Everything is under control down here. If I need your assistance, I'll let you know.— Dr. Calis, from the correspondence with Captain Hamm

Doctor Calis was the chief scientist and director of the X-13 research facility under the command of Project Leads of Big MT.

Background[]

Dr. Calis was the chief scientist in charge of the X-13 research facility under the command of Doctor 0 in Big MT. Much to the annoyance of his subordinates, Calis had a tendency to become furious over even minor concerns and had a no-nonsense work ethic in the lab.[1]

He asked Captain Hamm, the facility's security chief, to provide a shipment of cattle prods in order to control the night stalkers, who were becoming increasingly aggressive.[2][3] Eventually, he evidently decided to face the night stalkers directly, an error in judgment that cost him his life.[4] His skeleton, still clad in a lab uniform, can be found sprawled on the ground outside the night stalkers' den. It is also possible that this event allowed the nightstalkers to escape into the wild, leading to the further death of most of the scientists in Big MT with the escape of cazadores.

Dr. Calis was survived by evidently no one and recalled with scorn by his colleagues, whose negative comments can be found on terminals scattered around the facility.

When asked why he created the night stalkers, Dr. Borous states that Calis dared him to splice together mountain lions, eagles and condors, which somehow lead to a combination of coyotes and rattlesnakes.

Notes[]

  • Calis' skeleton can be found outside of the entrance to the former night stalker's reserve.
  • His skull is actually an apparel item, so if one uses console commands to remove it, his face is actually a ghoul's face that is red and black with a green mouth.
  • Due to a requirement of the game engine, his limbs will still bleed like most normal corpses if severed by the player character. If the body is moved around and if one looks closely, they can see his head is not actually connected to his body (there is no spine), but it still acts as though it is connected.
  • Resurrecting and then talking to him will give the player character the generic NPC "hello and goodbye" dialogue choices and responses.

Appearances[]

Dr. Calis' skeleton appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
