Marco (The Pitt)

Marco is a Pitt slave who works in the Pitt's Mill, in the year 2277.
==Background==
Marco is a mechanically-minded member of the Pitt slaves who is currently operating and maintaining the equipment in the Mill's rotary press control room. Secretly, however, he is also constructing improvised weaponry to assist in the eventual uprising against the Pitt raiders led by his friend Midea and former Pitt raider Wernher.Marco: "Hey… not so loud. The bosses can’t see what I’m up to over here."(Marco's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "So where can I get some weapons?"Midea: "I can't really help you there. Ask around. Maybe check with Marco in the Mill. He's been making some of our tools into weapons. You might even be able to find a gun on one of the dead bosses out in the Steelyard. They- what was that?"(Midea's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "I guess you're right. What are you working on?"Marco: "Weapons. Lot's of 'em. There's something coming... and soon. So, I take the crap we find out in the yard and some of the tools we use, and I make them into stuff we can fight the bosses with."(Marco's dialogue)Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.83: "Marco:Nervous and slightly scatterbrained, Marco runs the equipment in the Rotary Press Control Room, which is constantly seizing up and breaking down. He's part of the uprising, knows Midea well, and keeps a repurposed Steel Saw for those who wish to challenge authority."" He does this by upgrading the steel saws with scavenged car engine parts, turning them into formidable auto axes with which the slaves can fight the raiders.The Lone Wanderer: "I need a weapon. Can you help me out?"Marco: "Yeah... you're the one Midea told me about. Wernher sent you, right? I can help you out. Take this. It's called an Auto Axe. Nice, huh? I make 'em out of the old car parts the breakers drag in from the city. Do what you can with it, just be careful around the bosses. Make a wrong move and you're done."(Marco's dialogue)Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 112: "Sharing some basic qualities with the Ripper but more impressive and harmful, the auto axe is a steel saw fitted with car engine parts to increase its attack damage. Obtain the initial auto axe in The Pitt (The Pitt: Zone B) from a Pitt slave named Marco. The weapon can tear through foes quickly; hold down attack to inflict continuous enemy damage." However, he will only supply these weapons to slaves that he knows will assist in the uprising when the time comes.The Lone Wanderer: "I need a weapon. Can you help me out?"Marco: "I don't know you, stranger. I need these for the boys I know are dedicated to the cause. Sorry I can't help you out."(Marco’s dialogue) Some of the other Pitt slaves in the Mill are working harder in order to conceal Marco's illicit activities from the bosses.Pitt slave: "The more we work, the less attention the bosses pay to what Marco is up to."(Pitt slave's dialogue)
If the Lone Wanderer has previously spoken to Midea about acquiring weaponry, Marco will supply them with their own auto axe and warn them to be careful with it around the bosses, as one wrong move would spell their death. If they have not spoken to Midea, he will say that he doesn’t know them and will not give them the weapon, as they are needed for those he knows to be loyal to the cause. 
The Lone Wanderer can also threaten to reveal Marco’s secret, to which he fearlessly challenges them to reveal it to Brand, a Pitt slave who is known for revealing secrets to the Pitt raiders in exchange for better treatment and bonuses.The Lone Wanderer: "Oh yeah? Why shouldn't I just tell them what you're up to?"Marco: "Why would you? They'll probably thank you for the information with a bullet to the head. They don't give a rat's ass about you."(Marco's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Maybe I'll go tell them anyway."Marco: "Why would you? They'll probably thank you for the information with a bullet to the head. They don't give two shits about you. Does ratting me out still sound like a good idea? If so, go squeal to Brand. That little rodent will be happy to hear what you have to say. Now, get the fuck out of my face. I got work to do."(Marco's dialogue) If the Lone Wanderer does as Marco challenges them to do, Brand will gladly accept the information and thank them for giving him the ability to get revenge on Marco "after all he’s done to me."The Lone Wanderer: "Marco is making weapons."Brand: "I knew that bastard was up to something. Finally! After all he's done to me, I can get him! Here's something for your trouble. I can't thank you enough for this one."(Brand's dialogue) This will ultimately result in Marco being killed by the Pitt raiders as punishment for the conspiracy.
