Dr. Zimmer



 is a scientist/android who is temporarily staying at Rivet City, searching for his prized escaped androids. Zimmer hails from the Commonwealth, and has arrived at Rivet City in hopes of recovering his lost android. He can give you the quest The Replicated Man. If the player chooses to warn Harkness (Zimmer's android) of its impending capture, Harkness will proceed to slaughter Zimmer and his android bodyguard Armitage. However, if the player chooses to inform Zimmer of Harkness's identity, Zimmer will proceed to capture Harkness against its will.

Note: Pinkerton is not necessarily an Android. The soul reason he is believed to be one is because he has an Android Component in his inventory. It is foolish to assume though, that this is taken from inside him, as it is highly unlikely that the player character has any idea not only how to remove it, but where the thing is even located in the first place. A more likely scenario is that because these characters all have worked with Androids in the past, that they have this component in their inventory.

Apperances
 only appears in Fallout 3.

Trivia
The name Dr. Zimmer is probably a reference to the movie Mandroid (1993).
