Richards (Vault 101)

Officer Richards is a member of Vault 101 security in Fallout 3.

Background
Officer Richards guards the locked atrium door to the Vault 101 entrance together with Officer O'Brian. He is a little less relentless than Officer O’Brian in his beating of those milling about Vault 101 during the escape of the Lone Wanderer, but remains under orders to stop those from breaching the Vault door.

Quests

 * Escape!: Officer Richards will attempt to neutralize the Lone Wanderer during their escape from Vault 101.
 * Trouble on the Homefront: If Richards isn't killed during Escape!, he will appear when the Lone Wanderer returns to Vault 101.

Effects of player actions

 * O'Brian and Richards kill Tom and Mary Holden unless the Lone Wanderer is fast enough and attacks the officers before Tom Holden reaches them.

Appearances
Officer Richards appears only in Fallout 3.
