==Background==
Described as blonde and extremely attractive, Vikki Goldman and her dark-haired partner Juan Cruz make for a very eerily wholesome pair.Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman's character descriptions: "{100}{}{You see an eerily wholesome couple.}""{101}{}{You see Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman, two of New Reno's more notorious film stars.}""{102}{}{You see a dark-haired man and a blonde woman, both of whom are extremely attractive. They exude a slutty "come-hither" vibe.}"(Fcjuavki.msg) The two are well known for their long film careers, including such timeless classics like Top Bun, Frisky Bizness and Days of Rubber.Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{103}{}{Him: Hi! I'm Juan Cruz! Her: And I'm Vikki Goldman! Both: We're celebrities! And we endorse Hubology! Both: Please note that any similarities between us and people or institutions, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.}"The Chosen One: "{105}{}{Celebrities? What makes you celebrities?}"Vikki Goldman: "{121}{}{Her: Why, we were in the movie business in New Reno. We made hundreds of films, many of them classics, like "Top Bun," "Frisky Bizness," and "Days of Rubber". That's what makes us celebrities.}"(Fcjuavki.msg)
The pair is thoroughly invested into the workings of the cult and help write their doctrines. In particular, they focus on Dick Hubbell's scrapbooks, notes and aborted manuscripts, as well as grocery lists.The Chosen One: "{124}{}{Who cares if YOU endorse it? Shouldn't I make my own choices?}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{127}{}{Her: Oh, yes, you should definitely make your own choices. Him: And with the Hub's latest book, you can learn how to make the RIGHT choice!}"The Chosen One: "{128}{}{His latest book? Isn't he dead?}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{143}{}{Him: Dead? Ha ha! Perhaps. We like to think that he aligned all his neurodynes and went to join the Star Father. Her: We have extensive use of his jotted notes and barely-begun manuscripts to spread the word of the Hub. Him: For example, we found a scrap that said: "2 doz. eggs/Milk/TP". Obviously this is significant. It needs to be heard.}"The Chosen One: "{144}{}{Err... right. I have more questions.}"(Fcjuavki.msg)
Their personal belief is that free will is important, if one's free will involves choosing Hubology and submitting to the Great Wheel.The Chosen One: "{129}{}{The "right" choice. Sure. What about free will?}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{151}{}{Her: Of course you have your free will. You have the choice to allow your neurodynes to be filled with the filth of the world. Him: You have the choice to live a joyless, meaningless existence in the rat race. Both: Or you can come to a greater understanding of life through the Great Wheel.}"(Fcjuavki.msg) When in doubt, Cruz and Goldman are there to guide potential initiates to the path of an AHS-1.The Chosen One: "{136}{}{Shouldn't I make my own choices, rather than let celebrities guide me?}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{166}{}{Him: That's very forward-thinking of you. Her: Very enlightened. Him: We offer our opinions to people - and if our celebrity can attract more believers, we're anxious to use it.}"(Fcjuavki.msg) They thoroughly enjoy their work, with Vikki concurring with Juan upon his remarks that it makes them sexually stimulated.The Chosen One: "{134}{}{How do I join?}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{170}{}{Him: Well, it's very simple. We just give you this informational holodisc. Her: ... you sit through a short movie... Him... and then you go talk to AHS-7! Her: Easy, isn't it?}"The Chosen One: "{171}{}{Let's do it.}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{187}{}{Her: That wasn't so bad, was it? Him: Now just go talk to AHS-7 and we'll be comrades in Hubology! Her: I'm so excited! Him: Getting new recruits makes me horny. Her: Oh, honey... Him: Oh, baby...}"(Fcjuavki.msg) Despite their religious practices, they're easily offended by anyone doubting the veracity of their teachings.The Chosen One: "{145}{}{What, because some crackpot wrote something down you feel the need to publish EVERYTHING?}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{156}{}{Her: You dare call the Hub (praise his vision) a crackpot? Here? In a stronghold devoted to his study? Him: Get out of here. If you talk to anyone on the way out, you will be attacked. Infidel. Both: Good riddance.}"(Fcjuavki.msg)
Her attractiveness has caused Dave Handy to become quite infatuated with her. Vikki remarks that he is a "cutie," but otherwise can't do anything while Juan is present.The Chosen One: "{138}{}{Hey, Vikki, Dave H. is in love with you.}"Juan Cruz and Vikki Goldman: "{184}{}{Her: Dave? The computer guy? Him: Ha ha! What a loser! Vikki is mine, all mine - no way he'll... excuse me, this is negative energy I'm channeling. I must have fouled my neurodynes. Her: [whispers to you] I think Dave's a cutie, but nothing can happen while Juan is around. Him: Whew. Neurodyne is all clear again.}"(Fcjuavki.msg)

==Behind the scenes==
Just like how Juan Cruz is a reference to Tom Cruise, Vikki's name is a reference to Nicole Kidman. They were a couple at the time of the game's release and were both outspoken about Scientology. The characters lampshade this in a tongue-in-cheek way in multiple lines. The movies Vikki mentions refer to Top Gun, Risky Business, and Days of Thunder, correspondingly, in which Tom Cruise starred.
