Death Ray Control

The Death Ray control is a location on board Mothership Zeta. It is a single large room serving as the control center for Zeta's Death Ray.

Layout
There are four power generators in the corners of the room. The player has to destroy them as a part of quest This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough.... The Death Ray itself is visible beneath the glass floor. The room has two teleporters leading to the Living Quarters and the Death Ray Hub area.

The Death Ray can be fired from this room by using the buttons on the two consoles. The two buttons on the right aim the Death Ray to one of two pre-targeted locations. The buttons on the left (as the holographic "signs" appearing above them signify) bring one of the four generators out of the floor (button to the extreme left) and fire the Death Ray (second button from the left).

The generators rise out of the floor in sequence around the room starting at the left of the consoles. It apparently only takes one generator to power the Death Ray, as the other three do not rise when the Death Ray is fired (and the Death Ray will fire with only one generator left).

The Death Ray can be re-aimed at an unspecified target in Canada and fired multiple times, producing a spectacular mushroom cloud. Firing the Death Ray at Earth has no effect on Karma.

Bugs

 * If you fire the death ray while the reactor cores are up and in the process of overheating they will instead descend back into the floor. Also, when you raise the generator again, it will start overheating straight away.

Appearances
Death Ray control only appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.
