==Background==
The aliens aboard Mothership Zeta possess a large number of them stacked on racks in the research lab. One particular observation room has a lone Buttercup in the center surrounded by five dead test subjects.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.710: "A deactivated Giddyup Buttercup lies motionless with “test subject” corpses strewn around her! It appears that Giddyup Buttercup could be programmed to inflict horrific damage on the squishier parts of human anatomy! With this shocking revelation still fresh in your mind, drop down into the Buttercup warehouse. The horsies are all full-sized except one Buttercup Toy on the end of a shelf on the west side of the warehouse. Shoot it to knock it down if you want it. Then head north, back to the lower production chamber, and back around to the initial production facility. Exit the way you came, or better yet, via the Teleportation Matrix in the test room where the corpses lie. Activate the control to open the door you couldn’t initially open when you first entered the Cargo Hold, allowing you to access the Engineering Core quickly."
