An old Garrahan Mining Co. mine, shaft Beatrice was sealed following an underground fire that could not be extinguished by conventional means. Following the Great War and emergence of the scorched, it was turned into a containment area and later the final test site for the Fire Breathers, where they proved whether they had the skills and tenacity needed of the Responders' most elite unit.
Points of interest[]
The mining shaft is relatively straightforward. The staging area contains a locked safe on the platform above the office, a first aid kit, and a terminal that opens the security gate into the mine. Face protection (gas mask, Fire Breather helmet, power armor helmet etc.) is necessary for surviving in the toxic environment of the mine. The ground is also rife with burning fissures, so caution is advised.
Down the first tunnel is a small locker room and control hut with a magazine spawn point (northern side, bottom level) and an armor station.
The tunnel then branches out, before coming back together at the end cavern. The left-hand branch leads to conveyor machinery and a bobblehead at the end of the right-hand tunnel, and also contains a crack filled with burning coal veins. Beyond the crack is the ground floor of the mine.
The right-hand tunnel contains a black titanium spawn point and leads to a locked security cage (level 1) with a chemistry station, and a stairwell that leads down into the mine facilities.
The bottom facilities fill the cavern and contain three bobblehead and magazine spawn points, a chemistry station, a tinker's workbench, and a weapon workbench.
The left-hand tunnel contains an ultracite spawn point at the end of the small tunnel with conveyor belts.
