Listening Post Bravo Bunkers

Description

Listening Post Bravo is a location situated in the Commonwealth, serving originally as a radio listening bunker for the U.S. Military. It was primarily designed to monitor radio frequencies for potential threats.

Background / History

Before the nuclear devastation, Sergeant J.P. Renkse was stationed at Listening Post Bravo, enduring a month-long stay. He reported peculiar occurrences such as hearing strange words over the radio and banging inside a locked-down elevator, which were dismissed as auditory hallucinations by his comrades. By 2287, under Paladin Danse’s orders, Scribe Haylen identified the post as a fallback point for Recon Squad Gladius, should they lose control of the Cambridge Police Station.

Layout

Exterior:
The entrance is guarded by two pre-War turrets and a Protectron. An Advanced-locked security gate secures access to a tool case and leveled ammo. Inside, a military skeleton lies next to a Master-level wall terminal, which, when activated, enables access to the bunker.

Interior:
The interior houses two potentially destroyed Protectrons, an offline turret, and workbenches for armor and weapons. A monitoring terminal allows activation and hacking of the turret. Upon entering, a yao guai from an adjacent cave is likely to attack. Further exploration reveals a breach into another room containing a steamer trunk.

Inhabitants

The primary inhabitants include yao guai and remnants of military personnel. Following the events of “Blind Betrayal,” Paladin Danse may make the bunker his new home, customizing it with additional fixtures.

Notes

• Listening Post Bravo becomes Paladin Danse’s residence if he survives “Blind Betrayal,” where he begins building and modifying the bunker.
• The underground cave houses a yao guai but lacks a direct entrance aside from the locked lift.

Trivia

• The terminal underground contains references to the Swedish heavy metal band Katatonia, with one log entry quoting lyrics from their album “Dead End Kings.” This reference was incorporated by quest designer Alan Nanes, who also included a Katatonia reference in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
