Nahant Oceanological Society Piers & Wharfs

Description

The "Nahant Oceanological Society" iconNahant Oceanological Society, situated in the town of Nahant within the Commonwealth, was originally a marine research laboratory. However, it now serves as a breeding ground for mirelurks, with its oceanological instructor robots continuing their operations amidst the aquatic mutations.

Background / History

Before the Great War, the society focused on marine life preservation and was instrumental in identifying mutations in local crustaceans due to radioactive pollutants. Despite their efforts to raise awareness, their concerns were dismissed by authorities and media outlets. Additionally, the society uncovered environmental pollution in "Lake Quannapowitt" iconLake Quannapowitt, attributed to "Mass Fusion" iconMass Fusion, leading to a health crisis and subsequent legal disputes. During the war’s last week, much of the staff attended a symposium, leaving behind active robots and ongoing research tasks.

Layout

The complex comprises two buildings: the main society building and a research lab. The society building features a reception area, kitchen, research office, and second-floor office of Dr. Casey Reed. The research lab consists of catwalks and a flooded lower level, with access to amenities such as a chemistry station and power armor station.

  • Accessing Casey’s key requires navigating mirelurk egg clutches.
  • Terminal entries detail radiation mutations and corporate malpractice.
  • A hidden first aid box can be accessed through a damaged ceiling on the second floor.
  • Companions provide comments at various locations within the buildings.

Bugs

  • Interaction issues with building doors may occur, potentially blocking access to the Wasteland Survival Guide.
  • Glitches may affect the Nuka-Cola machine, causing bottles to be inaccessible.
  • Frame rate drops may occur in certain areas of the research lab.
  • The Expert-locked safe downstairs can be exploited for unlimited experience points.
