Proposed companion: Space Monkey Major Tom
"If I'm read'n this pimp boy right, in Monkey speak that means " I'm a lover not a fighter.""

- SaintPain

Major Tom is a trained space monkey and possible "Fallout Next Generation" companion living at the Enclave Aerospace Institute "sometime after the year 2281".

While trained as a Astro Simian, space monkey pilot, Major Tom really specializes in stealth & distraction.

Background
Born 2268, Major Tom is the Enclave's Top Gun Space Monkey Pilot. A ranking officaly noted due to his unusually high test evaluations administered by Comonweath researchers specialy assigned to his training. While some competing research teams recognised Major Tom's unusualy high agility, many were known to quietly grumble that much could be dismissed as luck or bias on the part of Major Tom's resarch cell of technicians. Such rumors were actually even more quickly put off as team rivalries.

Major Tom found he liked his fellow "Monkey Folk" almost as much as he enjoyed messing with the ,"Human Folk". Major Tom learned to find to ways get attention or most any thing else his monkey heart desired, if not by charm, then by distraction and a quick, stealthy, monkey paw.

Note: All Enclave archived video data relating to the Space Monkey designated "Major Tom" confirms a high level of interactions with all Enclave handlers. As well as subject animals corresponding with the Space Monkey program. All findings listed as favorable. Case # 1986 : Proposed investigation of the subject, Space monkey Major Tom, as relavent to missing Enclave stocks of fresh vegitables, alcohol and meds are to be considered closed, pending evidence beyond suspicion. PER order of Professor Robert Bowie, Enclave Astro Simian project Commander and Chief.

The Enclave never seemed abussive to Major Tom, The "Human Folk" honestly seemed to care for his well being, even when they used the " Sharp, pointy " to draw his blood for testing. Only the Proffesor, Dr. Bowie ever seemed cold or unfeeling in Major Tom's presence, even when they played the " Flying game" togeather.

Time and again Enclave daily research reports relating to Major Tom's performance would be filed as :insubmissable to Enclave canon. These reports would be reviewed, notarized by numbered copies, printed to hard copy, marked, reviewed, signed again, uploaded for final spell check and command authorization before being returned to sender with bold red ink instructing the researchers.

"Don't report space monkey's status as "Charming" → Project Lead"

"Be professional in these reports people → Project Admin."

"Do NOT report "It was just soo cute!" → Union Rep"

"We are Enclave Dagnabbit! → Project Union Admin"

'''"We all know Major Tom's a MONKEY? →Proffesor Robert Bowie" '''

Major Tom liked the "Flying games" that the "Human Folk" let him play on the "Shiny screen" and later in the "Glowing chair". Major Tom was good at games, even better than his father, and Lieutenant Albert was the first "Monkey, Flying Folk" to ever play the "Flying games". This made Major Tom happy.Yet still, Major Tom was easily bored and dreamed of adventure beyond the Enclave.


 * Major Tom felt the call of the wild.

Quests
Still a work in progress, Bear with me I must sleep some time.

Endings
*Ending 1.If the player destroys the Aerospace Institute without recruiting Major Tom, Major Tom dies a fiery death without ever tasting freedom.

*Ending 2.If the player decided to aid the Enclave or just allow the launch for any reason, Major Tom would discover too late that his rocket ride was no "Flying Game", but rather than crash into the Enclaves choosen target, Major Tom would pull up hard on the controls to the best of his monkey might. His rocket would shake, rattel and roll as it defied Earth's bonds of gravity and atmospheric friction to be blasted free into depths the of unknown space and an ever more uncertain fate among the stars. *Ending 3.(I'm stummped.. Happy endings are hard. Any ideas ? Please hit my talk page.)

Inventory

 * Major Tom's only armor is his default Space monkey suit and it can only be taken from his dead body.


 * Note: If addicted Major Tom will regularly steal from the player to feed his addiction until he is cured.


 * If addicted to chems, Major Tom may carry random chems.


 * If addicted to alcohol, Major Tom may carry random alcohol.

Appearances

 * Major Tom appears in Saint Pain's imagination.


 * Not married to the Enclave, Major Tom's story could work with any technologically capable humanoid faction.


 * Major Tom could appear in any Fallout next generation game or DLC.

Bugs

 * Major Tom dose not like bugs ;)~

Stock information yet to be put in a professional format
"Blast Off Armageddon" is a quest that is started when the player applies for a job as a research assistant at the Enclave Aerospace Institute by either haveing at least a " Liked " reputation with the Enclave or passing a science challenge of 50. The player is then introduced to Major Tom. Major Tom is an Astro Simian, proposed by the Enclave to be a valued asset in their peaceful space research prepairing to mine rare menerals from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. When the player learns the Enclaves space project is actually a plot to use monkies as suicide pilots guiding Intercontinental Single-Stage Sub-Orbital nuclear rockets against targets any where in the world. The player then has the choice to aid the Enclave to send Major Tom to his doom in exchange for possitive Enclave reputation or he can link his Pip boy with Major Tom's, thus allowing a basic communication and begining the quest " Can ya hear me Major Tom " If player chooses to show Major Tom the danger he is in Major Tom can then be recruted with an intelligence check of 6 or a Charisma check of 6 or If the player already has the Animal Friendship perk. Togeather the player and Major Tom must then navigate the heavily guarded Enclave Aerospace Institute. Note: Major Tom will not engage in any combat nore will he carry any weapons or armor other than his monkey space suit. However with Major Tom as a compainion the player gains "Monkey Mojo" + 25 to sneak and if Major Tom uses his "Monkey Dance Distraction" The player gains an addional sneak bonus for a total of + 50 while Pick pockets gains + 20, Lock pick gains + 10 and science for hacking terminal gains a +5 for up to 5 minutes as Major Tom dances or untill the player moves to far out of that area or though a door into another zone. Since Major Tom also confers his Animal Freindship perk to the player,the many resurch animals and enclave guard dogs will remain calm and not raise any alarm to the players presence. Through out the Aerospace Institute many computers will need to be hacked some set up a chain reaction to trigger an unstopable self distruct sequence, other terminals relay information about the Enclave rockets and research that is being done on the test animals and space monkey pilots. Once enough information has been gathered, Major Tom will use his monkey pipboy to relate the idea that he would like to rescue his father ( Space Monkey Pilot, Lieutenant Albert ) and the other research monkies that would be killed when the Institues rockets are set to explode. If the player agrees this will start the quest " Monkey Messiah " Note, this can only be accomplished if done before the final terminal is set to trigger the self distruct or the player would surely be caught in the distruction. This quest requires the Player and Major Tom to make their way down 8 more levels Disarming alarms and unlocking exit doors as they head to the animal holding pins to release the 12 research monkeys from each of the 55 main holding areas befor making a final assault on the Space Monkey Pilots dorm where 6 more monkeys including Major Tom's father are being held by the Institutes chief administator, The professor, Dr. Robert Bowie and his primary resarch staff who will of course by now be most hostile to the player. Once all 666 monkeys have been released the player and Major Tom must now make their way back through the chaos to find the final self distruct terminal and then escape the Institute. This ends booth the Fires from the mountain quest and the Monkey Messiah quest, rewarding the player with experience points, good Karma and some negative reputation with the Enclave. Major Tom being over enthused by the Monkey liberation, lusts to see more of this brave new world. This triggers the compainon quest "Wild thing" Yet again Major Tom taps out the signed keys on his monkey pip boy translate the idea that he wants the player to show him more of the world. Note: if the player refuses or terminates Major Tom's companion status befor interacting with "Human Folks" from at least 2 minor settlements and one large, relatively friendly town or citys with in 3 days, Major Tom will grow bored and leave the player, never again to be recruited by the player. But if the player is active and shows Major Tom wild wonders of the waists,The quest "Wild Thing" will begin, Major Tom will insist that he be allowed to explore a bit on his own. If the player accepts Major Tom will head off on his own to make himself at home amoung the "Nice, Human Folk" in the largest friendy town or city the player had visited with Major Tom. If the player remains faithful and dose not take another compainion for 3 more game days, Major Tom will call out on his monkey pip boy to the players pimp boy inviting the payer to rejoin him, if the player finds Major with in yet another 3 game days and again recruits Major Tom, they will be joyfully reunited, ending the quest "Wild Thing" *No reward for the player but Major Tom will gain +50 points of health and his damage threshold will boost to 25.


 * Soon to come Quests : "Drunken Monkey Blues" and "Major Tom's a junkie"
