Spoilarz for Fallout 3 main quest.



So this is Gabrielle (James, while a great scientist, wasn't that good at following normal naming conventions. What more can you expect from a guy who's got his head in the clouds all the time...), Gaby to his friends, and also known as the kid from Vault 101. And Evil Incarnate. And countless other not-very-flattering names that Three Dog of GNR has come up with. He's lounging in Tenpenny Tower, which he reluctantly calls a home. It's better than the Vault anyhow.


And this is why he lives in Tenpenny Tower, and this is what got it all started. Being Evil Incarnate, I mean. Why blow up Megaton? Gaby doesn't really know. He was devastated to learn that he had spent his entire youth living in a lie, so maybe it was the will to get some sort of revenge on his father and not knowing how to do it. This was naturally a choice he later on came to regret.


Well, um, let's just say that Gaby's a bit of a Mister Burke fanboy.


And he was eventually crushed by the wily of ways of Mister Burke, who apparently stopped at nothing for an opportunity to live large. Or maybe he saw the man underneath all the wrinkles and the atrocious accent, who knows. Gaby doesn't want to think.
Later on he let Roy Phillips and his fellow Ghouls inside Tenpenny Tower because he sympathised with them and absolutely detested every bigoted and elitist Tenpenny resident. In the exception of Herbert "Daring" Dashwood and the one guy who seemed a bit daft and usually hung out in the bar. They were alright. And Gaby felt even a bit bad when he found Daring's body and looted it, and to this day he flinches whenever GNR plays the radio dramas based on Daring's adventures.
And of course Burke survived even the Ghoul raid. What, did he sleep with Roy Phillips too?

(In truth Burke appearing in Tenpenny Tower after Ghouls are let in is only a bug. A hilarious one, though.)


But yeah, Tenpenny Tower is alright, and its current residents are pretty alright as well.


For some reason, whenever Gaby kills a woman, he can still only loot men's clothing off their bodies. With a name like Gabrielle you're only a step away from crossdressing, you know. Gaby would give anything for a pretty light green spring dress, but instead he has to settle with dress shirts, straight pants and ugly vests. Ew man clothes.
But Rolling Pin is the most awesome and badass melee weapon there is. Imagine thwacking a Deathclaw or a Super Mutant to a gruesome death with a Rolling Pin.

(Someone needs to make a mod which makes it possible for male characters to wear women's clothing and vice versa. USE YOUR G.E.C.K. FOR SOME GOOD.)


And then Gaby went to the Underworld and found himself a companion, a brainwashed slave Ghoul by the name of Charon (pronounced "Zharon" because Bethesda are dunces who don't know their Greek, but which makes screaming "CHAROOOOON" immediately hilarious and pretty lame). And immediately (after retrieving it from the basement of Museum of History, of course) he put Lincoln's top hat on him. Because Gaby wouldn't stand a Ghoul with no fashion sense.
Truth to be told, Gaby wouldn't survive long without Charon, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. He doesn't even know how he made it before Charon.
And having witnessed Charon blowing his former owner's brains out with his miraculous sniper shotgun right after finding out that Gaby was now holding his contract, Gaby will surely think twice about giving up the contract. He prefers his brains inside his head, although they would definitely brighten up any given room with their gooey fabulousness. No no, I jest, Gaby <3 Charon, he would never give up his contract, and since he's being a good master unlike that slimy scheming Azhrukhal, Charon probably has no reason to point his shotgun at Gaby. Thus his brain is safe.


Gaby isn't always very photogenic, no matter how handsome he might be. "NO NO TAKE ANOTHER MY EYES WERE CLOSED." Oh, Gaby. Charon's always photogenic. For a Ghoul. Although he has trouble looking at the camera. Instead he stares at Gaby. That's what he always does.


Gaby's Heavy Weapons Guy, although not fat and not Russian. Then again who knows about his heritage, maybe James or Catherine were Russian?
Yes, Minigun is Gaby's weapon of choice (excluding melee weapons) if Rocket Launcher or Fat Man don't count, and they don't. Because I say so. He'd love Gatling Laser more if repairing it didn't cost an arm and a leg (Gaby's a master repairer and would gladly do it himself, but you try finding a Gatling Laser from the Wasteland without going to Raven Rock and even there it's a pain in the freaking ass because hello, Enclave and their fancy-schmancy Tesla armours and energy weapons).


Sightseeing in downtown D.C. and taking a breather from slaughtering Super Mutants and looting Brotherhood of Steel corpses. (The thing is to watch from the sidelines while they fight each other, and then kill the surviving side, ie. the Mutants, and then take all their stuff.)


Sightseeing in the Museum of Technology.


It's a pity they don't serve anymore. But their sign kicks ass, almost as much as Gaby does.


Looting around in D.C. looking for Reilly's Rangers compound (Gaby was supposed to be saving them on some roof, but since Reilly gave him permission to take supplies from their HQ, Gaby couldn't resist an opportunity to loot. It's not very often you can just clean a place from all ammo and food and drugs and scrap metal and teddy bears with a permission. Not that Gaby ever cares about getting a permission, he takes what he wants as soon as you turn your back. Even if you're a good guy. Hey what can I say, Gaby's an opportunistic materialist!)


Charon cannot jump. He's completely unable to jump, so if Gaby drops down from somewhere or, god forbid, jumps on a rock or something, Charon goes bonkers while trying to find a way to him which does not include any kind of jumping. I dunno, maybe it's a Ghoul thing.


Gaby hanging out at Rivet City's Muddy Rudder. Ftr, a girl whose name escapes me was sitting right next to him. And five minutes later Gaby was attempting to pickpocket the girl while she was sleeping. He got caught and Charon blew the poor girl's brains out before she even had the chance to draw her weapon and give Gaby a highly lethal dose of lead for being a stealing prick. That was the kind of adventure Gaby tried to avoid from there on out, realising that his sneaking skill wasn't good enough for pickpocketing. Needless to say, Gaby's been kind of avoiding Rivet City since then. Especially since he also kinda caused a local junkie to OD on Psycho. But that wasn't exactly Gaby's fault, some guys just don't know how to do drugs (says the guy who's this far been addicted to Mentats - twice).


Gaby hates travelling at night, but for some reason always ends up doing it. I don't know why, he's maybe too impatient to actually wait it out. Or, god forbid, sleep. But sunrises are the finest moments on the Capital Wasteland, so it kinda pays off.


Gaby likes the Flamer too. Makes him feel hot. Maybe too literally, though.


On their adventures Gaby ran into a dead Glowing One named Stefan. Well that's a mystery he will probably never crack since Stefan is dead, and so is the mad scientist who was keeping him behind locks and had apparently given him the name. Or maybe Stefan possessed some modicum of sense, despite being a Feral Ghoul and all (I mean, there's Fawkes...), and named himself. Who knows. It's a mystery.


Yeah sneaking around like always.


"Alright, gentlemen. How do we kill Superman?" Our dynamic duo is clearly plotting something on the Scrapyard, just before sunrise and running into Dogmeat.


With Dogmeat. It's a big happy family, Gaby's the mom, Charon's the dad, and Dogmeat's the slightly retarded child. Not my fault that he's one silly looking puppy.


Another one with Dogmeat. And after that Gaby sent him to wait near Vault 101, because Charon was clearly getting jealous and pulling off strange stuff like disappearing suddenly and dying a few minutes after that. And sorry, Dogmeat, but Gaby keeps favourites.


"STOP SHOOTING WHILE I'M TAKING A DUMP GEEZ." Gaby, hon, not my fault that some Raider outhouse doesn't have a door. They probably like watching each other while they poop. Raiders are sick fucks, it's not like they don't do worse stuff.


Once again with the sunrises and Mister Burke look.


Deathclaws are scary motherfuckers when you set them on fire.


Again with the travelling while it's dark. It's no wonder Gaby has the Night Person perk (and after that he started waiting it out whenever it was daytime because +2 INT/PER bonus usually meant that he didn't have to take Mentats).


WHICH HE STILL DOES, EL OH EL. This was the worst time of Gaby's life (well, before his dad died and he became an alcoholic for the second time), being on drugs and drinking just to get by.
Okay, it was "get by" as in "get by some stupid Talon Company mercs who were standing between Gaby and LOOTING THEIR ENTIRE BASE MWAHAHA", but anyway.


SO ROMANTIC.


Okay not really.


And then Gaby ran into the second Super Mutant Behemoth he had ever seen. And it was horrible. Also take a wild guess did that Mini Nuke even hit the monster? Yeah, not even by a long shot. It would be cool if you didn't have to let the enemy come near, since, you know, it's a mini nuke and comes with all the features of nukes of the regular kind, including a fucking gigantic splash damage and a nice little fallout. It's hilarious having to wait until the Behemoth is near enough to be able to hit it in V.A.T.S. and by then it's probably also near enough so that you get some nice rads and damage when it hits. Because if you fire when it's not close enough, this picture is what happens and you just see the Behemoth charge through the miniature mushroom cloud without a scratch. Fuck yeah. And when I say "hilarious" I kinda mean the exact opposite.


But eventually our dynamic duo triumphed over the Behemoth. Fat Man was enormously helpful, as was the Rocket Launcher. Charon wasn't helpful at all because he kept getting killed and running at the Behemoth just as Gaby fired the Fat Man. WAY TO GO CHARON YOU BLOCKHEAD.


Yeah, at Tenpenny Tower again. Damn Charon's pretty stalker-y.


Conversing with some nice Ghouls at Tenpenny Tower terrace.


Look, Charon's not looking at Gaby! Where IS he looking? Well, checking out the hot Ghoul lady who was sitting in the next table, of course! She probably was the wife of the guy Gaby was sitting wih, so it might be the jealousy thing again. Dammit, Charon.


Well, aww, Charon's just somehow so damn cute when he's hurt. :3


Charon, I'm standing right next to you. Charon? Charon! CHAROOOON! Oh for crying out loud it's just the Stealth Boy, I'm perfectly visible. The Brotherhood Outcasts saw me, why don't you.
Okay forget it let's go. LET'S GO CHARON. Argh!


Well, Gaby finally found daddy. And like always, daddy's miles away and running even further whenever Gaby tries to come closer.
Dammit, dad. ;_;


Gaby's doing ballet.


Once more for good measure.


And then he took the initiative and wasn't standing in the middle of the huge explosion. In fact he set it off himself for maximum profit.
Daddy's watching things go kaboom.


LOOK DADDY LOOK I'M WEARING A LAB COAT JUST LIKE YOU. DADDY?


...DADDY? ;____;
(Incidentally after this Gaby acted like a total asshole towards anyone he talked to, and became an alcoholic. For the second time during few weeks. Good going, Gaby!)


Lamplight was kinda awesome for an underground town full of little kids. The twins (Knick Knack and Knock Knock) are cool and mayor MacCready has more balls than all of Brotherhood of Steel combined. Besides, the Wazer Wifle he got from one of the brats is the coolest damn weapon in the entire game. Too bad Gaby can't use it because energy weapons are not his forté. But it's still the coolest. Because it's the Wazer Wifle.
Gaby also got the sweetest hat from one of the kids. Except oh yeah, it was the only adult around who gave it to him, right.


More of Lamplight.


PARTY TIME DA ZE.


PARTY IN VAULT 87 EVERYONE'S INVITED! BRING YOUR OWN BOOZE, DRUGS AND GUNS.


Gaby's brief acquaintance Fawkes. She's a real classy lady for a Super Mutant who speaks in capslock and named herself after Guy Fawkes. (Also guess who's been hacking some computer terminals. Not Gaby for sure. Fuck yeah +10 Science lab coat. He's probably on Mentats as well. Probably addicted to them too. Again.)


IDK my BFF President Eden? (Gaby tried to put on his party hat for the occasion but it was unfortunately broken. Woe.)


After getting away from Enclave's clutches and being BFF with Eden, Gaby returned to Underworld to seek Charon. And it's the first time he's seen him sitting down. Maybe his legs finally fell asleep from all the standing around.


Our dynamic duo had to return to Raven Rock to retrieve a kickass Tesla armour for Charon. It's pretty sweet.


IT'S THE MOTHERFUCKING LIBERTY PRIME, IF YOU'RE A COMMUNIST, RUN.


Liberty Prime's showing those Enclave communists who's the coolest hunk of junk in the D.C. Sorry Eden, you're just a pathetic giant block of circuits and stuff, you can't even shoot LASER BEAMS from your EYES. Because YOU DON'T HAVE EYES HAHAHA.


Gaby finally learned to use those damn fancy armours and Tesla armour is pretty damn sweet. Either way Enclave armours are so much sweeter than Brotherhood armours. Even Brotherhood Outcasts have neater armour (it's red and black and goth all over! But Outcasts are emo kids anyhow, so it fits them).


Best part about Evergreen Mills is just watching everyone get killed by their own Super Mutant Behemoth and then looting (and eating) their corpses and leaving the slaves rot in their pens ha ha ha.


There was a dirty little whorehouse in Raider bazaar underneath Evergreen Mills. Too bad that Charon killed all the whores. There was even a manwhore. Charon should probably go see a professional about his jealousy issues.


Yeah, Gaby's a cannibal too. But it's easy, fast and rad-free way to get some HP around these parts of the Wasteland. And it's completely free, only costs a bit of your soul each time you do it! And there's something extremely satisfying about eating a Raider.
There was also the most amoral Scavenger merchant in the Raider bazaar. Gaby didn't even notice him standing there when he dined on a Raider right before his eyes, and after that the Scav was all like whatever, all I care about are caps, so are you gonna buy something or sit there munching the human flesh all day long. Cannibalism was supposed to upset anyone who saw Gaby do it and be a SERIOUS FELONY AGAINST HUMANITY! False advertising! Then again the Scavenger didn't bat an eyelash when Gaby murdered every Raider in the Bazaar, so he's definitely Gaby's type of man (...I typed "Gaby's type of gay" first, what, yes, my mind totally went there).


OKAY HE LIKES TEDDY BEARS IS THAT SUCH A CRIME GEEZ. Best part is that he makes Charon carry them for him. (Second best part is that yeah that's totally a stolen teddy bear right there. Probably stolen from a LITTLE KID. From LAMPLIGHT. Gaby's Very Evil karma status isn't just a fancy title you know.)
