Who knows? Shoot myself up 'till I forget who I am? The Wasteland sucks, kid. Just get used to it.

Sara Silver[1] is a former citizen of Megaton hiding out within Springvale's only habitable building, the small ranch, in 2277.

Background[]

Silver was a prostitute who worked for Colin Moriarty in Megaton before they had a falling out and she ran off with her share of her earnings (or so she says), deciding to hide out in Springvale.[Non-game 1] Moriarty claims that she is nothing more than a Psycho junkie who conned him out of his earning by hightailing it to Springvale with all the chems she said she would supply him, but she is convinced otherwise.[2]

She told Moriarty that she was done hooking and was taking the caps she had earned fair and square; she even slept with him to seal the deal. The next morning Moriarty told her she could not leave, but she grabbed her caps and ran for it.[3][4] Whoever is right, one thing is certain: Silver's life is miserable. Disgusted by her unsavory past, she has gotten hooked on Psycho trying to suppress the memories.[5][6]

  • No Karma will be lost for killing her if she is first told "calm down, before I put you down."
  • If the Lone Wanderer asks her if she still offers her services, she will scowl at them.

  2. The Lone Wanderer: "Sure, anything to get the information."
    Colin Moriarty: "Eager, eh? Good... I like that. It's nice to have a doer in this shithole of a town for a change. This junkie bitch named Silver borrowed quite a few caps from me... claimed she could start funneling Jet and Psycho to me for a good price. Problem is she scrammed with the loot and set herself up in Springvale so she can inject herself into a stupor. Get the caps she owes me and they're yours. Yours to pay me with anyway. He he he he he."

  3. The Lone Wanderer: "Slow down. Tell me your side of the story."
    Sara Silver: "Look, I used to work for that slob. Doing... you know... favors for guys. Well, I got sick and tired of it. I told Moriarty I'm taking my share of the caps and leaving. I even slept with the pig to seal the deal. Next morning he tells me I couldn't leave. So I bolted. I took my money and ran. Now he's branded me a thief and a junkie and sent his cronies to find me. I guess I need a new hiding place."

  4. The Lone Wanderer: "Just hand over the caps, and I'll be out of your way."
    Sara Silver: "Owe HIM some caps? He's a liar! He just wants you to kill me! Those caps are mine, fair and square."

  5. The Lone Wanderer: "I don't know. Maybe Moriarty's right and you're just a junkie."
    Sara Silver: "Look... I feel awful about what I used to have to do for a living, okay? I use the Psycho to make the memories go away. Who the hell are you to judge me? Tell Moriarty he can take his fucking caps and shove them up his ass!"
    (Silver's dialogue)
  6. The Lone Wanderer: "What will you do now?"
    Sara Silver: "Who knows. Shoot myself up until I forget who I am? The Wasteland sucks, kid. Just get used to it."

  1. 1.0 1.1 Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.97: "Silver
    Silver, 22, was a prostitute who worked for Colin Moriarty in Megaton before they had a falling out. She ran away with her share of her earnings (or so she says) and is hiding out in Springvale, just outside of Vault 101. Silver is now a pitiful Psycho junkie and lives her life in constant fear of reprisal from Moriarty. Her name comes from her very light blond, almost silvery hair."
