Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/The Sewers

The Sewers are the labyrinthine series of Tunnels located below New Vegas.

History
After the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, the Sewers were used as a dumping ground for failed Lucky 38 and Vault 21 experiments. Some of these experiments were released by a disgruntled Vault 21 custodian, resulting in the destruction of that lab.

Rebel Occupation
During the King's Rebellion, the Sewers served as a base of operations for rebel forces. From here, the rebels coordinated attacks against the New California Republic. Among these rebels were Lucky Jim, Pacer, and Mel, as well as the voice of the "Sewer Broadcast". According to the broadcast, the Rebels believed that the Sewers could serve as a safe haven for Survivors. During the evacuation of Vegas, NCR forces deposited radioactive waste into the Sewers, in an attempt to remove the rebels.

Cannibal Occupation
Some time after Lucky Jim's gang left the Sewers, they became populated with Cannibals. Whether these Cannibals were the remnants of surviving rebels or simply another group is unknown. They took advantage of the Sewer Broadcast, using it to lure Survivors into the Sewers, while also destroying nearly all exits out of the tunnels. It also appears that they distributed the Settlement Flyers by way of courier, as these mention the Monument (a colossal statue of twisted metal and rotting corpses located in the Thorn), whereas the Sewer Broadcast does not. This cannibal courier can be found dead in the Jean's Skydiving shack.

Followers of the Apocalypse Investigation
Five years before DUST, the government of the NCR and the Followers of the Apocalypse began a joint investigation into Edwin Royst and his work at the Lucky 38. As part of this investigation, an Investigative Taskforce was sent to New Vegas to gather information. Once in the Sewers, the taskforce was killed off, one by one. Logs can be found throughout the Sewers detailing the experiences of the longest lasting Follower of the Apocalypse in the taskforce.
