Hidden Valley Bunker, L2

Points of Interest
The entrance/exit area of level has Brotherhood of Steel logo on the wall and two paths that go off to the east and to the west.

The west area has the Command Room with Elder McNamara and another adjoining hallway. Further down the hallway is where you find Head Paladin Hardin, he can be found in either of the two rooms beyond the first room.

The east area has the archive computer terminals, the machine shop and the virtual reality pod room.
 * In the archive area is Scribe Ibsen, here you can do the quest Hidden Valley computer virus. Hint:  If the terminal you are on is not infected hit the red power button on the terminal to end the session quickly.


 * You can find Senior Knight Lorenzo, usually on the right side of the room as you enter, in the machine shop. He has no real purpose until the final stages of the quest Still in the Dark.


 * The Virtual Reality pod room has both Head Scribe Taggart and Apprentice Watkins, it also houses the Self-Destruct Authorization Terminal and the Self-Destruct Terminal (Locked - Very Hard). If you successfully hack the terminal you can initiate a self-destruct sequence that will immediately Vilify you with the Brotherhood of Steel which causes all Brotherhood of Steel members to become hostile.  You can abort the sequence by reactivating the terminal and choosing to abort but has no effect on their hostility to the player at this point.


 * If you cause the self destruct sequence and leave Hidden Valley, you will hear an explosion and fail all the associated quests. But if you go back into the bunker and have a 100 lockpick skill, you can walk through the rubble and get back inside to L1 where the alarm will still be sounding and all of the brotherhood will still be hostile toward you
