X-12 Research Center

The X-12 research center is a location in the Big MT, directly southwest of the Think Tank.

Layout
An upgraded sonic emitter pistol is needed to get past the force field blocking the stairs going down. On the bottom floor below, the Y-17 master trauma harness is wandering around. After disposing of it, three more Y-17 trauma override harness entities will spawn at the front door.

Appearances
The X-12 research center appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes

 * There is a buffalo gourd seed wedged between two machines that appear to be unsuccessfully attempting to crush it. This could be another reference to the film Buckaroo Banzai in which a watermelon is seen in almost the exact same situation.


 * With the Wild Wasteland trait, the Y-17 master trauma harness and the three regular Y-17s that spawn upon his death will say and repeat "Hey, who turned out the lights?" This is a reference to the Doctor Who episode "Silence in the Library."

Bugs

 * If the Y-17 master trauma harness detects the player character, it may pass through the forcefield and commence attacking, spawning the other enemies upon his death.
 * The Y-17 master trauma harness may be able to shoot the player character through the forcefield, but without the sonic emitter, he cannot be killed.
