Wan Yang

“...However; you will need an authorization code to trigger the self-destruct sequence. One of our field operatives in your area, Agent Yang, has these codes hidden in a dental capsule, but her current whereabouts are unknown. Locate and rendezvous with Agent Yang, then destroy the submarine. Report to your safehouse for extraction information when the mission is complete.”— Espionage debriefing holotape

Wan Yang (Chinese: 万洋, Wàn Yáng; whose aliases include: Jamie Patrick, Maria Lopez, Stanley Derrick and Five-Claw-Dragon) was a Chinese spy in Point Lookout prior to the Great War.^[1] Her remains are located in the Turtledove Detention Camp in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.

Background[]

Wan Yang was a Chinese spy active in the pre-War United States, arrested as a suspect during the investigation of the Niagara Sabotage in 2062. She managed to escape during a transfer to Albany, New York,^[2] and was recaptured years later, when local community informants of Point Lookout provided intelligence leading to her arrest by the DIA.^[3] She was then transferred to the Turtledove Detention Camp.^[3]

In Yang's interrogation report, the officers at the detention camp noted that she "demonstrates remarkable resistance to interrogation," but yielded information concerning the Chinese intelligence community; however, it is unknown what Yang revealed as the contents were marked as classified.^[2] A camp terminal entry reported Yang's death during interrogation, citing "method D interrogation" as the cause.^[4] For the official records, the medical examiner listed her cause of death as natural and her remains were placed in locker TD-0181.^[4] The submarine self-destruct codes for the SSN-37-1A remain implanted in a dental capsule of Yang's, as they were not discovered during the interrogation or autopsy.^[5]

Notes[]

Wanted posters for Yang can be found in the lighthouse and in the People's Bank of Point Lookout. Interacting with it results in the Wanted Person: Yang, W. note added to the player character's inventory.
- Yang is also mentioned in terminal entries at the naval recruiting center and Turtledove Detention Camp, as well as various holotapes relating to The Velvet Curtain.
Her skeletal corpse can be found in the morgue of the detention camp as part of The Velvet Curtain.
- An alternate, decaying version of the corpse can be found sticking out of an open safe in the test cell "DLC04zTestMarkiepoo", which can only be accessed through console commands. This body is actually a container for the submarine's self-destruct codes.

Appearances[]
