Techatticup Mine

Techatticup Mine is a location in the Mojave Wasteland .
==Background==
Prior to the Great War, the area, formerly called Knob Hill Mine, was both an active industrial mine and a tourist attraction, though evidence exists that it was also used as a storage location for barrels full of radioactive debris.
Circa 2281, the long-abandoned mine was taken over by members of Caesar's Legion under the command of the decanus Alexus as a secret prison where they bring captured NCR troopers; recently a group was captured but one of their members, Pvt. Renolds escaped and looked for help to save his comrades.Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p. 419: "6.08 Techatticup MineAlso known colloquially in the past as Knob Hill Mine, this hole in the ground is at the turnaround at the end of the road from Nelson, and seems to have been a dumping ground, or storage area for radioactive waste that the Legion now occasionally utilities. Along the road, you may meet Private Renolds, talking about "that bastard" Alexus; a Legion commander who's take his squad hostage. This begins Side Quest: Anywhere I Wander, but you can free (or ignore or kill) the NCR in here without running into Renolds. Check the Hollowed-Out Rock at the entrance before proceeding."(Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition Tour of the Mojave Wasteland)
==Layout==
Situated southeast of Nelson, following a road that turns south from the one going into the town, there is a hollowed-out rock directly to the right of the mine's entrance. The rock is marked with two white rectangles. After a short winding path from the entrance, there is a small chamber containing Legion troops, and paths leading left and right. 
The left path leads down to a large, irradiated chamber with a group of eight Legion members including their leader Alexus, who holds the key to the storage areas down the righthand path containing NCR prisoners. The chamber centers around a large concentration of irradiated barrels and over a dozen skeletons lying among the waste.
Farther down the path, there are two Average locked gates with various weapons and armor within. Taking the righthand side path leads to a small chamber with four Legion troops and two locked storage areas, each containing a tied-up NCR soldier and some loot.
