Her opportunity would come sooner than she'd have liked. James and his child's escape of Vault 101 placed her on the supervisory track, a path to replacing her father as overseer. Īmata refused to leverage her father's position, leaving her with only her friend as a source of help and support. In fact, he was keeping close tabs on her troubles with the Tunnel Snakes, with their harassment of Amata a major factor in deciding whether to tolerate their continued existence or not. Her father was well aware of her situation. The worst were the Tunnel Snakes, a "gang" that formed with her father's tacit approval under Butch DeLoria, though they shifted from insulting her familial ties to mocking her body image issues (apparently Amata was overweight in puberty) and making lewd suggestions. Apart from independence and responsibility, the fact that most male teenagers in the shrinking population of Vault 101 were picking on Amata, rather than making serious advances. James, as the Vault's physician, considered it sad, as Amata was growing up to be a mature, responsible young woman, with minimal chances of contracting syphilis or becoming pregnant. A lack of trust was likely a factor: While he did not use his position to her advantage, he used it to keep close tabs on her, up to and including being present during Amata's routine medical examinations even in her teenage years. While she embraced the virtues he taught her (loyalty, honesty, commitment, hard work), growing into a fine young woman in Alphonse's eyes, she saw him less as a father figure, and more as the aloof, distant overseer. He was puzzled and frustrated by Amata pushing him away as she grew older. This independent streak was reinforced by Alphonse's controlling behavior. This included coming up with ways to manage Butch DeLoria, as she realized at a young age that relying on her father's position would only lead to ostracism and worse. Amata didn't actually mind it: Growing up as the omnipotent overseer's daughter led to a substantial amount of bullying, and she preferred to tackle challenges and resolve problems on her own. Another was that he simply didn't like the Lone Wanderer, in part due to their father's stubborn, insubordinate personality. Part of the reason was that the overseer didn't want to appear as compromising his position as overseer and play favorites by granting his daughter special privileges. Amata worked hard on the decorations on her own, with Alphonse providing only "appropriate parental support" and a permit for a short break in the usual daily work routine. Amata organized the Wanderer's 10th birthday party, when they became a full Vault 101 citizen and received the PIP-Boy 3000. The bond between Amata and the Lone Wanderer developed into a deep friendship over the years, with the two becoming inseparable, best friends. The burden of leading the Vault and enforcing his isolationist policy slowly drove Amata and Alphonse apart, despire her deep love for her father and an innate sense of loyalty. They bonded over many things, from Grognak the Barbarian to being raised by single fathers after their mothers passed away at a young age: Amata lost her mother at two, leaving her father, the overseer, to raise her on his own. The only daughter of the overseer, Amata is around the Lone Wanderer's age and the two grew up together ever since James arrived in the Vault with his child in tow. 2 Interactions with the player character.1.1 James and his child's escape of Vault 101.I decided to go against the traditional ghoul voice on this one, not just for the sake of Natalie’s throat but to better get the right accent and emotion. She’s voiced by Natalie Proudlock and named after a Hepburn, but in reality she’s more Katharine than Audrey. In any case, I’m burying the lede here, which is another new Fallout companion for the three-part Vault 101 questline. Above is the MH Cicero theme in theory…Īnd this is the result. Granted, it might’ve worked with some tweaking, but I couldn’t figure out how. Others just didn’t look anything like the advertised theme. Hopefully it won’t slow the site too much, it’s expensive enough as it is.ĭuring the hiatus I also tried a number of new themes, and while some of them were cool from a novelty standpoint, they didn’t function as well without the duel sidebars and widescreen post section. These measures include a malware scan, login tracking to ensure someone isn’t using my admin account, and a system to check that core files aren’t altered. Welcome back! I’m tentatively lifting the redirect after rebuilding the site from scratch, clicking on links for two days without trouble and installing some new security measures.
