Sally (Mothership Zeta)

Sally is a child abductee aboard Mothership Zeta in the year 2277.

Background
Sally was abducted along with her sister by [Alien (Fallout 3)|[aliens]]. Her parents were killed in the Great War, and her sister is either still frozen on the ship or has been killed by aliens. The fact that Sally was abducted during the Great War makes her more than 200 years old. Sally is extremely knowledgeable about the alien ship, having escaped from her holding cell multiple times to explore different areas and having, in her own words, "been here a while, a long while."

Quests

 * Not of This World/Among the Stars/This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough...: Sally assists the Lone Wanderer throughout the Mothership Zeta quests by using her skills to open doors or to provide information as you move through the ship.

Other interactions

 * With the Child At Heart perk, you can ask her to lead you to a secret room containing assorted alien gear.

Effects of player actions

 * After completion of the quests, Sally stays aboard the alien starship and scrounges for materials. You can return to the starship at any point and ask if she's found anything, and, if she has, she will give the items to you. You can manipulate what you receive the same way you can manipulate random encounters. You can also simply wait 24 hours and ask her again, and she will give you more items.
 * 1 to 3 alien epoxy(s)
 * 1 to 3 alien biogel(s)
 * 40 +/- alien power modules
 * Various alien weapons (either alien atomizers, alien disintegrators, or shock batons), sometimes more than one at a time.

Notable quotes

 * "Captain on the bridge!" 
 * "All is normal, captain!"

Appearances
Sally appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

Behind the scenes

 * Sally's line, "Cows, we've got cows!" is a reference to the movie Twister.
 * When talking to her in the maintenance area you can say "What an incredible smell you discovered," which is a line from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
 * Sally's use of the air vents to move around the alien ship incognito is reminiscent of the character "Newt" from Aliens and the Little Sisters from the video game series Bioshock.

Bugs

 * Sally disappears from both the Engineering Core and Maintenance Level when you first enter the Maintenance Level.
 * After completing This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough..., Sally may become stuck behind the inoperable door in the captain's quarters.
 * While Sally is crawling through the vents, if you attempt to pickpocket her she will pop out of the vent and you will begin to talk to her, glitching the game and preventing further progress.
 * Sally can appear in Megaton, Tenpenny Tower, or Rivet City, and won't be on Mothership Zeta when you are abducted. (This can be avoided if you use an earlier save before she appears and get to the alien craft first.) Sally won't appear when you need to get her out of the cells, but if you toggle collision off (hit ` then type tcl and hit enter) and walk through the first couple of doors, she reappears and the quest can continue.
 * When having asked Sally to show the way to the secret weapon room with the Child at Heart perk, it becomes impossible to bring up the topic again after completing the quest This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough....
 * With the Mister Sandman perk, you can gain an unlimited amount of experience by selecting "murder" when sneaking and attempting to pickpocket Sally while she is asleep. She sleeps on the makeshift bed under the staircase in the engineering core (near where the samurai squats). You will have to blow up one or two of the core things in the Cryo Labs, Robot Assembly, or Hangar in order for it to appear. Unlike the glitch used for infinite exp. in Andale (or any other kids), this has not yet been patched.
 * When attempting to pickpocket Sally, she initiates dialogue instead of opening her inventory.
