Carbon Crater

Carbon Crater is a giant hole in the earth near the town of Carbon in 2208. It is filled with ruins of buildings and cars The crater is a place of many points of interest.

Background
Before the war, a large facility specializing in hazardous materials was located here. Drums, pipes with radioactive material, minign equipment, as well as the remains of the Carbon warehouse are found here. The crater consists of the upper level, lower level, and the pit.

The area is irradiated and inhabited by several variants of radscorpions including those that are glowing and others that spit poison. The creatures live in the crater with radbugs and giant rats. After a fight between the Initiate and the mayor of Carbon, Richard, the crater collapses due to Richard's use of explosives. After the Initiate leaves the crater, they cannot return.

Upper level
The Crater Upper Level is where the player character first enters the Crater. It has several abandoned homes, dangerous crevices leading lower, and a farm.

A dead cat can be found in a building just to the East of the entrance. This is Ruby's cat Mr. Pussy. This area exists to the Crater Lower Level, and back to the town of Carbon.

Lower level
The Crater Lower level includes more dangerous pits. When entering this area the Initiate will find radscorpion nests that will pop open on approach, revealing the nesting creatures. On the escape from the crater, a couple of giant radscorpions will be waiting in the nesting grounds. This area exists to the Crater Pit and back to Crater Upper Level.

Pit
The Crater Pit is the last section of the crater and is a cave where Richard claims to be a pre-War excavation site for dinosaur bones. It is decorated by a circle of cars, half-dug into the ground. The Initiate fights Richard in this room. The only exit is back out to Crater Lower Level.
