Listening Post Bravo

The Listening Post Bravo is a location in the Commonwealth $$

Background
Originally a radio listening bunker for the U.S. Military, it was designed to monitor any threats coming in over the radio. At some point before the bombs fell, a soldier was stationed there to listen to radio frequencies. This soldier stated he had to stay down there for a month, and reported hearing strange words over the radio, and banging inside the elevator even though it was locked down where he was.

Exterior
There is a fenced landing pad opposite the entrance. Protecting the entrance to the bunker are two pre-War turrets and a Protectron. Inside the entrance, an Advanced-locked security gate protects a tool case and leveled ammo. Behind the nearby desk is a military skeleton that's fallen out of a desk chair, and a Master-level wall terminal next to an inoperable elevator. The terminal will allow the elevator to be powered, and the Sole Survivor can descend into the bunker.

Interior
There are two (possibly destroyed) Protectrons, and an (offline) turret. There is also an armor workbench and a weapons workbench in the southeast corner. The turret can be brought online and hacked from the monitoring terminal on the desk near the center of the room. Once inside, a yao guai will likely charge into the room from an adjacent cave through a damaged wall. Beyond the hole in the wall is a pool of water, with the bones of at least five people and a suitcase below the surface; however, the suitcase cannot be accessed. Further into the cave is a breach into the other room of the listening post, where a steamer trunk can be found.

Notable loot

 * Three grape Mentats - One on a console on the western wall of the first subterranean room, and two more on the console against the northern wall of the second room (accessed through the cave).
 * Paladin Danse final entry - If Danse commits suicide during Blind Betrayal.

Behind the scenes
The monitoring terminal holds several references to Swedish metal band Katatonia. The sergeant on duty, J.P. Renkse, refers to the name of the band's lead vocalist, Jonas Peter Renkse. The initials "D-E-K" reference the band's album Dead End Kings, while the phrases found on the terminal are lyrics from the song "Dead Letters," which appears on the same album. Another band member, Anders Nyström, was previously referenced in a different Bethesda title, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
