Dr. Zimmer

Dr. Zimmer is a scientist who is temporarily staying at Rivet City in 2277.

Background
Born in 2219, not much is known about Dr. Zimmer except that he is a scientist from the Commonwealth, formerly the pre-War state of Massachusetts, and that he specializes in robotics, specifically androids. He is from the Institute, a mysterious organization with advanced technology and technological skills that was probably once the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Sometime in 2277, Dr. Zimmer left the Commonwealth and headed south to the Capital Wasteland in search of a missing android. Accompanied by another android, Armitage, who served as his bodyguard, he made his way to Rivet City in the hopes that fellow scientist Dr. Madison Li could assist him in his search for his missing android. On arrival in Rivet City's science lab he is refused the right to speak with Li by Anna Holt, Li's assistant. Despite being refused assistance he remains within the lab, refusing to leave and demanding he speak directly with Li. Zimmer refuses to leave until Li "stops playing with her chemistry set and starts talking real science."
