Puesta del Sol switching station

The Puesta del Sol switching station is a location in Sierra Madre's Puesta del Sol in 2281.

Layout
The entrance to the station has a large gathering of the Cloud in front of it so you will have to rush through. The door to the building is through the Cloud and to the left. Inside the building, the first room is filled with connection boards and terminals. An electric box is found on the western wall; three fuses are needed to restore the power (alternatively, one can jury rig it with a 60 Repair).

Into the hallway, there is a speaker hidden behind wires and girders, but graffiti clearly points it out. Another speaker is down the hall and down the stairs above a connection board. Again, it is pointed out by graffiti. This hallway leads into an expansive two-story basement which is plagued with a couple of protected speakers and the Cloud below. By going down the stairs, one can cross through the Cloud and go back upstairs. From here, on the west wall, there is an overlook with a terminal that shuts off the speakers. There is an unfortunate headless wastelander lying dead in front of the terminal.

To the east along the catwalks, there is an automated door on the north wall. Through it is another control room connecting to what looks like an employee break room. In the break room are several lockers containing samples of the toxic Cloud, a note about them and the remote maintenance terminal password. An automatic rifle leans against the lockers. The doorway leading out opens into another two-story basement. There are more catwalks facilitating movement throughout the room, but a turret off-centered in the room and a speaker on the north wall hinder it. A massive pipe on the ground, along with a staircase allows one to get back up to the catwalks. A Hard-locked door near the turret opens to a Very-Easy locked terminal which shuts the speaker off. On the south side of the room, Ennis's key is on a desk and further on is the remote maintenance terminal. The elevator behind the desk leads up into a room with a massive hole in the wall in the center of Puesta del Sol north.
