General Atomics Galleria

The General Atomics Galleria is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
A pre-War relic, it was meant to be a demonstration of what a town's commercial district would look like if it were run entirely by robots. Inhabited only by Mr. Handies and Mr. Gutsies of varying personalities, the location is entirely oblivious to the War.

Just prior to the War, a Grand Opening Supervisor was meant to arrive, whom the player character can masquerade as in order to gain further access to the location. Manual password override can be found at the terminal in the back of the bowling alley. The supervisor's password keycard can be found in the Director's office to the left of his desk.

If one reads one of the terminals, it can be learned that it is suspected the previous supervisor was killed by the Director, the head robot. The terminal record advises the park is shut down permanently.

The various shops around the galleria remain open but will not operate normally until the Grand Re-opening. Due to errors in the Mr. Handy robots' programming, many interactions can result in the shopkeepers attacking the Sole Survivor. Destroying the attacking robots that would have otherwise become vendors will permanently disable access to those shops, even after the Grand Re-opening.

Layout
Buildings are arranged in a circular fashion around a courtyard in which a central control tower is located. Behind the locked door [Advanced] in Madden's Gym there is a terminal, this can be hacked to activate a 'Manager's Sale' providing a 25% discount.

In a clockwise order:
 * Madden's Gym
 * General Atomics Outlet
 * Handy Eats
 * Back Alley Bowling
 * Fallon's department store
 * Pirelli's Bakery
 * Slocum's Joe
 * Control tower (giant Mister Handy in the center)

The Grand Re-opening
When going up to the Director's office one will have several options to interact with him, they will all end in the Director demanding that the player character identifies themselves.

Several options involve passing speech checks. It is also possible to acquire a General Atomics ID card from the General Atomics factory which will allow to identify oneself without a speech check; in doing so the Director will gift a gold watch for 275 years of service. If succeeding any of the speech checks or presenting the ID, the galleria can be reopened, allowing the grand prize for the reopening raffle to be obtained. If attempting a speech check (difficulty not dependent on Charisma), and failing, the Director will become hostile along with all the other robots at the facility.

Alternatively, if 'The Director' has been destroyed one can use a password saved in the supervisor's terminal to access the computer in the Director's office, though the terminal's functions are disabled as long as 'The Director' is still functional. The terminal will provide the Sole Survivor with the options to start the Grand Reopening, shutdown all robots, or initiate a self-destruct sequence in all of the robots. Updating the Director's computer's firmware (re-opening the galleria) will immediately end the hostility of all the remaining Mr. Handies.

After the grand opening, the Sole Survivor will see a scavenger living in the region. He will be walking between stores, but will have a bag next to the boxing ring.

Notable loot

Appearances
The General Atomics Galleria only appears in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
On at least two monitors in the various buildings, are emails sent by a one "Isaac" in regards to the robots and their programming. In one case he discusses a "law" in regards to the robots' programming. This is highly likely a nod to famous author Isaac Asimov whose literary works are mostly about robots, and devised the famous Three Laws of Robotics. xd
