Sloan

Sloan is a small settlement supporting Quarry Junction mining crews, located east of Goodsprings.

Background
A mining camp located on Interstate 15, Sloan and Quarry Junction are the foundations of the Republic's construction efforts in the Mojave. Limestone mined at the quarry is shipped via rail to Boulder City, where the cement mixing plant produces concrete for the construction of bunkers and fortifications at Hoover Dam and along the Colorado River. Sloan has experienced a drastic slowdown in business when the Powder Gangers attacked it and stole the entire cache of dynamite. Without blasting sticks, the quarry fell silent and a pack of deathclaws moved in. Unable to wipe them out, the workers are on forced leave until someone can clear the infestation.

The morale of the workers is slowly deteriorating, as with a barely functioning generator and no prospects for relief, the workers are stuck doing nothing. At least Snuffles, the tame mole rat, is keeping them company.

Layout
Sloan is nested in a small ravine just off Interstate 15, with two guard posts on the Interstate itself, watching north for deathclaws and south for Powder Gangers. The shacks that make up the quarry camp are, south to north:
 * Worker barracks: Contains Dean's Electronics and Duck and Cover.
 * Mining office: Contains a donation box with bottle caps.
 * Machine shop: Contains a workbench, scrap metal, and Wonderglue.
 * Mess hall: Jas Wilkins says You Gotta Break Out a Few Eggs.

The player can help out around the town, by fixing its fusion generator, treating its mole rat pet, or clearing out Quarry Junction.

Near Sloan, there's a dead Bright Brotherhood member under the railway bridge just south. The workers stationed at the camp may also mention and add a marker for the Great Khan encampment in passing.

Notable loot

 * Mess hall
 * Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap on the table.
 * 4 strange meat pies.
 * Rose's wasteland omelet (You Gotta Break Out a Few Eggs).
 * Worker barracks
 * Dean's Electronics: On the shelf, left of the entrance.
 * Duck and Cover!: On the shelves in the back.
 * Mining office:
 * A large sum of caps in the two trunks upstairs.
