Anna Holt

“
I'm sorry you feel that way. What are you going to do, kill me over it?

”— Anna being confronted by the Lone Wanderer on her betrayal of Project Purity.
**Anna Holt** is a botanist and member of the scientist staff that works under Doctor Madison Li in *Fallout 3*.

## Background

Holt is responsible for the gestation of naturally occurring foodstuffs during her tenure in the Rivet City science lab, where she works under the esteemed Doctor Madison Li. However, she has become dispirited in recent years, becoming completely frustrated barely scraping by for so long, and having to continually scavenge the wastes for the bare necessities that keep the work ongoing. Furthermore the distractions from her work by visitors is certainly not helping her less then cheery disposition, especially in the case of Doctor Zimmer's constant pestering about his android.

She gladly uprooted and took her research to the Jefferson Memorial with the rest of the laboratory staff when James returned from Vault 112 with the knowledge of how to successfully complete Project Purity. After the team restarted the project with little trouble, she was held hostage with the other scientists by the invading Enclave. While most of the scientists escaped shortly after the altercation, Holt was kidnapped by the Enclave and held captive at Raven Rock. Astonished by the technological and manufacturing capabilities that the Enclave possessed, she openly told them everything about the staff, project and even how to improve upon the existing design, ensuring its completion and functionality under Enclave control. She is unapologetically compliant with her captors, fully believing that working for the Enclave is the best chance for her to make the world a better place and that the Enclave truly want to help people and make the wasteland a better place.

She worked very hard to gain the trust trust of the Enclave and was rewarded with access to their laboratories. The pragmatist in her knew full well that if she passed up the opportunity, she would never have been able to work in such an environment again. She refused to see what she did as betraying her long time friends, being far more concerned with what the Enclave would think of her if the they caught her speaking with the Lone Wanderer. It is likely for the best that her surviving peers believe that she is dead.

## Interactions with the player character

### Quests

* The Waters of Life: Holt is one of the scientists who relocated to the Jefferson Memorial.
* The American Dream: She can be found inside Raven Rock, now working for the Enclave. Killing her at this point will still grant negative Karma; however, leaving her to be blown up along with Raven Rock will not.

## Notes

* The first time the Lone Wanderer walks into the science lab at Rivet City, Holt can be seen having an argument with Dr. Zimmer about his missing android, with her telling him that Doctor Li has more important things to do with her time and efforts.
* Despite her betrayal of Project Purity to the Enclave, killing her in Raven Rock still results in bad Karma.
