“The weird solitude, the great silence, the grim desolation, are the very things with which every desert wanderer eventually falls in love. You think that strange perhaps? Well, the beauty of the ugly was sometime a paradox, but today people admit its truth; and the grandeur of the desolate is just paradoxical, yet the desert gives it proof.”— John C. Van Dyke, The Desert, 1901
Hello, my name is Kate and I serve as a bureaucrat here at Nukapedia. I am delighted by all object and location articles, especially world objects, signs, posters, and placards. I love to examine them for tiny details and parse out what they can tell us about the world.
About me
I am a lawful good, dyed-in-the-wool New Vegas admirer, Fallout 76 convert, clumsy dataminer, and floopin' powerhouse editor that is oppressively joyful and full of cheeky shenanigans. I am a real world doctor living outside of Sandy Valley in the Mojave Desert. I am grateful for the opportunity to help improve the wiki and support its community.
If you are new to editing and want to learn more, check out the welcome hub or consider joining us at the Vault Academy. In any case, don't hesitate to let me know if I can help you out in any way. I am here to assist you!
Happy trails!
