Peter Englert is a prepper who asks Sam to deliver pizzas to him.
Story[]
Background[]
Peter came from a family who love pizza, and lives with his father and sister. At some point, he married with a woman who began to live with him in the shelter.
Sam's Westward Expedition[]
Peter made correspondence with Sam after the porter arrived in the Central Region, and after hearing so very much about him. He first requested a pizza from Lake Knot City for his sister, a ham lover who had been feeling under the weather lately, fearing that pizza will be the one thing that might restore the color to "her cheeks". Sam made the delivery, but no one responded to him. Peter later wrote to Sam to apologize, stating his sister was asleep when he arrived, while he was out and about attending to private matters that demanded his utmost attention.
The second request Peter made to Sam was for a pizza, from South Knot this time, for a sweet couple whom he is intensely fond of; because he was incapable of preparing anything but the most base and disagreeable cuisine, he placed himself at Sam's mercy yet again. Again, when Sam arrived at the shelter, no one responded to him; the reason given that even if the visiting couple were desperate to present themselves to Sam in holographic form, they were hopeless novices in all matters technological. Peter, meanwhile, was away procuring vital supplies so he was unable to help them.
Peter wrote to Sam for a third time, this time for a very important celebration: his and his beloved wife's wedding anniversary. To commemorate the birth of their union, Peter requests a pair of pizzas with Gouda cheese from the timefall farmers’ shelter; they provided the wheat for the dough, with a bottle of their magnificent beer to enjoy. Once again, there was no one to respond to Sam when he made the delivery because, prior to the porter's arrival, Peter and his wife had a rare but rather intense lovers’ quarrels, which led her to storm off in a proverbial huff with Peter following her to take his wife back to the shelter. When they returned, they were greeted with fresh pizza, still piping hot from the oven, and she was so entirely over the moon that she forgave Peter for everything.
When Peter's elderly father, who had been fiendishly out of sorts of late, divulged to him his dreams of the Beach, a dreading Peter requested Sam to deliver a salami pizza, his father's favorite, from Mountain Knot City, in fear the elder may not be long for this earth. As Sam arrives, he is once again not greeted by anyone else but the performance evaluator. Peter apologizes yet again for it in the next email, telling how his father was almost about to pass on when the pizza arrived. Thankfully, due to Sam's efforts the pizza arrives in time, allowing Peter's father to take one last bite of delicious pizza and to pass away with a smile on his face.
Peter writes one last time to Sam, aware that the letter will reach him when he became condemned to the Beach, having been rendered powerless by someone, but he will forever cherish the memory of each and every pizza the porter kindly delivered to his doorstep. While there is one singular blemish upon their relationship, he asked Sam for one final favor, so that he can at last forgive the porter. The pizza in question awaits Sam at the first prepper’s shelter, high atop a snow-capped peak, and must be transported intact thence to his front door, unlocked for the occasion. When Sam arrives at Peter Englert's private quarters, he discovers that Peter was Higgs the whole time.

Notes[]
- The name "Peter Englert" is a combination of the names of theoretical physicists Peter Higgs and François Englert, who together won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the Higgs mechanism.
- Inside the shelter, you can see some unique objects like a replica (or maybe original) of an Egyptian funerary mask of Tutankhamun and various books. Also, you can find some skulls of primitive men and homo sapiens, the same skulls Heartman has in his lab. Due to the fact that they look to be identical it's possible they were all replicas.
- This shelter once open has an unique hologram of welcome that is the Egyptian funerary mask. Curiously, this is the only hologram you can't unlock it in all the game and also one of the few holograms without movement.
- Peter Englert always asks for pizzas for the sake of other people, like his sister, a visiting couple, his wife, and his father. He always has certain specifications for the pizzas such as specific ingredients to justify why the pizzas are only obtainable from a specific location.
- He presents himself to Sam as his greatest fan, calling him "The Man who Delivers Pizza". His emails are often loquacious and he often apologizes to Sam for "being impudent", due to asking him to pause his journey to the west just to deliver pizzas. After every delivery, he sends another email thanking Sam and apologizing for not being there to greet him, always with a different excuse.
- All pizzas must be carried flat, requiring the use of a floating carrier, truck, or extra cargo on the back. The starting points for the five deliveries are as follows:
- Lake Knot City
- South Knot City
- Timefall Farm (Includes champagne that must be carried only by hand)
- Mountain Knot City
- The First Prepper
