I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life, freely.

Revelation 21:6

Background[]

Revelation 21:6 is a verse from the Christian Bible. It is mentioned several times by James, the Lone Wanderer's father, who shares that it was the favorite verse of Catherine, his deceased wife and the player character's mother. The Lone Wanderer is first introduced to the passage in the first tutorial quest and later in the game, after being reunited with their father, they learn that this passage was the inspiration for Project Purity. The code "216" is used to activate the water purifier.[1]

Locations[]

  • Jefferson Memorial - The note is added to the Lone Wanderer's Pip-Boy when talking to their father James when first entering Project Purity's rotunda during the quest the Waters of Life as well as in the sub-basement.
  • Vault 101 - The framed quote in located in the living quarters and clinic.
  • It is also shown in an ending slide.

Notes[]

  • In Broken Steel, the latter half of the verse is appropriated by the Apostles, in the verbiage found in the Holy water pamphlet: "We will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the Water of Light." [2]
  • Another verse from Revelation is invoked in Fallout New Vegas. At Camp Searchlight, a sign has been altered to read "REVELATION 9:6".

  1. James: "Here we are. Where it all began. You remember your mother's favorite passage? Revelation 21:6. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life, freely. Don't you see? This is what it all means. The water, the purifier. THIS is the water of life. Your mother's dream. No point in wasting time. Let's get to work. There's much to be done."

  2. Good people of Megaton, your salvation is at hand! We are the Apostles of Eternal Light. To heal this wounded city, we are willing to provide any and all supplicants with cleansing holy water. Come to our monastery in Springvale, and Brother Gerard will minister to your every need. We will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the Water of Light. (Holy water pamphlet)
