Technician Slough

Slough was a technician at the X-13 research facility.

Background
He housed a number of secret Fancy Lad Snack Cakes stashes within the facility and elsewhere in Big MT, which allowed him to eat snacks while working. The head of X-13 Doctor Calis started penalising Slough because of a decline in the quality of his work, and frequent smudging of camera lenses because of greasy hands from his constant snacking. Calis had noticed that this coincided with a rapid weight gain, and ordered Slough to either volunteer for human trials of the Y-7 implant, which was shown to increase performance while reducing weight gain during animal tests, or stop snacking. Slough instead began to find new places to hide the snacks, which made it easier for other scientists such as Mendoza to steal from them.

Appearances
Slough is mentioned only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
