Squirrel is 13 and has a knack with computers and electronics. As such, he is an important member of the scavenging team, because he’s the only person who can tell how valuable a piece of scientific hardware is. He’s been caught recently, but he’s working on an escape plan. He’s also sickly, often visiting Lucy for some sort of medication. Inside Lamplight, he spends a lot of his time reading, playing with electronics, and trying not to do anything too stressful.[1]
He and some other members of the scav team were scavenging supplies but were caught by Rip Smithy and sold to the Paradise Falls slavers.[2] He says his nickname came from intuitive nature, but other Lamplighters say it's because he's "nuts".
Interactions with the player character[]
Interactions overview[]
This character is essential. Essential characters cannot be killed.
Rescue from Paradise: Squirrel is the brains behind the escape from Paradise Falls. He will task the Lone Wanderer with everything they need to do to get them out.
Both he and Sammy refer to the Lone Wanderer as a "mungo", similar to other Lamplight residents.
Squirrel seems to be very well educated. Eulogy Jones seems to be aware of this and charges 500 more caps than he charges for Sammy and Penny for whopping 2,000 caps total for all 3.
