The outpost has three outdoor floors. On the bottom floor, there are two shelves with numerous amounts of loot with a locked first aid kit (25 Lockpick).

The room has a pool table with various loot. Behind the pillar when walking in is a locked (50 Lockpick) gun case. It contains various loot. On the top floor, walking all the way down will lead to three ammunition boxes that can be found. One of which is locked (50 Lockpick). They contain various ammo types and amounts.

The outpost is occupied by up to 10 Talon Company mercs and a potential sentry bot or robobrain. They possess various heavy weapons and small arms. One of the mercenaries patrols just south of the library, carrying a missile launcher. A sentry turret can be found on the second floor, alongside another merc manning a sniper's nest.

* A copy of Nikola Tesla and You and a Stealth Boy on the topmost level, on a round table.
* Bottlecap mine, on the workbench near the turret control terminal, basement level.
==Notes==
* After the Enclave arrives in force into the region, approaching this camp may cause a Vertibird to do two bombing runs over the camp. Approaching the sewer located to the west of the outpost will cause another bombing.
* With the addition of Broken Steel, a water barrel can be found near the outpost between two bombed outbuildings. When the Lone Wanderer approaches the barrel, a group of three Talon Company mercs attack.
