Quests
- Big Trouble in Big Town: Red is being held captive in the Germantown Police Station, and you are asked to go rescue her.
- Strictly Business: Red is one of the targets for enslavement identified by Eulogy Jones. Grouse refers to her as that "hot doctor chick" from Bigtown.
Effects of player actions
- Once freed from the super mutants, Red will resume selling medical supplies in Big Town.
- If you healed Timebomb, Red will state that even though you are a better doctor than she is she will heal you for free from now on.
Other interactions
- Like Shorty, Red can serve as a pack mule and remains with the Lone Wanderer up until she is returned to Big Town. Red can only provide fire support if properly equipped (e.g. Power Armor and a Chinese Assault Rifle).

Appearances
Red (Fallout 3) only appears in Fallout 3.
Bugs
If you enslaved Red in accordance with the quest Strictly Business, she can be found in the slave house at Paradise Falls. If all the slavers are killed and Red is freed from the collar, she will return to Big Town but not speak to the Lone Wanderer thereafter. A dialogue box appears thanking you for the rescue, but no other options are available, including her healing talents or medical supply inventory.- When you enter the basement of Germantown, Red may not appear thus making the quest Big Trouble in Big Town impossible to complete.
