The Whitespring Bunker

The Whitespring bunker, also called the Congressional Bunker, is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia in 2102. It is the primary headquarters of the Eastern Commonwealth Enclave.

Background
The Whitespring bunker was built by the United States government beneath The Whitespring Resort to ensure continuity of government by providing protection and shelter for Federal officials and military personnel in the event of a nuclear war. During the Great War in 2077, members of the Eastern Commonwealth Enclave made it to the bunker and survived the ensuing apocalypse.

At some point prior to 2102, the Scorched Plague penetrated the bunker and infected all of its human inhabitants. The facility has since lain abandoned aside from the robots assigned to maintain it and MODUS, an AI that has taken charge of the Eastern Commonwealth Enclave.

Layout
The Whitespring bunker has two exterior entrances: the main entrance is a blast door built into a hillside a short distance from the Whitespring Resort with a parking lot that is accessed by a side road, and a secondary entrance can be found near The Whitespring service entrance. Both entrances are blocked by laser grids that prevent unauthorized individuals from passing through them. Beyond this initial stage of security is the entrance to the bunker proper, a large cog-shaped door much like those used for Vault-Tec vaults.

Immediately inside the bunker is the orientation floor. Those that enter the bunker must first be photographed and then led through a decontamination apparatus to remove any traces of radiation. Past orientation is a large window exhibiting the room containing the apparatuses that hold MODUS. Next is the admittance floor, where new residents must register themselves and optionally take a questionnaire about pre-War U.S. history. To the right of admittance are two elevators which lead back to the orientation floor.

Individuals with proper clearance can proceed north of admittance to the foyer section, which has connects to the communications wing, military wing, science wing, medical wing, production wing and robotics wing. The military wing contains the brig, which is equipped with two cells and a prisoner interrogation device, and also connects to the command wing, which requires higher clearance to access.
