Vault-Tec Regional HQ

The Vault-Tec Regional HQ was once a headquarters for the Vault-Tec Corporation in Boston, and is now a landmark in the Beacon Hill neighborhood.

Background
The troubles of this facility started only a few months before the Great War. On September 29, 2077, Martin Reid began to uncover that not all was right with his employers. Spotting several odd shipments to the Vaults under their purview, he immediately took his discovery to his boss, Frank Davidson, who noted in his personal log two days later that the company wouldn't do anything of the sort. Then on October 7, he received word from Walter Scott that a shipment for Vault 111 was in the basement, marked "Vault 111 - DO NOT OPEN." When he opened the shipment, he discovered hundreds of gallons of liquid nitrogen. The shock from this obvious clue that all was not right at the company is what caused him to put in his two weeks notice on October 22.

In addition, Frank Davidson was a sociopath, once breaking a pool cue over Roger's head because he stood too close to the table when Mr. Davidson was taking his shot. In his personal log, he notes that when Sharon accidentally spilled coffee on his shirt (on October 13) he had a burning desire to stab her in the throat with his pen. He would eventually fulfill his murder fantasy on the 17th, and wrote that he had the same desire to "discipline" Mr. Reid for continually bringing up his Vault theory on the 19th.

Layout
The reception area with blocked stairs and an elevator to the right of the entrance. A few small rooms down a hall to the north with minor loot including a lunchbox. There is a collapsed floor in a kitchen leading up to the second floor. The building is inhabited by feral ghouls.

The second floor's entryway is on the north end with a pair of small offices. On the east side of the floor is a small theater room and Dr. Reid's office where one can see a bit of info about Vault-Tec's operations. On the south side is a bullpen-style office and stairs leading up.

On the east side of the third floor is a conference room. The middle of the floor is a game room with a pool table. The north has a large office with a terminal and an Advanced locked safe. There is also a basement that consists of a large warehouse area with a Novice locked terminal and an Expert locked back door.

The first floor elevator leads to the basement, where Walter Scott's terminal is found. There is a skeleton stuffed behind some crates under a shelf in the corner of the basement next to a pen. An Expert locked door leaving the basement can be unlocked with the terminal.

Notable loot

 * Mini nuke - In the toilet in the basement inside the closet.
 * Three Vault-Tec lunchboxes - One on the third floor on a desk in the back office, one on the first floor in the kitchenette and one on a shelf in the basement.
 * Fusion core - On the roof of a building west of Vault-Tec Regional HQ. It can be accessed by climbing construction scaffolding and a fire escape (with one jump up from a skylight) on the building northwest of Vault-Tec Regional HQ's front entrance, then jumping down to the building northeast of the entrance.
