You see this eye-piece right here? I had to re-solder it in place, and it don't look as pretty as it needs to for inspection, I guess.

Knight Kyle[1] is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel found at Lost Hills in Fallout.

Background[]

A colorful character notable for his casual attitude and liberal use of mild profanities, Kyle is responsible for general maintenance at Lost Hills, responsible for fixing everything, from regular maintenance checks to the Brotherhood's fleet of powered armor. [2] As a man focused on solving practical problems, he has very little patience for procedure and protocol, considering it needless bureaucracy. He has particular contempt for Michael, the quartermaster, as his insistence on proper procedures and specifications has led him to reject an otherwise perfectly functional suit of T-51 power armor due to a re-soldered eye-piece. It has led Kyle to conclude that Michael is a medical phenomenon, with forms in place of brains.[3]

With the systolic motivator removed, the suit he worked on is a pile of spare parts, but could be restored to full working condition within a couple of hours if the motivator was restored. The problem is that motivators are kept under lock and key in the store room, with some of the spares kept under Rhombus' watch (who, in Kyle's view, is unnaturally attached to them).[4]

He has respect for genuine achievement, however, and respects the Vault Dweller for braving the dangers of The Glow and returning with knowledge of what happened to the group of soldiers that rebelled against Roger Maxson's authority and split off during the Exodus.[5] He definitely appreciates the Vault Dweller for showing up the elders and their attempt to get rid of him.[6]

Quests[]

  • Fix the broken T-51b power armor: Kyle has a dilemma; he has two sets of nearly completed powered armor, but each are just missing one piece. He needs a systolic motivator to complete them, but due to the outdated model of the armors, he has been denied an issuance for a new one. The Vault Dweller may either go upstairs to the equipment issuance manager, Michael, and ask for the small piece of machinery or steal one from Rhombus's quarters. If it is acquired, Kyle will hand the player character an instruction manual, telling the Vault Dweller that it is up to them to complete the repairs.

Bugs[]

Kyle may refuse to speak to the player character again after asking them to find a systolic motivator, saying only "Get lost. I'm busy." It is currently unknown whether this is a bug or not. It may be a reaction to a negative reputation level. If this happens, it becomes impossible to repair the power armor.[verified]
