“

Aside from the jerks who keep harassing me, the problem is the air purifier in the mine. It’s busted, and we don’t have the protective gear to breathe the radon and we don’t have the parts to fix it. ...

”

Zaius is the foreman of the uranium mine in Broken Hills in Fallout 2.

Background

A tough old mutant with a pickaxe and miner’s helmet, Zaius is responsible for ensuring that the excavation of uranium from the mine goes smoothly. Problem is, the air purifier has recently been damaged and the mutants cannot enter the mine without the radon buildup hurting them. Without spare parts, fixing it is impossible as well.
