Ten cans? You can't take only ten cans. You know it tastes better than that old Cram or Brahmin that's been sitting out in the sun for days. There are people out there who are hungry, you've just got to sell up the product a bit more.— Theodore to Rylee

Theodore "Theo" Collins is the man running Longneck Lukowski's Cannery in 2287.

Background[]

This section is transcluded from Longneck Lukowski's Cannery. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

Longneck Lukowski's Cannery was a meat processing and packing plant that survived the Great War relatively unscathed. By 2287, the plant was rediscovered by Theodore Collins, who has managed to repair the Mister Handies within to, once again, work processing the meat.[1] Theodore also taught himself how to operate the canning retorts and began working with various traders to bring him meat and sell his product. The traders were unable to bring him enough meat to keep up with demand, so he began mixing in meat from mole rats in the basement and hoping nobody would notice.[2] Eventually one of the canning retorts exploded, causing the basement to become infested with feral ghouls.[3] He then began mixing in the meat from the feral ghouls to keep up with demand, causing consumers to become ill.

When the Sole Survivor encounters the cannery, they find Theodore arguing with Trader Rylee about the quality of the meat. He claims that the meat was contaminated by mole rats and warns the Sole Survivor to stay out of the basement. When the Sole Survivor goes down to investigate, he locks the elevator to prevent them from telling anyone his secret.

Bugs[]

PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One Talking to Trader Rylee before Theodore will cause a dialogue bug that removes the option to ask him about people getting sick, resulting in Mystery Meat becoming unobtainable from him. You can still start the quest by going all the way up the inside of the cannery and going down the elevator in the southeast corner, or alternatively by loading an earlier save and speaking to Theodore first. However, sometimes this bug will occur regardless of trying to talk to Theodore first. [verified]
