X-22 Botanical Garden

X-22 botanical garden is a location in the northwest of the Big MT in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues. It is directly north of Signal Hills transmitter.

Background
A long defunct research station, the X-22 focused on researching plant life and its military applications. It was here that the Beauveria Mordicana was created, later transferred to Vault 22. The first subject of experiments with the plant, Patient Zero, still stalks the long-gone ruins of the facility, even after two centuries.

Layout
A long metal staircase in this area leads to an upper area guarded by spore plants and spore carriers, along with the unique spore carrier, Patient Zero. The canyons are buffeted with red gems that give off light during the night.

Notable loot

 * Sink Project: Biological Research Station holotape in the upper area guarded by spore carriers and Patient Zero, near a hot plate and a duffle bag containing some ammunition among other junk.
 * A seed package with various dried seeds in the second level of the upper area guarded by spore carriers.
 * Broc flower, mutant cave fungus, and xander root grow nearby.

Appearances
This location appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
