching the vault door.

Officer Richards guards the locked atrium door to the Vault 101 entrance together with Officer O'Brian.

Quests
Escape!: Officer Richards will attempt to kill the player character during their escape from Vault 101.

Effects of player's actions

 * O'Brian and Richards kill Tom and Mary Holden unless the player character is seen by the officers before Tom reaches them. This will cause them to start shooting and scare away Tom and Mary.
 * If one does not kill Richards in the atrium he will appear later to stop them at the vault door.

Appearances
Officer Richards appears only in Fallout 3.
