Caroline Saunders

Caroline Saunders was a pre-War private contractor.

Background
Caroline Saunders was hired by the Bysshe Company to be the lead geological chemist for the USS Ozymandias' mission investigating bio-gas deposits in Point Lookout. She was chosen for the job because she was the only candidate who had experience with wetland excavations.

However, those who hired her at the Bysshe Company worried that Saunders was a "known liberal with academic ties" who could potentially cause issues for the company if she found out that the reason for bio-gas richness in the region was due to American Civil War mass burials. The Bysshe Company hired Dr. Martin J. Roach to pose as a research intern in order to prevent her from discovering this information. However, Dr. Roach was unable to do so and Saunders attempted to communicate with her academic contacts. Thus, the Bysshe Company authorized him to enact "Code Blue protocols" and "leave no evidence" to stop Saunders from hampering bio-gas extraction.

Behind the scenes
"Code Blue" is a phrase used by many hospitals to indicate that a patient is undergoing a cardiac arrest. By using this phrase, it may be implied that Dr. Roach was ordered to kill Caroline Saunders and make it appear that she suffered a cardiac arrest.

Appearances
Caroline Saunders is mentioned only in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout. Her voice can be heard on three holotapes:
