Kenneth Collins

Dr. Kenneth Collins is a Vault-Tec scientist previously in the secret laboratory section of Vault 81 and is mentioned only in Vault 81 terminal entries.

Background
Dr. Collins was one of only three Vault-Tec scientists who made it into the secret, hermetically-sealed research area of Vault 81 on the day of the Great War before the doors were sealed. This was despite the efforts of the overseer, Dr. Olivette to sabotage the call list in an effort to prevent the planned experiments on the unsuspecting vault dwellers of the main vault. The other two who made it in were Dr. Jim Flint and the younger Dr. Burrow.

Despite being understaffed, the scientists began the initial phases of their work. Before the Phase III human testing could begin, however, the vault's overseer, Dr. Olivette, had never intended to allow the experiment to come to fruition. She deactivated the disease/cure distribution system and sealed the secret vault's exits, ensuring the residents' safety but condemning the scientists to a certain death, including Dr. Collins.

Dr. Collins modified the Contagions Vulnerability Robotic Infirmary Engineer, a Miss Nanny based lab assistant, to take on greater responsibilities due to the staff shortage. He gave it some custom personality settings, giving it the personality of Liza someone close to Dr. Collins, and his "grad school fling from Versailles back in '46", and naming it Curie (the same as the model name and probably as a nod to the scientist Marie Curie also, some of whose work was loaded into it's databank)

Appearances
Dr. Collins is mentioned only in Vault 81 terminal entries and features in Fallout 4.
