Shop-Tec

The Shop-Tec is a Vault-Tec robotic system implemented in the company's Secret Vault. It is actually a network of terminals which is created to do some trading with the dwellers of the Vault. Shop-Tec appears like big, arcade-like box terminal, which, when activated, reveals a CD-ROM-like pod, which is actually a holo-proector. The Vault Boy 3D holographic image appears on this pod and interacts with a customer. Even though terminals use the Vault Boy as visual representation, it's voice is female. Shop-Tec, however, sometimes use male voice and even serves as guide to newcomers to the Vault and provides basic information on it's rules. It is possible that Shop-Tec is an integral part of the whole Secret Vault computer network.

During the attack on the Vault by Attis' army and eradication of nearly every human, the Shop-Tec analyzed the situation and somehow collected or created various weapons and items which could be needed here and used by survivors to fight Super Mutants or other Wasteland threats. It is possible that the system uses Maintenance Bots to collect some inventory. Shop-Tec comes in handy when the Initiate of the Brotherhood of Steel comes to the Vault to fight the Super Mutants.
