Next to Gibson Scrap Yard

Just west of the Gibson scrap yard, past the power lines along the railroad tracks north of Novac, stands a run-down shack. Before Operation: Sunburst, Father Elijah used its comm station terminal to send technology leads and private messages to a few trusted Brotherhood members, Veronica among them. During I Could Make You Care she brings the Courier here to pull up his research.

The inside tells a grim story of its own. A skeleton lies on the bed, a butter knife is stuck in the TV and a bloody lawn mower blade lies on the floor. Above the skeleton a finger is pinned to the wall by a machete, and both fall if you brush past. Bottles of alcohol and chems such as Med-X, Jet and Mentats lie around, with two doses of Psycho behind the bookshelf.

How to get there

From the Gibson Scrap Yard, walk west past the power lines along the railroad tracks.

Notable loot

  • Finger (near the skeleton)
  • Two doses of Psycho (behind the bookshelf on the north wall)
  • Med-X, Jet and Mentats (scattered around)

Tips
