Milo is a Mister Handy shipping foreman who appears in the Nuka-Cola Challenge quest in the Nuka-Cola plant. He is located at the bottom level of the factory floor near the upper door to the offices, awaiting new orders.
Background
The latest in robotic bookkeeping and shipment launching technology, Milo is a proud employee of the Nuka-Cola Corporation. Currently, it is waiting for additional shipping instructions from a Nuka-Cola employee with proper ID.[1]
A locked closet with four bodies can be found in the plant, with a note revealing that Milo left them to starve to death for minor infractions, such as leaving the toilet seat up in the unisex bathrooms, or having a slightly longer lunch break than they were permitted.

Quests
- The Nuka-Cola Challenge: Milo can be persuaded using Speech, Robotics Expert or information from a note found earlier in the quest, into handing over the research department safe key and the password for the shipping terminal.
Effects of player's actions
Failing the Speech checks to get the research department safe key results in demerits, and most of the remaining options will also produce the same effect. Upon receiving three demerits, Milo will become hostile, and the key can be looted from his body afterwards.

Notable quotes
- "Hello there, fellow employee. I don't believe we've met. I'm your Factory Foreman, Milo. It's a pleasure to meet you."
- "Use of profanity and attempting to falsify an employee identification number is a violation of Protocols NC-68 and NC-90 respectively. *mumbles* Don't do it again. Two demerits will now be issued. Note that further demerits can cause your expulsion from this job posting."
- "This product is the pinnacle of taste sensation. Seventeen fruit flavors and that signature cola taste blend to form the perfect refreshing soft drink. With its new Strontium additive, its got that unique kick to keep you on your toes."
Appearances
Milo, shipping foreman appears only in Fallout 3.
Bugs
An error can occur when you meet Milo and he will only say "What is it now, sir/ma'am?". The dialogue will automatically end and you cannot interact with him. You can still kill him and loot his corpse however.[verified]
