Vallincourt

Scribe Vallincourt is a scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel and one of Head Scribe Rothchild's assistants .
==Background==
A member of the Order of the Shield, Vallincourt is as beautiful as she is intelligent. She assists Head Scribe Rothchild in weapons research and assorted gadgetry, as part of the Brotherhood's mission of preserving technology. In fact, she is what the Brotherhood considers a hardliner, a fervent believer in its original way. While she did not join the Brotherhood Outcasts when the schism happened, she remained skeptical about Elder Lyons' new direction.
===Broken Steel===
After the activation of Project Purity and the breaking of the Enclave at the Jefferson Memorial, her attitude softens.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.95:"Scribe Vallincourt:Scribe Vallincourt is one of Scribe Rothchild's assistants. Her specialty is weapons technology and gadgets; very useful for the Brotherhood of Steel's tech gathering missions. She is as intelligent as she is beautiful, but doesn't flirt or involve herself in anything else except for her work for the Brotherhood. She is such a fervent believer in the original ways of the Brotherhood that she is a bit wary of Elder Lyons's new direction, but the activation of Project Purity has changed her mind as of late." The fact that the Brotherhood is prosecuting an intense war against a technologically superior foe certainly matters, as Vallincourt gets the chance to examine Enclave technology and even reverse-engineer it: the deathclaw control scrambler created by her is designed to broadcast an amplified control signal that would override the Enclave's, causing deathclaws implanted with the domestication unit to turn on their masters, while keeping the user safe from harm.The Lone Wanderer: "I hear you can help me get into Old Olney."Scribe Vallincourt: "Well, maybe. I mean, possibly. I think so, but I'm not certain. I don't know how much this will actually help... I mean, I'm not quite sure how effective it might be since it hasn't really been field tested... But I think I've figured out a way to override the signals the Enclave is using to control their Deathclaws. Here, take this. It's only a prototype, so please don't lose it."(Scribe Vallincourt's dialogue) The Lone Wanderer gets the opportunity to test it during their infiltration of Olney Powerworks,The Lone Wanderer: "What exactly is this thing?"Scribe Vallincourt: "It's a semi-standard transmitter, only I altered the frequency modulation and jacked up the output. Based on some experiments I ran here in the lab, it should override the signals the Enclave uses to control Deathclaws. Don't worry -- It's constantly broadcasting, so you don't need to do anything. Just don't lose it. And so far, I have no evidence of adverse effects of EM interference in humans. Animals maybe, but not humans. Anyway, it doesn't have a huge broadcast range, but it should be enough."(Scribe Vallincourt's dialogue) with the override keeping them safe from Enclave deathclaws.The Lone Wanderer: "How does the scrambler work?"Scribe Vallincourt: "It overrides the Enclave signal, so as far as the Deathclaw is concerned, you're in control. And remember, it works passively. As long as you have the scrambler on your person, it'll do its job."(Scribe Vallincourt's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Is there anything I need to be concerned about?"Scribe Vallincourt: "No, I don't think so. As long as you're within range of the Enclave's transmitter, your signal should be the one the Deathclaw follows. If you get too far away, well I'm not sure what's going to happen. I think there might be some bad effects... for the Deathclaw, not you."(Scribe Vallincourt's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Okay, that's it."Scribe Vallincourt: "All right, then. There have been reports of an Enclave camp southeast of Old Olney, so I'd head there if you want to try it out. I hope the Scrambler ends up being useful. I'd hate to have spent all this time on it and get no results... or bad results. That would be worse."(Scribe Vallincourt's dialogue)
After the Lone Wanderer recovers the Tesla coil, Vallincourt leads the fabrication effort on the Tesla cannons meant to tip the scales in the Brotherhood's favor for the attack on Adams Air Force Base.Citadel terminals; Armory 089A Terminal, Item 908777: "(...) Weapons being created by Scribe Vallincourt's team are being stored in several armory locations for safety. Scribe Vallincourt ordered 4 of the Tesla Cannons be placed in this armory and locked down in secure area." The eventual destruction of the mobile base crawler only increases her workload: after she restored a captured vertibird to working condition in time for it to evacuate the Lone Wanderer from the base, she has begun to catalogue and reverse-engineer Enclave technology,The Lone Wanderer: "So, what happens to the Brotherhood now?"Scribe Vallincourt: "Now? Now the real work begins. I've got just piles and piles of Enclave technology to take apart and put back together. Who do you think got our captured Vertibird flying? Now let me get back to work before Rothchild assigns me trash detail."(Scribe Vallincourt's dialogue) and assists Rothchild in his attempts to rebuild Liberty Prime (though deciphering her superior's schematics and wiring diagrams proves a challenge).The Lone Wanderer: "How's the reconstruction of Liberty Prime going?"Scribe Vallincourt: "Don't even get me started... Trying to decipher Rothchild's schematics and wiring diagrams is exhausting. But we'll get there. Like Rothchild says, 'Liberty Prime will walk again!' I believe him, but I think it's going to take a really long time."(Scribe Vallincourt's dialogue)
