Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06

Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia.
==Background==
A coal power plant originally built in the 1970s to provide power for the western parts of Appalachia,Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Receptionist's terminal the plant gained a new lease on life as Poseidon Energy made a deal with Atomic Mining Services to retrofit the plant. Instead of depleting increasingly expensive coal, the plant would burn ultracite to generate power, using the old coal infrastructure and turbines.Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Turbine hall terminal The corporate influence of these two companies and their close ties to the federal government resulted in intense controls and oversight, as well as access to military assets, should the need arise.Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Decontamination control terminal 
The switchover coincided with an increasingly hostile approach to workers at the plant, culminating in a walkout. The workers wanted a contract that gave them job security and was supported by the Associated Miner's Union under its steward, Jacob Hargraves. Although the plant manager, Renee Hargraves, was sympathetic to their cause, the head of security, Brent Olson, was not. As per company policy, all workers who joined the picket outside the plant were fired on the spot, giving Olsen the opportunity to replace them with automated workers. To prevent the plant manager from interfering, he declared a state of emergency and a Class-III lockdown, putting him in charge of the plant until the strike was dealt with, having Renee locked in her office for the interim.Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Transcript: Manager's Recording
Olson's plan relied on using the military to break up the strike.Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Protest Security Plan The National Guard arrived with heavy tanks, APCs, and a HalluciGen, Inc. riot control gas. The plan was to gas the picketing strikers, making them turn on each other, turning a strike into a deadly riot that could then be leveraged to further weaken organized labor. However, the gas impacted both protestors and soldiers alike, causing significant violence.Poseidon security director's recording Jacob Hargraves described the violence unfolding around him and the effect the gas had on his senses.Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Renee Renee, unable to stop the events from occurring, could only watch from inside the plant.Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Jacob The older part of the plant didn't have security doors installed, and Olson found himself cornered in the basement, where he recorded a holotape of his own, claiming he was merely following orders coming all the way from the top of the government and had evidence on his terminal to back it up.
The automated power plant continued to operate after the Great War until damage accumulated and forced a shutdown. Olson's terminal was also remotely reset, erasing all evidence of military and government involvement save for his own holotape.Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 terminal entries; Archives Deleted By 2103, the southern expansion cooling tower had been fortified as a Raider encampment by Lev's crew.
==Layout==
Located at the northeastern end of Charleston, the Poseidon nuclear power plant is a large structure, with two large cooling towers to the northeast and another expansion to the southwest, surrounding the main building. The parking lot to the south and the main gates border the transformer yard, which is a claimable workshop. Just on the other side of the road is a protest camp.
The exterior has a number of locations to inspect. Each cooling tower has a maintenance hut, with a collectible spawn nearby (western tower has a Vault-Tec bobblehead outside the doors, the eastern tower with a magazine in the hut). The roof is worth checking out as well for a number of maintenance huts and gantries that contain loot spawns, collectibles, and a locked safe. 
There are four possible ways of entry into Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06, the door to the southern expansion, the main doors to the plant floor (which require level 3 hacking or Poseidon plant access codes which can be obtained by registering at a security terminal once inside) and a door in each of the cooling towers, which can be accessed by entering from below and climbing the catwalks to the top (entering the cooling towers when the power plant has been powered up will cause constant damage to the player's health). 
Upon entering the southern expansion of the plant there is a security office directly in front and a staircase next to it on the right leading down to the cooling level of the plant, a number of Scorched spawn here and it is best to travel with a partner. Upon entering the first room there is a large doorway on the center-right which leads to the decaying ruins of a cooling tower, the floor is flooded with radioactive water and destroyed catwalks are scattered everywhere, on the left side of the entrance there is a broken catwalk which acts as a ramp to the control pod in the center of the tower, going through here straight ahead will lead to another catwalk which leads through a tunnel towards a door that leads to the basement.
==Connections==
In the control room, there is a map that points to locations connected to the plant's electric grid.

==Notable loot==
; Holotapes and notes
* Poseidon security director's recording - Holotape, found in the basement areas of the plant on a desk next to the hazmat terminal.
* Apologies to Lou - Holotape, inside the South Expansion, on a cabinet in a separate room to the northwest, behind the double doors on the same level as Lev's room. The doors are most easily accessed by the nearby broken piping.
* Bless y'all's hearts - Holotape, on a small table in the topmost area of the South Expansion that appears during From Russia With Lev.
* Blood Eagle oath - Holotape, near the entrance inside the South Expansion.
* Rocco and Lev's deal - Holotape, on a desk in the South Expansion room where Lev is hiding. The room can only be unlocked during From Russia With Lev.
; Collectibles
* Five potential Vault-Tec bobbleheads:
** At the end of the giant T-shaped horizontal pipes that enter the first of the two cooling towers, near a chem-addled skeleton; access via the gantry stairs on the northeast side of the main building.
** On the roof of the plant at the end of the highest scaffolding, next to a minigun and red steamer trunk.
** On the west corner of the expansion cooling tower roof, by a skeleton, slumped against the tower with chems scattered about. Enhanced jumping may be required to reach this location. 
** In the largest pool in the fuel storage chamber, on an underwater girder (interior).
** In the reactor room, on the south side girders (with cap stashes), supporting the top of the reactor near the ceiling; carefully jump from the computer bank on the highest gantry to eventually reach it.
* Eight potential magazines:
** On the northeastern gantry platforms and stairs facing the cooling towers, inside the small blue maintenance hut, on the small filing cabinet near the metal desk with the broken terminal.
** On the northwestern edge of the main plant roof’s highest level, behind the smokestacks, propped up against the radio by the teddy bears' picnic scene.
** On the main plant roof just above the front entrance, on the yellow diagnostic cart.
** In the center of cooling tower #1, inside the maintenance room, between the consoles and the machinery.
** In the locker room near the reactor room, behind some boxes.
** In the basement locker room, on the lowest shelf of the metal shelves near the overturned cart.
** In the plant manager's office, near the windows overlooking the turbine hall, on the desk. 
** In the reactor room, on the top-most gantry platform, on the table.
