Mel (Fallout 4)

Mel is a tech expert associated with Bobbi No-Nose incarcerated in Diamond City's security office in 2287.
==Background==
Mel is an old associate of Bobbi No-Nose, who previously worked with her on a few jobs before he got in trouble with the law. He was caught trying to reprogram the automated bartender Wellingham, from the Colonial Taphouse, to give him free beer. This led to Mel being arrested by security and his incarceration in Diamond City's lockup. According to the jailer, he would have done the same had he the know-how.
Before he was arrested, Mel was working on an advanced utility eyebot named Sonya and an improved version with better offensive capabilities, Sonya Mk. II.
When the tunnel workers she hired to assist with her heist called the Big Dig are driven off by mirelurks, Bobbi sends her new gun, the Sole Survivor, to free her old associate from jail, who has the robot capable of speeding up the digging.

* Mel may join the player character simply by stealing the cell key.
* When activating a Port-A-Diner, Mel will say "Yeah, I wouldn't touch that pie. I don't trust anything that looks that perfectly preserved after 200 years."
* According to Mel, he and Bobbi once broke into an old Vault that was heavily irradiated. Mel suffered from chronic vomiting afterwards.Mel: "I just hope this isn't like when we tried to break into that Vault and it ended up being heavily irradiated. Chronic vomitting. Not my favorite thing, I learned."(Mel's dialogue)
