Michael Daly

"This is Mike Daly, signing out. Good luck. And God bless America. Or what's left of it."

- Mike, on his holotape

Michael Daly was a Staff Sergeant of the United States Army. He does not appear in the game, but his voice can be heard on Log - SSG Michael Daly which he made a couple of days after the Great War.

Background
Michael was a Staff Sergeant of the United States Army and was equipped with a T-45 power armor, which the Sole Survivor later uses during the events of When Freedom Calls.

On October 23rd, Ssgt. Michael Daly and his squad was en route to West Stockbridge when the bombs fell. The Vertibird carrying the squad crashed into the roof of the Museum of Freedom due to the EMP, known as the Great Blackout, caused by the nuclear blasts. The co-pilot died in the crash, while the pilot died from his injuries a day later. The following day two other squad members - Flaherty and Kanawa - were shot by a group of panicked survivors. Afterwards, the remaining squad member, Proznanski, ran off, leaving Mike on his own. When his armor's fusion core burned out a few days later, Mike decided to go AWOL, contemplating whether that concept even existed anymore. He then headed to Boston on foot to see if his sister had survived, stating in his log that she had an apartment on Boylston Street. He most likely died shortly afterwards, either from the nuclear fallout or at the hands of other survivors.

Appearances
Michael Daly is mentioned in Fallout 4.
