What should I do? He asked for water, and I thought I was helping him, not killing him!

Rosa Meitner[Non-game 1] is a wandering wastelander who is found in the vicinity of Megaton about two weeks after the activation of Project Purity in 2277/2278.

Background[]

Rosa is a kindhearted traveler headed for Megaton.[Non-game 1] While passing through Springvale, she was gifted "holy water," and a pamphlet by Brother Gerard, and accepted them gratefully.[1] When she arrived at Megaton, she approached Micky, the local water beggar, and offered him the holy water. However, unbeknownst to her, the water had been "blessed" by the Apostles of the Eternal Light with high levels of radiation, and the sickly beggar died after drinking it.[2]

Witnessing the event was the Lone Wanderer, who had arrived at Megaton around the same time as her. Confused and grief-stricken, she begs the Lone Wanderer for aid, giving them the pamphlet and informing them of her encounter at the Holy Light Monastery. Afterwards, she wanders away from Megaton, inconsolable.[1][3]
