Doctor Dala

Doctor Dala is a pre-War scientist operating the Think Tank in the Big MT.

Background
Doctor Dala is a pre-War doctor that became a think tank to continue her work at the Big MT. Dala has a fascination with the human body, and after a Perception speech check she will admit to wanting to watch the Courier breathe. During the initial meeting with her and the other scientist upon entering The Think Tank, she will make a number of obscure to not so obscure sexual references, including several concerning female masturbation.

Quests

 * Coming Out of Her Shell: Dala would like to monitor your "biorhythms" and observe you as an organism.

Effects of player action

 * After completing Coming Out of Her Shell, you can return to Dala once a day for a "breather" (litterally letting her watch you breathe) for some ammunition in return. As long as the player completes "Coming Out of Her Shell" before confronting the Think Tank at the end of Old World Blues (quest), she will side with the Courier if the option to have Klein consult with his colleagues is taken.

Other interactions

 * Speech options can infer that she shows more emotion than the other doctors, especially if the Courier has the Lady Killer or Cherchez La Femme perk.
 * If the Courier has an actual teddy bear in their inventory, new dialogue will be available where it may be offered to her.

Appearances
Dala appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes

 * You have the option of telling her "The Quick Scribe jumped over the Lazy Paladin" which is clearly a reference to what Christine says in Dead Money. This is itself a reference to the sentence most word processors use to display an example of a font because it uses every letter of the English alphabet: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
 * Dala is a shortened form of Mandala, which means 'circle' in Sanskrit, another looping and infinite figure which follows the naming convention of the other members of the think tank.
