Andy (Fallout 3)

“
Ah, but surgery was fun while it lasted...

”
**Andy** is a Mister Handy robot in Vault 101 in *Fallout 3*.

## Background

Andy works in Vault 101 under constant supervision from Stanley Armstrong. Due to a lack of specific motor parts, he is prone to articulated blade spasms: for example, at the Lone Wanderer's 10th birthday party, Andy disastrously attempts to cut the birthday cake. This leads to an apt tile: *Mister Liability*.

After James' escape from the vault, Andy is assigned to be the vault's new medic. In his one surgical operation, Andy decides to treat Beatrice's sprained big toe by amputating the whole leg. He amputates the wrong leg, and Beatrice dies as a result. Andy is reassigned as a cleaner, rather ironically the first job being cleaning up the mess he made from Beatrice.

## Interactions with the player character

### Other interactions

If the Vault Dweller sabotages Vault 101, Andy will stay there next to Beatrice's corpse in the Vault 101 medical center.

## Notable quotes

* "Ah, young /! How very good to see you again. I do suppose you’re looking for your father the doctor. Tsk tsk tsk. I’m afraid you’ve missed him. I believe he’s gone topside for a spot of fresh air! Should be back any moment, I’d imagine!"
* "Ah, another patient! What's it to be, eh? Appendectomy? Tonsillectomy? Hysterectomy?"
* "Ah, human problems for human hearts. I don't trouble myself with such petty affairs. My work is my life! And as you can see, I've been quite busy..." (When questioned about the state of affairs.)
* **Cut**: *If I may be so bold, the blue in the vault suit contrasts brilliantly with your eyes!* <mutters: *Stupid git*.>
