Andy (Fallout 3)

Andy is a resident of Vault 101. It is a Type II Mr. Handy robot.

Prior to the Lone Wanderer's arrival at the Vault in 2259, Andy worked with technician George who repaired many of the robot's systems.

At the request of Allen Mack, Andy performed magic tricks at Wally Mack's party in 2268.

On July 12 of that year, Andy helps Stanley Armstrong in his repairs of the Vault's water purifier.

The next day, Andy is helping Stanley with maintenance near the Cafeteria. Midway through their work, they attend the Lone Wanderer's tenth birthday party. At the party, over the protestations of Amata Almodovar, Andy attempts cutting a slice of cake. His attempt results in a destroyed cake.

If you return to Vault 101 during the Trouble on the Homefront quest, Andy has been appointed the new doctor since the only qualified vault physicians, Jonas and James, are no longer residents; Jonas having been killed during James's escape. Again, Andy fails miserably at his assigned task. The Vault Dweller can find Andy covered in blood after the robot has amputated Beatrice's right leg in an attempt to treat a sprained toe on her left foot; an operation she did not survive. After this failure, Andy is put to work cleaning the doctor's office he has made such a mess of.

No matter what, Andy remains generally very jovial. The only times he expresses any real regret is during the Lone Wanderer's birthday party for ruining the cake with his buzz saw, and in a conversation with his technician during the Lone Wanderer's escape from the vault, in which he laments the bumbling of the technician and pines for the skills of his previous handler.

Andy's name could be a reference to the nickname 'Handy Andy', as he does many jobs in Vault 101, from Cleaning, to being a 'doctor'.
