Commander Sofia Daguerre is a potential ally and former astronaut found in Appalachia.
Background[]
A veteran of the U.S.S.A. space program, Commander Daguerre originally lived in Chicago as a child. As an adult, she went through college where she met and befriended Emerson Hale. After finishing college, Sofia moved to Washington, D.C., where she then applied for the astronaut program until she was accepted.[1][2][3]
In her time in the U.S.S.A., she worked with Hale again and unknowingly participated in a long-term suspended animation experiment called the Deep Sleep project. She and her crewmates Bernard, Nowak and Lee went into forced hibernation shortly after their ship achieved orbit in 2070. They were supposed to wake up in 2075, with a possible extension until 2080. However, due to the Great War, the experiment unintentionally continued until 2103, when the ship crashed in Appalachia.
Unaware of what had befallen the world, Commander Daguerre managed to limp away from her crash site and find refuge in one of the Free States' old bunkers until being found by a Vault Dweller of Vault 76. After being told of the fate of the US as a result of a nuclear war, Sofia asks the Vault Dweller(s) to help locate her crew and also if they would be willing to let her stay at their C.A.M.P. until she discovers their fate by asking for a special U.S.S.A. console to be set up to help her with deciphering what happened since her time in space.
Sofia and the Vault Dweller later discovered that the true goal of the Deep Sleep Program was to create a link between the subject's brain and an A.I. called ATHENA, with the objective of creating a surveillance A.I. that could monitor everything from the point of view of all connected subjects. Although her crewmates were aware of the original goal of the project and were not supposed to have been part of the experiment, they were forced to participate once they were in orbit.
She claims she was once aboard "The Space Station," which probably refers to the Valiant-1.[4] The wreckage of her escape pod found in the Mire is identical to the architecture of the Valiant-1.[5]
She is an avid video game player.[6] She also owned a collection of Unstoppables comics, which she took with her into space, but lost in the chaos. The Mistress of Mystery was her favorite character.[7]

Notes[]
- Daguerre can become the Vault Dweller's girlfriend regardless of gender, so she may be interpreted as being bisexual or pansexual. This is similar to Beckett in Fallout 76 and certain other companions in Fallout 4.
- Daguerre wears a unique spacesuit with the name tag removed.
- She is a vegetarian.[4] This is revealed if Grahm passes by the player's C.A.M.P. and engages Daguerre in conversation.
- Daguerre mentions meeting Grahm while out on a stroll. He was selling things, and offered to visit the C.A.M.P. to check up on her.[8]
Notable quotes[]
- "I just can't shake these nightmares. Floating in space forever... Just, why?"
- "We just launched in 2070. Our mission is to uncover the mysteries of Deep Sleep in space. Surely this was on the news?"
- "Wait... what are you saying? Decades ago? That doesn't make sense. I don't have time for jokes. Where am I, exactly?"
- "This isn't funny. A war. A nuclear war? That was a joke... right? So how long have I..."
- "I can't believe everything went to hell while I was asleep. I thought they would have figured things out before... I thought we had time."
- "There is absolutely no way I can think of you and *not* use the word statuesque. Mhmm. I've got just the thing for somebody with such composure..."
- "Oh, I love it when you have that look on your face. Cogs churning, things falling into place. Speaks directly to my nerdy heart."
- "How do I put this? Oh. No way in hell."
- "Sometimes I think... I woke up in a pile of smouldering debris. And I met someone... a stranger. And over time, well... that stranger isn't a stranger anymore at all. I don't believe in luck or fate or any of that, but I do know that I wouldn't have changed a thing."
Appearances[]
Sofia Daguerre appears in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.
Behind the scenes[]
- Sofia has several lines recorded for the quest Thicker Than Water. She mentions Ronny as well as having a brother, suggesting parts of Beckett's history were originally intertwined with Sofia's story.
- Sofia's line about floating in space forever has become a joke in the Fallout 76 community, due to how frequently she expresses this perhaps strangely-worded sentiment. It was later echoed nearly word-for-word by Steven Scarberry, a C.A.M.P. ally added in a later update: "I just can't shake these nightmares. Floating in darkness forever... What if I cannot find His Light?"

- ↑ A Vault Dweller: "[Luck] Ever visit Appalachia before all this?"
Sofia Daguerre: "Oddly... yes. I camped out here a few times while I was in graduate school with a good friend, Emerson. Ah, those were the days. We were in the same physics programs at college and hit it off. It ended up not working out for us, but we remained friends... Which was good because he joined the U.S.S.A. towards the end of my astronaut training. Ha! That would have been awkward."
(Sofia Daguerre's dialogue) - ↑ A Vault Dweller: "What's Emerson's deal?"
Sofia Daguerre: "He's always seemed a bit odd, honestly. Even back before I launched. We used to be friends in college, but... people change so much in college."
(Sofia Daguerre's dialogue) - ↑ A Vault Dweller: "[Flirt] I'm dying to know more about you, Sofia. You're intriguing."
Sofia Daguerre: "I dunno. That's the high level overview anyway. I'm not a weirdo, if that was what you were asking. Had a pet turtle for most of my life. That *was* pretty serious. Hmm... other than that... I had a few relationships. Nothing serious. After college, I went to the D.C. area and applied for the astronaut program a couple times until I was accepted. My folks were so proud... Okay. I'm from Chicago, parents moved there when I was little..."
(Sofia Daguerre's dialogue) - ↑ 4.0 4.1 Grahm: "Hey. Hey you. You different than the other squishies. You seem fresh. Not stinky. How so not stinky?"
Sofia Daguerre: "Oh, uh, well. Okay. Thanks? It's probably because I haven't been irradiated and soaked with all the despair yet. No doubt I'll probably start... stinking... soon though. Being in space kept me safe from a lot of things for a while."
Grahm: "SPACE?! You're from... the MOON?! Or... the SUN?! Or... the little TWINKLES?!"
Sofia Daguerre: "The Space Station, yes, but... before it crashed. All that is in the past though --"
Grahm: "Can you take Chally to Space? Chally want to fly someday. Grahm okay with the ground. But Chally have dreams."
Sofia Daguerre: "Uh... I haven't been able to get in touch with the USSA ---"
Grahm: "What do Space people eat? You eat meat? Space meat?! MOON MEAT?"
Sofia Daguerre: "Moon... meat? No. I eat grains, plants, mushrooms... I don't eat meat. Wait... do you think the moon is made of meat?"
Grahm: "Oh! Greenies. Like Chally. SEE? Chally is ready for SPACE! Chally is going to the MOON!"
Sofia Daguerre: "Er... well. I doubt that we could find a helmet ---"
Grahm: "Chally isn't Moo-Moo for long! Soon Chally is MOON-MOON!"
Sofia Daguerre: "Why not? Dream big or don't dream at all... um. I gotta get back to... literally anything else now."
(Grahm and Sofia Daguerre's dialogue) - ↑ Not only is this visible from the surface, but moving the player underground reveals a large interior section of the space station.
- ↑ A Vault Dweller: "How's the holotape game, Sofia?"
Sofia Daguerre: "It's been soothing to play games again -- a few moments of normalcy once more. I think it even helps my headache a bit."
(Sofia Daguerre's dialogue) - ↑ A Vault Dweller: "[Perception] You read comics back... before all this, right?"
Sofia Daguerre: "Yeah, of course! The Unstoppables, Silver Shroud, all of that. Mistress of Mystery was my favorite, of course. I was hoping that the new television show for the Mistress of Mystery would be out when I returned, but... I guess not."
(Sofia Daguerre's dialogue) - ↑ A Vault Dweller: "Maybe you should get out of here and get some fresh air?"
Sofia Daguerre: "I did! Last time you were gone, I went on a short stroll. Didn't go far... but I saw some weird stuff. Just... bizarre. Saw a giant... huge... greenish... man? With a two-headed cow. He was selling things. Super nice fellow. He said he would stop by later. Said he hopes to check on me when he can. I can't wait. It's... such a shock but also amazing!"
(Sofia Daguerre's dialogue)
