ED-E (Lonesome Road)

ED-E (pronounced Eddie) is a companion living in the Divide in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
Little is known about this particular model of eyebot and it's relationship with the original ED-E. Random segments of conversation with both it and Ulysses reveal that the most likely scenario is the following: This eyebot was being constructed by the Enclave at their Navarro outpost pre 2277, until the NCR overthrew them and claimed the unknown technology as there own. They hire the courier to transport the eyebot to the divide, unknown to them that the eyebot actually contains detonation codes to ICBM nuclear warheads located beneath the divide. When the eyebot 'wakes up' it transmits the detonation codes leaving the divide in the devastation seen in Lonesome Road.

In 2281 the original ED-E (Mojave) gets shot down by an unknown sniper and crashes in the Mojave Wasteland. The mainframe in the divide picks up the signal from ED-E, downloads its information, i.e its excursion across America, and stores it in the eyebot in the divide. The original ED-E is badly damaged which is why only some information is available from it, which can be later traded for upgrades. Whereas the new ED-E is in perfect shape and can replay all the damaged messages the original should have transmitted. Referance Needed

Upon joining the Courier's party, ED-E starts playing a log from Dr. Whitley, and continues doing so at certain "checkpoints" during the trip through the Divide. Ulysses will also use ED-E to communicate to you throughout the divide. ED-E contains the detonator which activated the nuclear warheads at the Divide, causing the massive destruction seen there. It was included in the construction after the incident at the Divide.

ED-E will also show through certain dialog choices that he misses Dr. Whitley and that he wants to be like Ralphie.
