Nova

Nova is one of the residents of Megaton. She works as the local prostitute at Moriarty's Saloon in 2277.

Background
Nova spends most of her time hanging around the bar talking to Gob, Moriarty, Jericho, and other customers. Every now and then, she goes up to her room with a client. Her standards are not exactly high, but she explicitly states that she does not serve ghouls. Another part of her job is to sweet-talk the male patrons and get them to spend caps on booze, company, or just a bed for the night. She has a day off, on which she goes shopping.

She has lived in Megaton for five years, but has grown unenthusiastic during her stay. This is in no small part due to how Colin Moriarty treats her. Moriarty does not even trust her with her earnings, taking them and locking them up for himself. Nova also has a chem habit, as Moriarty is displeased of her consuming Jet. She has learned that the best way to survive is to keep her nose out of other people's business, which means she never publicly works counter to Moriarty's interests. Needless to say, if Moriarty was out of the picture, she would retire from prostitution.

Daily schedule
Nova works at Moriarty's Saloon as a prostitute and can be found hanging out on the saloon's first floor talking to the locals and the Lone Wanderer.

Quests

 * Following in His Footsteps: After inquiring about Moriarty and completing a successful Speech check, she will give the Lone Wanderer the password for Colin's terminal, which contains valuable information about their father. A male player with the Lady Killer perk has a special dialogue option with her to acquire the password.

Effects of player's actions

 * When inquiring about hiring Nova's services, she advises the Lone Wanderer to rent a room. After paying her, she directs them to the room with the "big bed," and straight after finishing the conversation, walks up the stairs to the room, lies down on the bed, and appears to fall asleep. Attempting to speak with her at this point will result in the usual dialogue choices. However, there is access to the bed for a period of time after this.
 * If Colin Moriarty is killed, Nova and Gob will take over the saloon, which gets renamed to Gob's Saloon after waiting three in-game days outside of town. She will also no longer offer her services.

Other interactions

 * She has unique lines if the Lone Wanderer meets her for the first time while wearing a Vault 101 jumpsuit.
