Relay tower HG-B7-09

Relay tower HG-B7-09 is a location in the Ash Heap region of Appalachia.

Background
The area surrounding the relay tower experienced multiple earthquakes before the Great War, as a direct result of the mining operations in the Ash Heap. According to Gordy, this meant the employees at the station had to do four to five times more work than the other towers from putting things back together.

Layout
This is a standard radio relay tower with laser turrets and a number of other robots, including protectrons and a robobrain, guarding its perimeter and its two entrances to the northeast and northwest. A crane is parked outside the western corner of the building carrying some construction supplies and a toolbox. On top of the roof is a skeleton lying next to a paint can, a large toolbox and some welding goggles. A raider thief may be found here as well.

Inside the relay tower is a blue system relay terminal which US government supply requisition holotapes can be loaded into. Along its northeastern wall is a set of lockers and a locked ammo box (Picklock 0) and fold-down cots line its southeastern wall. A maintenance personnel terminal sits next to a desk fan, on a desk in the middle of the room.

A short distance to the east of this location is an aluminum deposit that can be mined or harvested by placing a C.A.M.P. and building an extractor.
