Recon Craft (Fallout 3)

Recon Craft Theta is an disc shaped alien shuttle used for stealth operations. In 2277, it went on a mission to Earth, flown by its pilot. The objective of the operation was to abduct humans, but the vessel crashed in the Capital Wasteland due to unknown causes, leaving the ship heavily damaged and the pilot dead. Some time later, shortly after the kidnapping of the Lone Wanderer, the ship was presumably beamed up for repairs by Mothership Zeta and stored in one of the motherships onboard hangar bays. It is the 20th of the 26 Alien Recon Crafts.

Crash site
The wreckage of the shuttle is found north of Minefield and to the northwest of Greener Pastures Disposal Site. The ship has radiation surrounding it. It broadcasts a radio signal, the Recon Craft Theta Beacon. Once the Lone Wanderer approaches the ship for inspection, he/she is immediately abducted by mothership Zeta.

Once the Lone Wanderer hijacks the controls of Zeta and destroys an opposing alien mothership, an alien beacon is launched to the crash site, allowing the hero to return to Earth or travel back to the mothership at any time.

Ship repaired
Theta is stored in the hangar of the mothership, after it is seemingly beamed-up for repairs. Under the ship, there is a long tunnel that empties out into space, with the Earth below it.
