Hornwright Industrial Headquarters

The Hornwright Industrial Headquarters is a location in the Appalachian city of Charleston . It is the corporate headquarters of the pre-War Hornwright Industrial company.
==Background==
Located in downtown Charleston, this skyscraper was the heart of the Hornwright Industrial mining company.Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Atlas of Appalachia p.340: "79. HORNWRIGHT INDUSTRIAL HEADQUARTERSThough not lurching at an alarming angle like the brick tenement block adjacent to this location, the Hornwright tower is still in a frightful state of disrepair. Though you can enter the place via some treacherous tenement block maneuvering (from the Charleston Herald structure), and you can enter the structure from the fifth level, it's easier to work your way up from the ground floor, via the south facing entrance.Inside, the Hornwrights have thoughtfully labeled each level with a number so you know where you are. Enter the passageway between the walls on Level 03 or 04 to reach the otherwise-inaccessible office on Level 05. Or, with the appropriate ID card, you can use the lobby elevator to reach the executive level. Once you shut down the laser grids, you can reach the sublevel basement."(Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Atlas of Appalachia)
==Layout==
The skyscraper is divided into nine distinct levels, including, from bottom to top, a sub-basement, basement, ground level, floors 1-5, and the executive suite (floor 6) on top. Floors 2-5 overlook a single central chamber, with floor 1 on the bottom. A stairwell links most levels together. 
===Ground floor===
The entrance hall constitutes the headquarters' lobby and has a mezzanine, decorated with Auto-Miners. The room has a reception desk and terminal, together with a Nuka-Cola machine in the southern room and pools of radioactive water. On the opposite end, up the stairs, are the company archives, the information of which has been corrupted and is inaccessible. The southeastern corner has the stairwell. Behind the reception desk is the building's main elevator, which can be used to reach the sixth floor.
===Second floor===
The second floor contains the technology support department with Jeffery Vaccarro's terminal and the senior executive exam answer key in his desk. The adjacent room contains a chemistry station.
===Third floor===
The third floor has the human resources department on the southern face, right next to the candidate testing room for the senior executive exam. On the opposite side, there is a research area which holds an ignition core reactor, the same engine which the Rockhound uses.
===Fourth floor===
The fourth floor contains a conference room and Penelope Hornwright's senior operations executive office. Penelope's office has a tinker's workbench, and her desk terminal contains a message to Yvette, which has the password for the automated hiring system in the hiring department. Behind Penelope's desk is her lab terminal, holding information about company projects.
===Fifth floor===
The fifth floor contains two offices, which can be accessed from the floor below. One of them belonged to the Hornwright executive R. Vargas. The safe in his office requires a key, which is located on the bottom right shelf of his desk. There is an exit to a destroyed part of the building, which is adjacent to a residential building's top floor. It contains ruined wastelander dwellings and blocked offices, accessible through the ruined technical passage on the western face of the building.
===Sixth floor===
The top floor, floor 6, also known as the executive offices, can be accessed through the lobby elevator after acquiring the senior executive keycard during the quest The Motherlode. The top floor contains a lobby in the middle with the CEO office of Daniel Hornwright on the northern end and the development lab on the opposite end. There is a glass floor in this room, through which the lobby and the rest of the floors can be seen.
The lab was the heart of Hornwright's development operations, and as such it has the external connection system with the Motherlode Project. Interacting with the system will result in meeting one of the Motherlode autonomous mining robots. The room also has a chemistry station.
Daniel Hornwright's CEO office has his operational terminal, and the room includes another elevator which, with the proper identification, can be used to access the sub-basement and the Cave.
===Basement===
The sub-basement level, accessed by the elevator in the executive offices, is the location of the Motherlode departmentMotherlode Dept. Safe in which all operations involving the Motherlode robots were carried out. It also includes a weapons workbench and possibly a power armor frame.
The area known as the Cave is the lowest level of the building, located below the sub-basement level, also accessed by the executive office's elevator. This area was used to test the Motherlode and its interactions with the environment. The Division of Wealth quest takes place here. As one enters from the east, there is a reception desk where Hijack is encountered. To the left (south), through either security door, is the Motherlode. On the other (west) side of the main room is a door. If one goes through the door and down the stairs, a sign reads "Enter here." This leads through a maze to recalibrate the Motherlode. Completing the maze leads back into the reception area.
