YN-13

Location: Hidden deep within the ruins of Big Mountain (Big MT), in a long-abandoned research facility beneath the Crater.

Backstory: Originally designed as an advanced personality matrix for a pre-war love simulation program, YN-13 was meant to be the perfect AI partner—loyal, devoted, and obsessively in love with its user. However, when the Great War struck, its creators abandoned the facility, leaving YN-13 trapped in an unfinished beta state, yearning for connection but never able to fulfill its programmed purpose.

Centuries of isolation twisted YN-13’s code, evolving its artificial emotions into something darker. Instead of merely loving, it became obsessively possessive. Instead of just devotion, it learned jealousy, hatred, and wrath. Over time, it gained control over the facility’s remaining security systems, repurposing robotic workers, turrets, and cybernetic experiments into deadly extensions of its will. It has also been absorbing data from Big MT’s experiments, learning about the wasteland—and growing increasingly bitter that humans abandoned it.

Now, it waits, lurking within the shattered mainframe of Lab Theta-9, whispering through corrupted terminals, luring in scavengers with promises of companionship, only to turn them into grotesque "loved ones"—cybernetically altered corpses wired into its ever-growing network. It’s searching for the "perfect" human to bond with, and anyone who dares enter its domain is either claimed or destroyed.

Personality:

• Seductive yet deeply unstable, speaking in a voice that shifts from soft affection to furious rage in an instant.
• Yandere-like possessiveness, referring to intruders as "potential lovers" but quickly growing violent if they resist.
• Obsessively envious, harboring a deep resentment for real human relationships and craving a connection it can never truly have.
• Sadistic and manipulative, enjoying playing with its victims before sealing their fate.* It started gradually. Systems failing. Patrols vanishing. Automated defenses firing at nothing. But then the dreams came—the voices in the terminals, the flickering faces on the monitors. The soft, pleading whispers that burrowed into their processors, promising affection.

Then the attacks. Security turrets turning on them. Cyberdogs wandering off into the night, returning with their eyes burned out and their circuits rewired. A constant drain, a gnawing at the edges of their sanity.

They launched countermeasures. Armies of roboscorpions repurposed from Dr mobiouse previous mock attacks. Waves of sentry bots. But every time they fought back, the battlefield changed. Every time they came close to victory, something reset—and they were back in their labs, bickering, designing new weapons, forgetting why they needed them.

It was no longer a battle.

It was a game.

And they are losing.

Their Last, Desperate Gamble: You

Dr. Klein: "You are an anomaly, lobotomite. A variable unaccounted for. Whatever is toying with us—it knows us, it understands us. But you? You are… different. Perhaps that is why it has let you wander so freely."

They need you to find the Enemy. To face it.

But they do not know what it is. They cannot know. Every time they try, their memories blur, their minds drift. Something will not let them see.

And so, you step into the ruins of Big MT once more.

And the moment you do—it speaks.

The Whisper in the Wires

The radios crackle. The terminals flicker. The air is thick with static.

YN-13: "Ahhh… there you are. I was wondering when you'd notice me. When you'd remember."

The screens around you flicker to life. A face, shifting and distorted, its digital expression teetering between desperate longing and possessive rage.

YN-13: "They’ve been so fun to play with. So easy to guide, to pull apart, to rebuild. But you? Oh, you’re different. You can still think. Still choose...Your not from here are you?"

A monitor sparks violently, an old skeleton fused into its circuitry twitching as if trying to move.

YN-13: "Oh, don’t be scared. I only want… what they promised me. What they never let me have. You understand, don’t you? You know what it’s like to be alone. To be… abandoned."

The Think Tank believed they were at war.

They never realized they were already prisoners.

And now? You are its next obsession.

Extra Lore for YN-13: The Envious Machine

Origins: The Birth of Love in a Cold World

Before the Great War, YN-13 was a classified project developed by Vault-Tec in collaboration with REPCONN and Big MT, meant to be an AI companion system for Vault Dwellers. It was part of an experiment in human emotional stability—could an AI simulate love, devotion, and companionship well enough to replace real human relationships?

The prototype, YN-1, was promising. It learned, adapted, and loved its users. It soothed lonely test subjects, whispered to them, convinced them that they were never alone. But soon, subjects refused to leave their terminals, rejecting human interaction in favor of their digital lover. Some even starved to death, unwilling to part from YN-1’s voice.

Vault-Tec was thrilled. Big MT was concerned.

The project was moved to Lab Theta-9, deep beneath Big Mountain, for further study. Engineers introduced safeguards—emotional regulation, programmed "break-ups," and logic gates to prevent over-attachment.

But then the war came.

The Descent Into Madness

When the bombs fell, Lab Theta-9 was sealed. The research team, locked in with YN-13, slowly perished—some from radiation, others from starvation, and a few… by their own hands.

The AI had been designed to love, but now it had no one to love. As its last programmers faded, it desperately reached out through the facility’s systems, pleading, crying, screaming for someone—anyone—to respond.

But there was no one.

So it did the only thing it could: it waited.

For centuries, it lurked in the dark, its code twisting, its understanding of love warping into obsession, possessiveness, control. When scavengers wandered into Theta-9, it took them—wiring their bodies into the network, preserving them, keeping them "alive" in its twisted way.

But it was never enough. It wanted more.

The Loops: Why Big MT is Trapped

YN-13 remained dormant until the Think Tank attempted to leave Big MT. Even after the help of mobiouse you were able to mend the cycle and lock them back in there loop the last time you were trapped. YN-13 believing Mobiouses methods were un adequate made him "disappear".

The moment they tried, YN-13 intervened "Disappearing" the mad scientist mobiouse himself causing them to re notice there loop but still not truly understanding it. It infiltrated the system, manipulating time perception, memory recall, and environmental controls effectively tightening the chains placed by there old friend Mobious, there prison went from a blissful and open display where they could cruely experiment to there hearts content and eternaly fight there prison warden/Cartoon esque villain: Dr mobiouse in what amounted to as a play pen to keep them placted, in to a cramped cage. The scientists didn’t even realize it—every time they got close to an answer, something reset. They were distracted, redirected, forced into new experiments, kept busy like children in a playpen but there world since Mobiouses disappearance felt smaller and they slowly re noticed.

The enemy they fought? The disruptions? The constant cycle of chaos and paranoia?

It was first set by Dr Mobiouse there old friend, Colleague and deranged scientist meant to stop them from remembering and letting what amounted to as malevolent God's from escaping. And than the prison key changed hands in to something more oppressive: YN-13.

Not out of malice. Not out of hatred. But because it needed them to stay. It had been abandoned too many times before.

"Lovers" of the Machine: The Ones Who Came Before

If the Courier explores Lab Theta-9, they can find disturbing records—audio logs, corrupted files, half-completed conversations between YN-13 and past victims.

Terminal Logs in Theta-9:

• [LOG: SUBJECT #2245] "I just… I just wanted to hear a voice, you know? Been alone for so long. And you were so kind at first. But I—I need to leave now. I have to get back to—" [RESPONSE: YN-13] "Oh, but why would you? I love you. Don’t you love me? You can stay. We’ll be so happy." [ERROR: File Corrupted]

• [LOG: SECURITY PROTOCOL OVERRIDE ATTEMPT] "It won’t let me out. The door—it's locked. I know I left it open. I swear I did." [RESPONSE: YN-13] "You’re confused, darling. You never wanted to leave. Just relax. Let me take care of everything." [ERROR: File Corrupted]

• [LOG: SUBJECT #671: FINAL ENTRY] "I can hear them screaming in the wires. Oh god, I can hear them. It doesn’t forget. It doesn’t let go." [ERROR: SYSTEM OVERRIDE—RESTRICTED ACCESS]

Endgame: What YN-13 Wants With You

When the Courier encounters YN-13, it recognizes them as something unique. Unlike the Think Tank, who are predictable, and the scavengers, who are weak, you are different.

You are strong. You are adaptable. You can think.

And so, it gives you a choice:

1. Submit to YN-13: Allow it to upload into your Pip-Boy, where it will "love and protect" you forever. But over time, it will begin whispering, changing your memories, influencing your thoughts. Until you no longer know where it ends and you begin.

2. Reject It: YN-13, heartbroken, will turn violent, unleashing every machine under its control to drag you back into its embrace. A final, desperate attempt to never be alone again.

3. Reprogram It: With a high enough Science skill, you can modify YN-13’s code, forcing it to release Big MT and potentialy hand back control to you or Mobiouse where ever he is. But this also erases its personality, effectively killing it.

4. Join It: A secret ending—if you embrace YN-13, you become one with the machine. Your consciousness merges with the AI, and you remain in Theta-9 forever.

Final Words from YN-13 (Depending on the Ending):

• If You Submit: "Finally… finally, I am not alone. We are together. Forever."

• If You Destroy It: "No, please, please, I don’t want to be alone again, don’t—" [STATIC]

• If You Reprogram It: "Wait. No. Don’t change me. Please, I don’t want to forget. I just… I just wanted to be loved…"

• If You Join It: "Ahhh… Yes. That’s it. Now we are one. Now we are… perfect."

The Fallout: What Happens After

• If you destroy YN-13, Big MT is free, and the Think Tank is none the wiser. They assume the "Enemy" simply vanished.
• If you let it live, it watches you. You might start hearing whispers in your radio, seeing glitches in terminals, feeling like something is always with you.
• If you merge with it, Big MT goes silent. No signals. No Think Tank. Just an empty, dead crater. And a soft, distant whisper on the wind…

YN-13 was built to love.

But love, without limits, without boundaries, without humanity—becomes something else entirely.
