Robert Cody

Robert O. Cody was a maintenance technician and the head of a maintenance team assigned to Caverns Area 1 on Mars during the events of Doom 3. A month before the demon invasion, Cody and his team were sent to the Caverns to fix the power generators. However, while in the caverns, they were constantly plagued by mysterious "howlers" and frequent earthquakes (or Mars-quakes). After ten days of working, Cody and his men stopped working, refusing to resume their current assignment until someone figured out what was causing the howlers.

Cody was presumably killed in the demonic invasion. His PDA can be found in the B1 Conference Room in Caverns Area 1. There is a skeleton nearby which may be his. Cody's PDA is the last collectible PDA in the game, not counting the iD Software PDA found in the last level.

Dangerous Conditions in the Caverns
''Audio report regarding dangerous working conditions in caverns below Delta. This is Bob Cody. Today is October 18th, 2145. My crew has been rewiring the generators as ordered for the last several days. We can't finish the work. We're stopping after today. This job ain't worth dying for. We'll be collecting our gear and tying down what we can.''

''We call them howlers, because that's how they start. First the howling gets louder, the screaming, then shaking Earth, er, Mars quakes, throws everything around. Makes walkin' on the catwalks impossible, and workin' with voltage... well, stupid.''

''The noises have some of the guys spooked, and, and I don't blame 'em. Nothing natural about what we've heard. If someone can figure out what's causing the howlers, I'll get the crew to finish the job. 'til then, we'll be available for a new assignment tomorrow.''

Generator Repairs Needed (10-07-2145)
Mr Cody,

''Several crews working in the caverns have reports of at least a dozen generator failures after the recent seismic activity. Please assemble your assigned team and report to Maintenance Supervision for the detailed report. We need those generators operational as soon as possible.''

Thank You, Maintenance Control

Sorry old pal (10-08-2145)
Hey Bob,

''I see that you've been assigned generator duty again, good luck down there with the 'howlers'. Remember to try and keep your team focused, I was assigned down there last month, so I'm very aware of how difficult it can get, especially with all those tremors! Anyhow, give me a shout when you get some free time, we can hit up one of the common areas and down some suds.''

Talk to ya soon, Mark
