Sergeant D. Allen was a United States Army member who served under Captain Roger Maxson.
Background[edit]
In 2077, Allen was amongst many soldiers at Mariposa Military Base to rebel against the United States government. However, during the Exodus from Mariposa to Lost Hills,[1] a divisionist faction led by Allen split from the other members, taking some technology and weapons with them. This faction included at least three others, Soto, Jensen, and Camarillo. After twenty days, they successfully made it to the West Tek research facility, but radiation levels began to rise as soon as the crater was in sight.[2] They concluded that with their armor and Rad-X supplies they'd be fine for at least a day of exploring and that the technology they had the potential of recovering was worth it.[2]
They climbed down the crater and explored the first two levels of the facility, unaware that the security sensors on these levels were destroyed.[2] Upon entering the third level, the still-working sensors there triggered the security system and killed most of Allen's people.[2] Allen tried to regroup, but only Soto and Camarillo made it back up to the first level with him. Soto had lost an arm to the security systems, while Allen's power armor was heavily damaged, the air filters broken and leaking hydraulic fluid.[2] Camarillo was not injured physically, but wandered off with the remaining radiation medication muttering to himself. All three of them eventually died.[2] Before he died, Allen logged what happened to the expedition into a holodisk which was later found by the Vault Dweller.[Pub 1]

Cabbot: "Oh, well, in the Exodus, the Brotherhood split into two groups. The group that broke away robbed the others of some of the weapons an-and went southwest. About ten years ago, we sent out knights to look for them, but all they found was ruins. No one knows what happened."

"It was in my best interest to leave town for a while. I journeyed to this Brotherhood. Thinking they would have the knowledge I sought, I tried to join them. They required me to go on a quest before they would let me in. Thinking it would be a short and easy quest, I agreed and set off for the place they called the Glow. The horror of atomic war was never so obvious to me until then.
The Brotherhood was surprised to see me, and even more surprised to see that I had not only survived their quest, but succeeded. They gave me the information I required and some of their technology, and I set off in search of the Boneyard."

The Elders refuse, so Allen and his divisionist group splits away from the Brotherhood of Steel, taking some technology and weapons with them." - ↑ Fallout Bible p.25: "TIMELINE REPAIR: SECOND STRIKE"
"2134: Led by Sergeant Dennis Allen, a small team of the Brotherhood of Steel head to the West Tek research facility in search of technological artifacts. They arrive there twenty days later, and are promptly chewed apart by the West Tek's unforgiving automated defense systems. Wounded, Allen begins to suffer radiation poisoning from a leak in his suit. Before he dies, he logs what happened to the expedition into a holodisk then goes to join the Brotherhood in the sky."
