Boulder Dome level 2

The  is the 2nd sub-level of the Boulder Dome.

Layout
The layout description is in direct accordance with the numbered picture to the right:


 * 1: Goddard's Office
 * 2: Agnes' Office - Notably smaller than Goddard's office
 * 3: Residences - The living quarters for the other scientists working in the dome
 * 4: Main Bathroom
 * 5: Physical Fitness Equipment - for any staff or residents of the dome
 * 6: Weapon Research Lab - The room is connected to the Armor Research Lab by a common Mechanics Lab, and the smaller room directly south is the testing room, equipped with targets and all. There's a dead robobrain in this room, apparently used at one time to help with experiments. It can't be repaired and its brain is dead. This area might be quarantined and sealed off because of radiation leakage.


 * Particle Beam research - This weapon required so much energy, it had a link to the main Boulder power centers, but with the reactor in bad shape, there's not enough power to actually test-fire the thing (the dome generator can't provide enough energy to power it and ZAX, and there are several failsafes in place to prevent it re-routing the power distribution). It works by steering a beam of accelerated atomic particles at a target, transferring their energy to the target atoms, which break apart in a strong boiling explosion. The beam is focused by a strong magnetic field, but it has some spray/cone effect because you can't overcompensate with the field. This is radiation.


 * 7: Armor Research Lab - connected to the Weapons Research Lab via the Mechanics Lab; it's testing room is the smaller one on the left


 * Power Armor research - probably on variants of the T-51b


 * 8: Plague Research Lab - a generic science lab; used to be occupied by the scientists developing and studying the New Plague, it still contains their notes and research on a cure:


 * Plague-combatting research, particularly about the New Plague. Many serums and antibiotics were developed but they only seemed to generate a temporary reprieve, as it came back in different forms and srains that affected survivors of the previous outbreak. The virus has a knack for mutating (changing) so it it immune to developed cures. Much propaganda was marketed about hygiene and innoculations, and that helped slow its progress. Outbreaks occurred in 2053-55, 2062-63, and again in 2077. It can go dormant in the cells, only to break out later, making seemingly "cured" people into carriers. Original versions didn't seem to cause sterility. - Secure room (contaminated and sealed)


 * 9: Robobrain Operating Room - the PC can
 * 10: CODE Research Room
 * 11: Sleeper Research

Appearances
did not appear nor was mentioned in any published games, but was going to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
