Some scientist named Lesko moved in with the Wilks family across the street. They are helping him make some sort of a structure on the old lot near the diner. Lesko offered to pay me caps if I helped, but I declined. I dunno who he's working for, but I don't think they're still looking for me.William Brandice

The recently built shack is a location in Grayditch. It is the house of Doctor Lesko.

Background[]

This shack was built by Fred and Bryan Wilks for Doctor Lesko sometime after he arrived in Grayditch around November 2276.[1]

Layout[]

It is a small shack containing a computer terminal and empty protectron pod, scientific equipment, and a few metal boxes. Accessing the terminal provides some background information on Lesko's experiments and a map-marker.

The shack is initially unowned, meaning that its contents can be freely looted. However, if Those! is completed with Lesko left alive, he will move back into his shack and it will be marked as owned by him;[2] anything looted afterward will be considered theft. Furthermore, the shack is not marked as a public area, meaning that entering the shack will count as trespassing, and staying too long will cause Lesko to flee.

Notes[]

  • During Those!, entering the shack will set a dialogue variable that marks the player as having learned about Doctor Lesko's existence.[3] (This can also happen in dialogue with Bryan Wilks.) This enables a topic to ask Bryan about Grayditch's other residents, changes the Lone Wanderer's first greeting with Doctor Lesko, and adds a later topic calling him out for his "error" which destroyed the settlement.
  • Dr. Lesko's password recording is Formicidae, which is the familial classification of ants.

Appearances[]
