Linda Schuler

Senior Scribe Linda Schuler is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel (Mojave chapter) living in the Hidden Valley bunker in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Linda Schuler is the head physician of the Hidden Valley Bunker, capable of healing any medical problem that may arise in the course of a Brother's duties. Although that should be the theoretical extent of her duties, in practice, she is performing all of the duties normally in the domain of the Head Scribe, including research team supervision, report preparation, attending meetings, and so on, and so forth. Despite that, she is still formally below the actual Head Scribe, Lars Taggart, which annoys her to no end. She is particularly critical of his relationship with Melissa Watkins, an apprentice recently transferred under Taggart's oversight for specialist VR training. She repeatedly tried to remove Taggart from his position, but Elder McNamara always refused her, claiming that Taggart's work was crucial to the Brotherhood's cause.

Behind the scenes
"; This might not be necessary. I might be able to set VDialogueHiddenValley.SpyingForSchuler to 1"
 * Originally, the player was supposed to be able to spy on Taggart for Schuler and discover a PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) virtual simulation, according to the following script attached to VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic009 (I don't appreciate how much harder I have to work to cover for his tendency to focus on his personal projects. I try not to think too much about his personal proclivities.:
 * add a top level topic for telling her what you
 * found out and simply have it check to see if you
 * discovered the PTSD sim.
