==Background==
Thomas Morgan is a young officer of the Intelligence Corps,Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "So... what can the Intelligence Corps do for you?"(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) working in Intelligence and Logistics (I&L).Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Anything else that I&L can help with?"(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) His role includes identifying targets and providing soldiers with intelligence and assets necessary to take them out - he points, they shoot.Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Lieutenant Thomas Morgan, Intelligence and Logistics at your service. I point, you shoot."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) He carries out his duties with a wry sense of humor,The Lone Wanderer: "Hey, I didn't sign up for this."Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "None of us did. We all just end up doing what we're supposed to do and hopefully make the enemy die in the process. Anyway, I'm here to give you a hand with Intelligence and Logistics. Whatever you need, I'm your guy."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "So... you're in charge of Patterson's Suicide Squad, huh?"The Lone Wanderer: "Suicide Squad? Why do they call it that?"Lieutenant Morgan: "Do I really have to answer that? You aren't going after civilian targets you know... this is the big leagues. Anyway, I'm here to give you a hand with Intelligence and Logistics. Whatever you need, I'm your guy."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) which is his method of coping with being posted to Alaska, fighting one of the best militaries in the world,The Lone Wanderer: "I have to go now."Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "You watch yourself out there... the Chinese Army is one of the best fighting forces on Earth."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) in freezing temperatures.The Lone Wanderer: "Very funny, Lieutenant."Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Hey, all I got to keep me warm out here in this freezebox is my sense of humor. Anyway, I'm here to give you a hand with Intelligence and Logistics. Whatever you need, I'm your guy."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.81: "Lieutenant Thomas MorganLieutenant Morgan is a young officer inside the command tent of U.S. Field Headquarters on the outskirts of the main battlefield. He is witty, sometimes needling, but always professional, and he assists you with knowledge on current objectives and obstacles you may encounter. Offering hints at the best types of weaponry and Strike Teams to pick for particular missions, Morgan is a valuable asset and a keen soldier."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
As part of his duties, Morgan processes intel, combining reconnaissance reports, radar monitoring and other data,Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Radar confirms that the Chinese Bombers are flying in circles now that we have the Listening Post. Nice one!"(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) to provide soldiers and their commander, General Chase, with an accurate picture of the battlefield and the changing situation, as well as identify targets that can weaken the Chinese army and shift the odds in favor of the United States. Part of that effort includes remaining in contact with Washington, monitoring the Liberty Prime project for Chase,General Constantine Chase: "Any word from Washington on my latest request?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Sorry sir, they said the technicians are still dragging their heels a bit on the fusion power plant issues."General Chase: "Well you tell them that if they want their viable liberation contingency ready in case Operation: Anchorage fails, they need to get off their asses!"Lieutenant Morgan: "Affirmative, sir. I'll inform them of your, ummm, displeasure at their progress."(Operation: Anchorage conversations; General Chase's and Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) and ensuring T-51b units reach combat readiness in time for the push towards Anchorage,Constantine Chase: "How's our boys in the suits doing?"Thomas Morgan: "The T-51b units are at 95 percent readiness level. We've had a bit of trouble adapting them to the cold."Constantine Chase: "Well, tell those men they need to be ready. As soon as the Pulse Field is down, we need them cocked, locked and ready to rock."Lieutenant Morgan: "Absolutely sir. I'll make sure they're ready."(Operation: Anchorage conversations; Constantine Chase's and Thomas Morgan's dialogue) to reduce losses to an acceptable level (Morgan estimates that without them, the Army would suffer a staggering 20% losses).General Constantine Chase: "What are we looking at for losses if we pull this off?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "I'd say about 20 percent, sir. But that number significantly decreases if we can get the tin cans in there."General Chase: "Good, good. Keep monitoring the battlefield and let me know when we've punched through the Pulse Field."Lieutenant Morgan: "Sir, yes sir!"(Operation: Anchorage conversations; General Chase's and Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) Strategic targets identified by Morgan include the Chimera Armor Depot, providing fuel to half of Jingwei's division, especially the mighty Chimeras,Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Good work on the Chimera fuel tanks. Half of their division is dead in the water."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) Listening Post Bravo, which is responsible for Chinese reconnaissance, relaying battle information, and directing bombing runs,The Lone Wanderer: "What's the urgency in securing this facility?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Well the Chinese Army not only uses the Listening Post to spot our forces and relay battle information, they also use it for air traffic control. If we can get a hold of that facility, we can stop them from bombing the living hell out of us any chance they get."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) and the pulse field preventing robots and power armor from attacking the Chinese HQ directly.The Lone Wanderer: "This is the last objective?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Yup. If you take down the Pulse Field, we'll send the T-51b shock troops in to blast through their defenses, and then it's on to the Headquarters."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) He has a wealth of knowledge about Chinese military capabilities, and respects their military prowess, especially the fearsome Crimson Dragoons.The Lone Wanderer: "Give me the latest on the Pulse Field."Lieutenant Morgan: "The problem out there isn't the Field itself... I mean, you wouldn't be foolish enough to drag robots out there with you. The place is crawling with their stealth units... the Crimson Dragoons. If you spot something out of the corner of your eye, shoot first and ask questions later or it's the last thing you'll ever see."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Give me the latest on the Listening Post."Lieutenant Morgan: "Oh, this place is a honey pot, lemme tell you. Not only is it swarming with regular ground troops, but they've put their best guys in there as well, the Crimson Dragoons. I hear those guys start training as soldiers right from the womb, so watch yourself in there."(Thomas Morgan's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Give me the latest on the Chimera Depot."Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "You've got two fuel tanks to destroy. One in the central courtyard of the facility and one near the rear gate. This place is one tough nut to crack. Not only do you have the Chimeras to contend with, but the place is heavily populated by infantry."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) This allows him to analyze Chinese defenses in depth and figure out not just where to attack, but also how to achieve objectives quickly and efficiently.The Lone Wanderer: "How am I going to destroy the Pulse Field?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "There's a bunker the Chinese have set up to monitor the area somewhere beyond the emitters. An operator in the bunker can deactivate the field to allow their own guys to pass through unharmed. If you can get to the bunker, you could set the field to overload and blow it out permanently."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What does the Pulse Field do?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Well, it generates a grid-based, localized electromagnetic pulse. Anything mechanical that goes through there gets all its circuits fried. The only thing that can punch through their defenses there are the T-51b's, so you can see the problem."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What can I expect to find inside the post?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "The Chinese have a team of commandos they call their Crimson Dragoons. They're pretty much the best soldiers they've got. That Listening Post is filled with those units. I'd be extra careful in there if I were you -- they aren't about to give that place up lightly."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)
He also ensures that soldiers equip themselves with the correct gear for upcoming missions, using requisition terminals that ensure proper paperwork is filled (though he dislikes the amount of bureaucracy),The Lone Wanderer: "I need some new gear. Can you set me up?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Can do. Just use the Requisition Terminal here in the Command Tent. Pick whatever loadout you need and the terminal will dispense a Requisition Tape. Bring it to the Quartermaster Officer and you're all set. "(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue) and mind the strike team limits: he's well aware that Chinese sensing devices are very sensitive and soldiers need to maintain the smallest possible footprint to avoid early detection.The Lone Wanderer: "Can't I just take a whole bunch of guys with me?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "No way. The bigger your Strike Team, the bigger your footprint on all of the Chinese sensing devices. You need to think small. The Recruitment Markers I gave you will recommend what size you keep your team in order to maintain the smallest footprint possible. So to put it simply, you pick a big clunky robot, and you won't have much room left in the team for many other units. You decide."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What's the point of taking out the Chimera Depot?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Well, I don't know about you, but if I was running across the main battlefield I'd like a few less of those monstrosities shooting at me. Take out the Depot and they have nowhere to rearm and refuel their armor. Otherwise, they'll blast your team to bits."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What exactly IS a Chimera?"Lieutenant Thomas Morgan: "Put simply, it's a co-opted mining rig that's been changed into an armored vehicle -- bigger and tougher than any tank we have in our arsenal. The Chinese fitted the vehicle with multiple weapons, reinforced the armor and outfitted them for long range."(Lieutenant Morgan's dialogue)
