Morgantown Airport

Morgantown Airport is a location within Morgantown in the Forest region of Appalachia.

Background
The Morgantown Airport served as headquarters for the Responders after the Great War. In 2096, all surviving Responders were recalled to defend the airport from the Scorched. Unable to do so, the airport was overrun and everyone inside killed. With the fall of their headquarters, the Responders were unable to mount an offensive to retake the airport, nor were they able to establish a new headquarters.

When Vault 76 opened, all known Responders were either dead or had abandoned their posts and fled Appalachia. The automated cargo bot delivery system the Responders used is still functional and triggers the event Collision Course when a player character is in the proximity of the landing pad. It is currently populated by Scorched and petrified corpses.

Layout
Once serving as a transportation hub for travel to and from Morgantown, the airport was converted into the central headquarters for Responder operations in Appalachia. The expansive tarmac, main parking lot, and hangars were used for shelter as well as serving as stations for feeding and treating refugees. Shipping containers were likewise converted into makeshift shelters and the airport's terminal building was utilized for advanced training and housing other necessary facilities.

Medical tents and a triage station are situated in the front parking lot near checkpoints around the entrance. The Morgantown monorail station is located at the front of the terminal, and the perimeter is fortified by makeshift walls constructed with available materials, including salvaged infantry fighting vehicles.

There is a community garden next to a basketball court behind the terminal to the northwest. It contains a bounty of produce including wild carrot flowers, snaptail reeds, razorgrain, tatos, corn, and pumpkins. There is an armor workbench in a red shipping container near the garden. There is a blue container to the south of the red container which contains a weapons workbench and the remains of Rocky. A cooking station can be found near a truck, of which the trailer was made into a shelter.

The main control tower has makeshift scaffolding around the outside upon which sits a machine gun turret. Inside the tower is a radio which is the source of the Responders' distress signal, as well as a holotape recorded by Melody Larkin. Two power armor stations are found in the area.

Three hangars to the northeast of the main control tower have been converted into a Bot Shop, medical area, and laboratory. The Bot Shop used to be Miguel Caldera's main base of operations and his terminal can still be found inside. The Bot Shop also contains a weapons workbench, tinker's workbench and cooking stove, and a fusion generator with a working core. There is also a steamer trunk on the first floor which can be looted.

The medical hangar next door contains four first aid boxes and the Responders laboratory terminal. The laboratory hangar is located in a fenced-off quarantine area next to the medical hangar. It contains a chemistry station and a Scorched corpse on a medical examination table.

Further into the westernmost area is a Quonset hut marked "quarantine." It contains cells with the bodies of those in varying states of becoming Scorched - corpses, skeletons, and petrified corpses. At the back of the area is part of a destroyed Skylanes Air plane. Inside is a cooking station as well as a makeshift camp in the cockpit with a cardboard cut-out of Nuka-Girl and a safe. Beside the plane is a landing pad for cargobots which is part of the quest Collision Course.
