- You're right. I can't understand it because it doesn't make any sense.”— Melinda and the Chosen One
Melinda is the incredibly stiff and high strung greeting officer for Vault City in 2241.
Background
A glorified secretary utterly devoted to the ideology of Vault City, Melinda is incredibly stiff and looks like she has not relaxed in years.[1] Her unquestioning support for the segregation in Vault City manifests within seconds of speaking to her, as she describer the grandeur and splendor of Vault City. Naturally, she refers to the Inner City, where the citizens live, rather than the Courtyard, where the Citizens exploit (or "protect") the less fortunate.[2]
