X-17 Meteorological Station

 is a location in the north of the Big Empty.

Layout
The entrance leads to a small office area, with an exit to a large warehouse. The warehouse has scattered Mr. Handy robots patrolling the perimeter and various catwalks and metal staircases. The patrolling robots include a unique robot named Ironbelly. In the center of warehouse on a raised platform is a small model village and an attached lab. The lab has a terminal which allows you to start a weather test, which causes rain to fall on the model village. Under the platform with the model village is a humorously labeled "soggy duffle bag" with random loot.

To the right as you enter the warehouse from the office is an elevator on the east wall leading to the roof. The roof is guarded by several trauma override harnesses. On the roof is a large container with a table and several filing cabinets.

Notable loot

 * The unique Mr. Handy Ironbelly carries several unique Protonic inversal throwing axes.
 * Snow globe - Big Mt. Research and Development Center and mad Scientist Scrubs are found in the lab adjacent to the model village.
