Andy (Fallout 3)

“Um, actually... no. I'm afraid I've been... What's the human term? Ah yes. "Fired." I've been reassigned to cleaning detail. My first duty is, somewhat ironically, cleaning the clinic! Ah, but surgery was fun while it lasted...”

Andy is a Type I Mister Handy robot inside Vault 101 in 2277.

Background[edit | edit source]

Andy works in Vault 101 under the constant supervision of Stanley Armstrong. Due to a lack of specific motor parts, he is prone to articulated blade spasms. For example, at the Lone Wanderer's 10th birthday party, Andy disastrously attempts to cut the birthday cake. This leads to the nickname Mister Liability.^[1]

After James' escape from the vault, Andy is assigned to be the vault's new medic.^[2] In his one surgical operation, Andy decides to treat Beatrice's sprained big toe by amputating the whole leg. He amputates the wrong leg, and Beatrice dies as a result.^[3] Andy is reassigned to cleaning duty, starting with the remains of Beatrice.^[4]

Andy: "But of course! With your father's departure from the vault, and Jonas's untimely demise, the Overseer had to take swift action! And so he named me the new vault medical practitioner! A marvelous decision, if I do say so myself! I am fully equipped, after all."

Andy: "Ah, yes. A rather unfortunate incident. In all the commotion, Miss Beatrice suffered from a rather bad sprain in her left toe. The big one. Obviously, I had no choice but to amputate. The leg. I'm sorry to say the operation was not a success."
