Henry Young

Henry Young is a handyman who lives in Rivet City with his wife, Christie, and daughter, C.J. in 2277.
==Background==
Henry's responsibility is general handiwork in Rivet City. Because of the frequency of repairs and the size of the settlement, he rarely has time to see his daughter C.J. Henry frequently laments the lack of people in his line of work and is privately frustrated with how few residents seem to pull their weight.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.76: "Henry YoungMarried to Christie the cleaner, Henry's job is a general handyman on Rivet City, and with such a vast vessel, he rarely has time to see his daughter C.J. He's also prone to moaning about the lack of people in his line of work, and is secretly fuming at how few residents seem to pull their weight."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)Henry Young: "This place could use a few more people willing to work. Everything is falling apart and I'm the only one willing to fix it.""I'm busy. I've got a lot of repairs to make."(Henry Young’s Dialogue) Despite his attempts to keep his frustrations private he cannot help but to show some disdain and pity for hangar deck residents, barring Seagrave Holmes. As he is about the only other person more familiar with the city than he is.Seagrave Holmes: "Hello, Henry. I just got in some new torc wrench and some electrical test equipment. You should take a look at them when you're done eating."Henry Young: "Good idea, Seagrave. I'll be by later."(Rivet City conversations; Seagrave Holmes' and Henry Young's dialogue) This belief has since metastasized into a sense of superiority, one he and several of his peers share. This belief isn't that much of a stretch of reasoning, as most of, if not all of the hangar deck denizens don't conduct themselves in a moral, or at least self aware, manner.The Lone Wanderer: "What do you know about Rivet City's history?"Henry Young: "Hmm... Despite all my time working here, I've got no clue. Seagrave Holmes is about the only person I know who's more familiar with the place. Born and raised on the hangar deck, but don't hold that against him. He can't help where he came from, and his heart's in the right place."(Henry Young’s Dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What is this I hear about the Hangar Deck and Upper Deck?"Henry Young: "We do the best we can to take care of everyone on the Hangar Deck. It's not their fault they can't do better for themselves."(Henry Young’s Dialogue) Such as the case with Tammy Hargrave, and emotionally abusive drunk who tried to keep their children apart due to her vanity, James Hargrave: "Mom, can I go to C.J.'s?"Tammy Hargrave: "No. I don't want you hanging around that little bitch. She and her parents think they are so much better than me."James Hargrave: "She's not a bitch, you are! I hate you! You're ruining my life."(Rivet City conversations; James and Tammy Hargrave's dialogue) Tammy Hargrave: "Stop that! Don't make me smack you. I oughta lock you in your goddamn room, you little brat. And stay away from that C.J. bitch from now on."James Hargrave: '"I wasn't doing anything! And C.J. is my friend. I hate you! I hope you die!"(Rivet City conversations; Tammy and James Hargrave's dialogue) rather then actually caring about her son.Brock: "Tammy, why don't you take the night off and spend it with James? If there's a repeat of the other night, Belle is going to kick you out."Tammy Hargrave: "James? Who knows where that little shit has run off to. Mind your own business, Brock. I'm going to get a drink."(Rivet City conversations; Brock's and Tammy Hargrave's dialogue)Tammy Hargrave: "Did I ever tell you about my husband? Got me pregnant with that brat James. Then he ran off. Asshole."Zimmer: "I could really care less about you and your brat, Madam."(Rivet City conversations; Tammy Hargrave's and Zimmer's dialogue) 
Although his daughter's friendship with James Hargrave is generally looked at with concern by other Rivet City residents, his wife Christie instead hopes that C.J. will be able to have a calming effect on the rebellious James.The Lone Wanderer: "Why do you let that James Hargrave kid play with your daughter?"Christie Young: "That poor child. His mother, Tammy Hargrave, is a very troubled woman. She spends too much time down in the Muddy Rudder, drinking and using foul language. I feel so sorry for him. I think CJ is a good influence on him, but I do worry about the two of them."(Christie Young's dialogue)Harkness: "C.J., don't do everything James tells you. He's a bad example."C.J. Young: "James isn't so bad, Chief. He's my friend. I'll make sure he's good."(Rivet City conversations; Harkness' and C.J. Young's dialogue)Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition pp.65-66: "Christie YoungSpending her time on the upper deck where she rests (and sometimes can be heard yelling in her sleep), and cleaning this expansive vessel, Christie is Henry Young's wife, and C.J.'s mother. She's not a huge fan of her daughter's friendship with James Hargrave, but is hoping her offspring will have a calming influence on the wayward young man."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)James Hargrave: "Hey C.J., let's play killer. You pretend to be my Mom, and I'll pretend to be a serial killer."C.J. Young: "That doesn't sound like any fun. Let's just play hide and seek."(Rivet City conversations; James Hargrave's and C.J. Young's dialogue) C.J. Young: "Dad, can I be excused to go play with James?"Henry Young: "Not yet, sweetheart. Finish you meal first."(Rivet City conversations; C.J. and Henry Young's dialogue) She confides in her husband Henry who reinforces this belief.Christie Young: "Henry, I'm not sure I like C.J. playing with that Hargrave boy. His mother is just dreadful, even if she is on the upper deck."Henry Young: "Don't make a fuss over it. Their just kids. Besides, maybe C.J. will rub off on James and not the other way around."(Rivet City conversations; Christie and Henry Young's dialogue) Whether or not he knows about it working, C.J., at the behest of Father Clifford has tried to bring James to Sunday Church services. His mother Tammy keeps him from attending.Clifford: "Saint Monica bless you, C.J. Have you spoken to James about coming to church? I'd really like to see him here."C.J. Young: "Thank you, Father. I tried, but his mother said no. Sorry."(Rivet City conversations; Clifford's and C.J. Young's dialogue) 
The Youngs are a family of devout believers. They go to church every Sunday, taking their place in the pews and thank God for blessing their family.Christie Young: ""Henry Young: "Amen. We have each other, and we have C.J."(Rivet City conversations; Christie and Henry Young's dialogue) Henry Young: "A thoughtful message, Father."Father Clifford: "Thank you, Henry. And God bless you."(Rivet City conversations; Henry Young's and Clifford's dialogue) Henry Young: ""Diego: "He was? I mean, I know. He tries very hard Mister Young.

I pray every night for her success."(Rivet City conversations; Clifford's and Henry Young's dialogue) as he frequently works for Dr. Madison Li and her science team.Madison Li: "Henry, do you have those readings ready for me yet?"Henry Young: "Yes, Doctor Li. I've recalibrated with them."(Rivet City conversations; Madison Li's and Henry Young's dialogue) Garza: "I have some spare time. Do you need anything?"Henry Young: "Not right now. Check back with me later."(Rivet City conversations; Garza's and Henry Young's dialogue) Janice Kaplinski: "The waste water in the hydroponic gardens isn't draining properly. Could you look at it?"Henry Young: "I'll check it out before the end of the day."(Rivet City conversations; Janice Kaplinski's and Henry Young's dialogue)Christie Young: "How was work today, Henry? Is Doctor Li almost finished?"Henry Young: "The transformer is still touch and go. Doctor Li hopes her most recent tests will be good."(Rivet City conversations; Christie and Henry Young's dialogue) Clifford: "Saint Monica bless you, Henry. The work you are doing with Doctor Li is blessed by God as well."Henry Young: "Thank you, Father.

Is Doctor Li almost finished?"Henry Young: "The transformer is still touch and go.

You should have power for a while."Madison Li: "It's about time. Sorry, Henry. I know you're doing the best you can, but these delays are frustrating."(Rivet City conversations; Henry Young's and Madison Li's dialogue) Henry Young: "Garza, you stacked those crates on the cables again. They need to be moved or you'll short out the system."Garza: "Sorry Henry. I'll remove them before the end of the day."(Rivet City conversations; Henry Young's and Garza's dialogue) Janice Kaplinski: "They're fine. However, I have two others that are making odd noises. Please check them out soon."(Rivet City conversations; Henry Young's and Janice Kaplinski's dialogue) While there he, like everyone else, has been pestered by Dr. Zimmer about his missing android.Zimmer: "Excuse me, sir. Have you noticed anyone acting peculiarly in Rivet City?"Henry Young: "Hey, I've got my own problems. I don't have time to be on the lookout for yours."(Rivet City conversations; Zimmer's and Henry Young's dialogue) Despite how long he has been working for the city he doesn't know it's history. Should he be asked he can point the Lone Wanderer towards Seagrave Holmes, the second best source for it.The Lone Wanderer: "What do you know about Rivet City's history?"Henry Young: "Hmm... Despite all my time working here, I've got no clue. Seagrave Holmes is about the only person I know who's more familiar with the place.

Should James Hargrave have been convinced to runaway in a feeble attempt at getting attention C.J. will follow him. If this does happen both Henry and Christie Young will go into a panic searching for them. Should the Lone Wanderer find and return them they will be relieved.Henry Young: "This isn't a good time. My daugher, C.J. is missing.""If you hear anything, please let me know right away."(Henry Young’s Dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "I found C.J.
