'''Somah''' is an abducted [[Slaver (Fallout 3)|slaver]] being held captive in the [[holding cells]] aboard [[Zeta|Mothership ''Zeta'']] in [[Timeline#2277|2277]].
   
 
==Background==
 
==Background==
  +
Somah is one of the few [[Wastelander (Fallout 3)|wastelander]]s unfortunate enough to have stumbled across [[recon craft]] ''[[Theta]]'' and been abducted. Prior to this, she was a slaver working in conjunction with the slavers at [[Paradise Falls]]. She has a sweet, calm disposition that is undercut by a sadistic streak that shows through when she's under stress. She's used to being in charge, but is aware that she's out of her depth aboard the [[Zeta|alien ship]]. Aside from providing supporting fire, she can repair any items that may need fixing.<ref name="FO3 Guide">''[[Fallout 3 Official Game Guide]]''</ref>
Somah can be heard referring to cages in [[Mothership Zeta (vehicle)|Mothership Zeta]] being similar to the "sla- I mean, prisoners back home", circumstantially affiliating her with the [[Slavery|Slavers]]. Other evidence supporting this hypothesis include her [[Merc Outfit|Merc Veteran Outfit]], commonly worn by [[Slavery|Slavers]], and an unused test reference for her in the game files being set to use the Slaver character class. Additionally, Somah admits to working for a group "just doing it for the caps" heard in [[Alien_Captive_Recorded_Log#Alien_Captive_Recorded_Log_22|Alien Captive Recording 22]]. Collectively, this all seems to indicate she either worked as (or is) a slaver, or as a mercenary/mechanic for them. It is actually possible to learn of Somah's past by passing a speech check, using the Lady Killer perk or passing an easier speech check if you found the recording 22. However, due to a bug, these conversation choices are not displayed in the game.

She is located in the same cell you are in when you wake up after the aliens abduct you. She can't tell you much, but does have a plan to escape: she suggests that the aliens want all the humans alive, so they'll just have to fake a fight to make it look like one of them will die. After hitting each other for a while, two aliens will come to the cell door. At this point, Somah becomes a friendly character again and joins the player in their fight against the alien captors.

*While you are fighting the hostile alien ship in the bridge, Somah goes down after a serious hit by the enemy ship. While she is down, you have an option to talk to her. When you select it, you will be able to loot her body (essentially pickpocketing her with a 100% chance of success).

She will fall down and you can loot her "corpse" for your caps and also her ammo too (100 [[Shotgun Shell]]s). Afterward, she will just get up like nothing happened.
 
**Likewise, at the beginning of [[This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough...]], you can use [[Cryo Grenade]]s from [[Elliot Tercorien]] to freeze and loot her, retrieving all your caps without any repercussions. This exploit can be used repeatedly to repair items obtained from the [[Weapons Lab]] at the beginning of [[This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough...]], while she is standing in the hall of the [[Observation Deck]].

She's used to being in charge, but is aware that she's out of her depth aboard the alien ship. Aside from providing supporting fire, she can repair any items that may need fixing.[1]
