“You never should have left, kid. And now we'll make sure that nobody ever leaves again!”
Officer Wilkins is a member of Vault 101 security in 2277.
Background
When the Lone Wanderer returns to the vault in the course of the Trouble on the Homefront quest, he is wandering around the Vault and will instantly approach the player upon sight. He angrily talks about how much he despises the Lone Wanderer and his/her father, blaming the two for the dire situation Vault 101 is in after they escaped, saying "You never should have left kid. And now we'll make sure that nobody ever leaves again!" After he finishes, he will become hostile to the Lone Wanderer and attacks. It is possible to avoid this confrontation if the player doesn't encounter Officer Wilkins.

Bugs
- If you go down to the basement sub-level during Trouble on the Homefront and enter the room where the Wanderer had to shoot the targets, where you encounter Officer Wilkins, you may find that opening the door and dropping a mine immediately would prevent officer Wilkins from entering his "you should have never left kid" dialogue, keeping him friendly.
- After opening the door, it is possible to see Wilkins spontaneously teleport back a good distance from the player character.
Sometimes Wilkins will be in the path to the Overseer's office, and automatically turns the Overseer hostile, making it impossible to complete Trouble On the Homefront in certain ways.
