SatCom Array NN-03d

SatCom Array NN-03d is a satellite communications array, part of the SatCom Array in the northwest of the Capital Wasteland. It is located between Fort Constantine and the MDPL-21 power station.

Layout
NN-03d consists of three satellite dish arrays and is occupied by a force of raiders. The structures of this location are also home to several "Easter eggs." The raiders occupying the SatCom array respawn after 72 hours.

Array NN-03d-A and C can be entered from the ground level; B's front door is boarded up. A's entry point has a heavy population of raiders. C requires a terminal hack to get in. Arrays A and B are connected by a bridge on top of the dishes - avoid holes - watch out for the raiders on the outsides of arrays B and C. Arrays B and C are connected by a basement. Array C is locked, but can be opened with the nearby terminal (very easy). The view on top of C is breathtaking, but don't miss the two mini nukes on the arms of the "scarecrow" setup on the edge of the satellite dish.

NN-03d-B has a chessboard with miniature garden gnomes as the pawns and miniature bottles of alcohol and electron charge packs as the other pieces. On the board the game is two moves in. One player has moved a knight, the electron charge pack, and the other player has moved a miniature garden gnome, a pawn.

Balanced on the railing of the walkway leading to the chessboard, you will find a carefully arranged array of sporks. They may spell out something if looked at from a certain angle. Taking or moving any of the sporks, or even walking too close to them, will cause the arrangement to crumble, with some falling onto the walkway and some all the way to the floor below. NN-03d-B contains the giant teddy bear behind the boarded up hall behind the chemistry set on the ground floor. The door behind the teddy bear doesn't lead anywhere.

To the northeast of the towers is a small doorway set into the rock. When opened, the door reveals a concrete wall with the words "FUCK YOU" written on it in big green letters. On top of that door are three missiles, which are, mysteriously, balancing on the very tip of the warheads. There is also two empty burial mounds outside one of the SatComs.

The Brotherhood Outcasts have a small outpost in a corrugated steel shack with a workbench just southwest of the SatCom array. This outpost is occupied by two Brotherhood Outcasts. Two additional Brotherhood Outcasts can be found patrolling the ridge line path to the northwest of the shack between the array and Fort Constantine.

SatCom Array NN-03d-B

 * Inside SatCom Array NN-03d-B there are chess pieces found near the top of the array that include small-scaled versions of the following: sixteen intact garden gnomes, four bottles of vodka, two large whiskey bottles, two bottles of whiskey, and four bottles of wine.

SatCom Array NN-03d-C

 * Pugilism Illustrated, located atop a toilet on the eastern wall on the first level.
 * 2 mini nukes, located atop a shooting target; The Capital Wasteland, SatCom Array NN-03d. Enter SatCom Array NN-03-C, and traverse up the ladder to the dish. This is where you will find the shooting target.

Surrounding area

 * See abandoned tent.
 * 1 Shishkebab schematics; You can find a set near a workbench in a red Brotherhood Outcast shack, to the south-west of SatCom Array NN-03d. The shack does not appear on the map, but is at the base of the hill the Array is built on.
 * 1 Nuka-Cola Quantum; On top of the shack, just shoot it off the roof.
