Z-38 Lightwave Dynamics Research

The Z-38 lightwave dynamics research is a location in the western part of Big MT in 2281. It is located southwest of the Z-43 innovative toxins plant.

Background
This place was at one time involved with a hologram project for the Sierra Madre Casino & Resort. The project's completion was delayed, when the holograms had to be equipped with defensive capabilities, on request of Frederick Sinclair. It was also Sinclair, who ordered a flawless hologram of Vera Keyes to be created. Two non-hostile holograms remain in the facility.

Layout
A small, two-story building, which can be accessed by two entrances. The main entrance is located on the eastern side of the building, slightly elevated at the end of some concrete stairs. The backdoor entrance can be reached via a set of metal stairs, which can be found on the building's southern side.

The first floor has a Sunset Sarsaparilla vending machine near the entrance, as well as several desks across the room. One of the desks in the center has a terminal on it. Another desk near the southern wall has a photograph of Vera Keyes. A blueish column of light can be found in the center of the room, and a tool cabinet is located behind it, near the western wall.

A set of stairs on the southern wall, near the vending machine, leads up to the second floor, which consists of multiple catwalks holding machinery. The backdoor entrance is located at the western wall. The dead end has a toolbox, as well as two scrap electronics and one roll of duct tape.

Notable loot

 * Valence radii-accentuator - Located in a column of light in the middle of the first floor. It can be difficult to see.
 * Recipes - Energy Weapons skill book - Located underneath the monitor at the top of the first flight of stairs to the right, in the northwest corner.
 * Five Proton throwing axes - Three located in the southwest corner of the upstairs platform, and two in a dumpster behind the building.
 * Five plasma grenades - Located in the same dumpster as the proton throwing axes, behind the building.
