Midea

Midea is the de-facto leader of the slaves in the Pitt in 2277.
==Background==
Midea was born in the Pitt shortly after the Scourge and has lived her entire life under the rule of Lord Ashur.The Lone Wanderer: "I want to talk about The Pitt."Midea: "I was born shortly after the Brotherhood Scourge. As bad as it is now, I can't imagine what it was like before Ashur. Some of the stories I heard when I was a little girl... about the Trogs and the Wildmen would scare the hell out of you. I don't care how tough you were. Honestly, I don't know how anything survived, let alone how Ashur managed to control any of those freaks. Sometimes... just sometimes, I think that maybe things are better with him here..."(Midea's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "I want to talk about you."Midea: "What about me? I was born here. I'll probably die here. I've lived my whole life under Ashur's boot heel. The only thing that keeps me alive is the thought that I might be able to turn the tables someday."(Midea's dialogue) Although she desires to free herself and her people from Ashur's rule by any means necessary, she has heard the frightening stories of what it was like in the city before he took over, and sometimes thinks that things are better with him in charge. She is tough enough to earn her freedom by fighting in the arena, but she has decided to stay with the slaves, as she ultimately wants to help them acquire their freedom and gain access to a cure for the illness that plagues those who live in the city.The Lone Wanderer: "Tell me about this cure."Midea: "The cure is the key to healing the sickness around here. Look at us. We've all got it. And the more they force us to work in this mess, the worse it gets. People are going Trog faster than ever before. The cure is the first thing in this place that hasn't been infected."(Midea's dialogue) 
She has cooperated with Wernher since the former Pitt raider was enslaved, with the two of them planning to kidnap Ashur's baby, who is revealed to be the potential cure for the illness. She is also helping to organize the slaves in preparation for the eventual uprising.The Lone Wanderer: "Is there anyone helping you free your people?"Wernher: "Midea. She's another slave, like me. She's helping to organize them. She'll know when it's time."(Wernher's dialogue)Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.85: "Midea:One of the oldest slaves in The Pitt, Midea is dedicated to helping the Pitt Slaves. Despite having the fierceness to probably earn her freedom in the Arena, she chooses to stay with the slaves and see that someone is watching out for them. She concocted the kidnapping plan with Wernher shortly after he was enslaved, and she sees the baby as little more than a tool to earn the freedom of her people." 
In order to have them secure a meeting with Ashur and steal the cure, Midea nominates the Lone Wanderer to both search the steelyard and fight in the Hole, viewing it as the only way that they will be able to get close to Ashur.The Lone Wanderer: "Arena? Before I go anywhere, you're going to explain this plan to me."Midea: "It's simple, really. From time to time, Ashur opens up the arena. Any slave who wants to can fight against the gladiators. If you win, you get your freedom. More importantly: you get an audience with Ashur. It's the only way a slave will ever get to talk to him directly. You fight. You win. And when you talk to Ashur, you take the cure."(Midea's dialogue)
