It's been brought up before, but there's currently an issue where Bria (and a few other characters) vanish when you regurgitate them. This isn't so much of an issue with other characters because you can teleport them back to you simple enough, but because Bria is a custom NPC, and she uses the players ID, there's no way to get her back from that 'mysterious belly room' she teleports to.
I have found a way to get her back, though it's very annoying, but also it's fun because you essentially get to teleport into your own stomach.
Essentially what's happening (to my knowledge) is anyone you swallow is removed from the playable space and inserted into your giant hammerspace stomach, which is this room. The problem that's occuring is when you regurgitate the people, they are supposed to be transported from that room into the space around you. Instead, they are briefly skipping into the space around you before returning to your stomach room.
The solution is quite simple but it requires using the command console. Step one is to find a companion/character and open the command console with '~'. Then, click on the character, and write down the number. For this example, I'll be using Piper, who's Reference ID, or FFID, is 0002f1f. For the return trip you can either use another NPC, such as Preston, who should always be in Sanctuary (FFID 0001A4D7) or use the cheat terminal to teleport yourself back out of your stomach and to another location.
Step two is to eat Piper, or whatever NPC you're using, then regurgitate her. She should zip off screen and return to your stomach.
Now, open the command console with '~' and just type
player.moveto 0002f1f
You'll be transported into your own stomach, next to Piper, and Bria should be here. Now, simply make Bria your companion and use
Player.moveto 0001A4D7
And you'll be transported out of your stomach and appear next to Preston, with Bria teleported with you hopefully. Then you can let Piper out (if you want to) with the opposite command
0002f1f.moveto player
And she will teleport next to you. If you use other NPC's for your lifelines, just replace the number strings with the FFID of whatever NPC you use, and it should work just the same. I hope this helps people who are having this issue until this bug is patched out!
