American War Correspondent

The American War Correspondent is a reporter in the Operation: Anchorage add-on for Fallout 3.

He appears in the U.S. Army Field Headquarters during Paving the Way after you have either cleared the listening post of enemy presence or blown up the Chimera fuel tanks and asks three soldiers to pose for a photograph. Their pose is identical to the Anchorage War Memorial in Washington, DC.

The reporter remarks that the photo is great and that some day somebody might make a statue out of it.

Frank was a journalist who longed to fight crime. Armed with his trusty hi-flash, surely no rapscallion would be able to stand against him! Then Frank was sent to Anchorage, Alaska. There is no crime to fight in Anchorage. The fact of the matter is that it is simply too cold to commit dastardly deeds of illegality. This drove Frank to drink, which was not altogether unexpected, as everyone named Frank becomes an alcoholic, and everyone that has to live in Alaska is driven to drink. This double whammy destroyed Frank's liver, and he spent all of his Batman-sized inheritance on a new, robotic one. This new liver (and the kidneys that came with it; it was a package deal) enabled Frank to filter out any toxins, making him completely immune to any and all poisons. Knowing this, Frank decided to return to photo correspondence with a firey passion. After taking a very fancy picture of three hobos dressed as power armor equipped infantry units, Frank was able to move back to Washington, D.C. where he had an ill-fated tryst with the daughter of a senator. The senator had him poisoned. Thanks to his immunity, Frank obviously was unharmed. Frank then realized that this senator had committed: a crime! So he dug his old camera out of his closet, put on his newsman's cap, and went to do battle. After taking down several members of high society, the government awarded Frank 504.6 million dollars. Frank then founded the baseball team "The Capital Congressmen". The team did poorly in the league, and was eventually sent to China where communists pushed them off the Great Wall. Frank, in the meantime, went up into space, and is currently living aboard the orbital weapons platform activated by the Lone Wanderer in Broken Steel
