SatCom Array NW-07c

SatCom Array NW-07c is a communications satellite, part of the SatCom Array in the far northwestern in the Capital Wasteland. It is due west from the Deathclaw Sanctuary, and northwest of the Abandoned car fort.

Layout
The exterior of the SatCom Array is secured by several Enclave soldiers (2-3), an Enclave officer, and on higher levels, an Enclave sentry bot. The interior, however, contains no significant threat; 3-4 Enclave scientists will be encountered, all in fleeing mode, and a pile of ghoul wastelander corpses will be directly in front of a furnace (seen upon entry). Climbing the first ladder there will be one more additional Enclave soldier (on the scaffolding), while climbing the second onto the dish will initiate a sequence where two Enclave Vertibirds fly harmlessly overhead.

Note that if you haven't advanced far enough along the main questline you will only encounter a single Enclave soldier outside the facility, who may not appear until after you have exited onto the exterior scaffolding. The inside will be unoccupied (though an Enclave communications array will still be located inside), and no Vertibirds will fly overhead.

Notable loot

 * A copy of Pugilism Illustrated is located on the highway east of the tower in an internment truck. It contains various other loot as well.
 * There is a copy of Duck and Cover! to the northeast, halfway to SatCom Array NW-05a: On the World Map, search between the two riverbed paths where the lower line curves south and intersects the grid line, look under the hand of a skeleton by three ammunition boxes laying near four overlapping wrecked cars.

Appearances
SatCom Array NW-07c appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * It may be possible for an Enclave soldier to teleport from the ground and onto the scaffolding then become invisible.
 * The wastelanders may spawn alive, they will be friendly to the player and attack any Enclave left in the area. If they speak, they'll use a normal human voice and 'speech' instead of the usual ghoul rough voice.
 * The lone Enclave Soldier's body (encountered before Waters of Life) may disappear on death.
