He often uses his drug addiction as a sympathy plea to guilt anyone calling him out. įantastic is also a frequent drug user, solely using his position to further fuel his drug addiction. When asked to elaborate on his working environment, his explanation starts promisingly enough, noting "that console there controls the main power grid," but soon devolves, ending with, "that slot over there makes sparks when you put stuff in it." If told that he doesn't know what he's doing, he disagrees and insists that he knows exactly what he is doing, he just doesn't know what effect it will have. Other NCR soldiers and Ignacio Rivas have little respect for him. This would make him a shrewd character to deal with, but Fantastic is fantastically bereft of intelligence, which exposes him as a fraud to anyone who has to spend even a couple of minutes around him. He truly believes (or has deluded himself into believing) he could fix Helios One without any technical expertise. Personalityįull of himself, Fantastic believes in nothing but his own self-interest and benefit and has no qualms about weaseling his way into a position he's untrained for. If the plant is run inefficiently then its true purpose, ARCHIMEDES, can be safely kept secret from the NCR. He continues to maintain the plant's output at "one percent efficiency." This is advantageous for Rivas as he has been purposely keeping Fantastic - and by extension the NCR - in the dark in order to protect information about Helios One. Ignacio is shown through dialogue to be far more knowledgeable about HELIOS One, but Fantastic manages the plant and doesn't listen to Ignacio's ideas. He works in the control room alongside Ignacio Rivas.
For months he has been working on a single console, assuming that the biggest console is the most important, which, unbeknownst to him, is the console for the Helios intercom system. Įven though Fantastic has accomplished very little in his time at Helios, he has properly identified a couple of problems that he has yet to fix, like the outside mirrors being aligned improperly. Some people in the plant have seen through his lies for the idiot he really is. However, he's been instilling the belief among NCR personnel that he's essential to the operations at Helios One, to avoid being fired, so he can gain as much money from the NCR as possible to fuel his drug addiction. Since arriving at Helios One, Fantastic, due to his incompetence and self-centered attitude, has done nothing to repair Helios One. They said welcome aboard." This was enough to satisfy the NCR recruiters, and he was given the job. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. When the Courier asks Fantastic how he got the job, he confidently replies, "they asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. 2 Interactions with the player characterĪn immature and egotistical con artist, Fantastic was recruited by the NCR because they required technical experts to work on the HELIOS One power plant.
