Stanley (Fallout 3)

Stanley Armstrong is a technician in the maintenance department of Vault 101

Background
Stanley and Andy (Fallout 3) repaired the Vault 101 water purifier the night before the Lone Wanderer's 10th birthday party.

Though the Overseer presents the Pip-Boy 3000A to the Lone Wanderer, it is Stanley who selects the model. Though he admits that some might find the 3000A basic, Stanley believes the series is very reliable. Before the conversation ends, he gifts the Lone Wanderer with a kid's baseball cap.

Stanley is diagnosed by James as suffering from stress. The stress is caused by overworking and exhaustion. The symptoms listed in a medical file include severe and chronic headaches and eyestrain caused by the lamps in his apartment. For treatment, James prescribes aspirin. James expresses reluctance in doing more for Stanley. As James types in his medical file, he acknowledges that Stanley may refuse rest and that the overseer will refuse any changes in the work schedule, and concludes that aspirin is the only option for the immediate future.

Stanley visit's the clinic to meet with Jonas Palmer, complaining of severe headaches and insomnia. Jonas confers with his patient and decides that further testing may be required. Jonas asks Stanley to wait as the clinic is prepared for the tests.

Stanley is the father of Beatrice Armstrong, Gloria, Steve Armstrong, and Mary. Stanley is the constant supervisor of Andy, a Mister Handy robot, that aids him in cleaning and maintaining the vault.
