H&H Tools Factory

The H&amp;H Tools Factory is a building directly to the west of North Vegas Square.

Background
H&H Tools Factory was the Houses' family owned company. Robert House's half-brother, Anthony House, cheated the inheritance of the company from Mr. House when their father died. Anthony House suffered from paranoia, which led to increasingly severe security measures at the company, between 2020 and 2023. In 2077, he locked down the H&H Tools Factory in outer Vegas and activated its security systems. He also planted frag mines inside the interior of the factory and fired all his employees. Despite this, his body is nowhere to be found in the factory.

Layout
The building consists of two floors with sporadic placement of traps and frag mines. Throughout the building are a number of terminals with correspondence between one another. While most correspondence is business related in one room the E-mails between each computer are humorous and sexual in nature. Part of the bottom floor contains an industrial area leading up to the top floor. The top floor contains the office of Anthony House, half-brother of Robert House.

Through the double-doors to the left of the entrance brings you to a hallway. The first left is a kitchen with a lot of food and Nuka-Cola. The door at the end of the hallway is protected by five frag mines in front of the door. There is also a rigged shotgun on the desk connected to a trip-wire on the other side of the door. If you detonate the mines, the trip wire will be broken. Going to your right you will encounter a Crazed Mister Handy. The next two doors your left are guarded by two automated turret (Mark VI). The door to the right has a pressure based steel girder trap and leads to the flooded room.

Going forward from the entrance is a large metal room guarded by two robobrains, the ground is also flooded with irradiated water. Going up the metal steps on the second landing are four frag mines. Going all the way up will bring you to a metal catwalk, the room ahead has two frag mines at the doorway. The suspicious terminal in this room had the Journal Entry 04/15/2077. The filing cabinets to the right hold some ammunition. The office to your left is Anthony House's old office guarded by a shotgun trap tied to a trip wire right inside the door. Inside the office, the filing cabinets to the left hold some ammunition. On top of his desk lies a Lucky 38 VIP keycard. The computer in this room gives you the ability to perform an executive override in the Lucky 38 penthouse after a hack. Down the hallway to the right leads to some offices with a terminal holding the Journal Entry 04/06/2068 and 12/27/2074

Behind the scenes

 * Several of the computers have messages between co-workers. There appears to have been quite the sordid set of affairs going on. Each of the members of the affair suggests an esoteric collection of items to be brought to the rendezvous to remember old times. These items are a reference to the sexual shenanigans of the Nazis in the British comedy "'Allo 'Allo".
 * There is a reference to the card game Tragic the Garnering, from Fallout 2, in one of the human resources e-mails sent to employees. The e-mail states that employees found associating with Tragic players will be dismissed.
