Listening Post Bravo

Listening Post Bravo is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.
==Background==
Originally a radio listening bunker for the U.S. Military, it was designed to monitor any threats coming in over the radio. At some point before the bombs fell, Sergeant J.P. Renkse was stationed there to listen to radio frequencies.Listening Post Bravo terminal entries; monitoring terminal, LP Bravo Monitoring Report 010 This soldier stated he had to stay down there for a month, and reported hearing strange words over the radio, and banging inside the elevator even though it was locked down where he was.Listening Post Bravo terminal entries; monitoring terminal, LP Bravo Monitoring Report 020 His comrades suggested he was suffering from auditory hallucinations.
By 2287, the post has been identified by Scribe Haylen (under Paladin Danse's orders) as a potential fallback point in the case that Recon Squad Gladius is unable to keep control of the Cambridge Police Station, their main base of operations in the Commonwealth. This information was limited to them, and the Brotherhood at large is unaware of this.The Sole Survivor: "All right, I'll hear him out."Scribe Haylen: " "(Scribe Haylen's dialogue)
==Layout==
===Exterior===
There is a fenced landing pad opposite the entrance. Protecting the entrance to the bunker are two pre-War turrets and a Protectron. Above the entrance is a duffle bag. Inside the entrance, an Advanced-locked security gate protects a tool case and leveled ammo. Behind the nearby desk is a military skeleton that's fallen out of a desk chair, and a Master-level wall terminal next to an inoperable elevator. The terminal will allow the elevator to be powered, and the Sole Survivor can descend into the bunker.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Collector's Edition p. 282: "[2.17] LISTENING POST BRAVOAn ex-military checkpoint to scavengers is like a porch lamp for bugs. It is currently devoid of human foes, with only robots active in this area. Below ground, the bunker abuts a Yao Guai cave."(Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Map)
===Interior===
There are two (possibly destroyed) Protectrons and an (offline) turret. There is also an armor workbench and a weapons workbench in the southeast corner. The turret can be brought online and hacked from the monitoring terminal on the desk near the center of the room. Once inside, a yao guai will likely charge into the room from an adjacent cave through a damaged wall. Beyond the hole in the wall is a pool of water, with the bones of at least five people and a suitcase below the surface; however, the suitcase cannot be accessed. Further into the cave is a breach into the other room of the listening post, where a steamer trunk can be found.
==Notable loot==
* Three grape Mentats - One on a console on the western wall of the first subterranean room, and two more on the console against the northern wall of the second room (accessed through the cave).
* Paladin Danse final entry - Holotape, on a console against the northern wall (if Danse commits suicide during Blind Betrayal.)
* Stealth Boy - Near the holotape. Only appears after ?
==Related quests==
* Blind Betrayal
* Pyromaniac
==Notes==
* This location will become Paladin Danse's new home if he is still alive after the conclusion of Blind Betrayal. He will quickly begin building additional fixtures, such as a bed and power armor station, within the bunker.
* Although there is a yao guai living in the underground cave with some bones and meat around, there isn't any form of entrance to the cave except via the locked lift.

==Behind the scenes==
There is a terminal located underground that references the Swedish heavy metal band Katatonia. One of the log entries mentions a call sign, "D-E-K," which is a reference to their album Dead End Kings. It also quotes some of the lyrics of the song Dead Letters from that album:
Vexation
Internal void
My dreams are getting darker and darker
And darker
This life before me
Its blood runs so still...
The lead vocalist of Katatonia and the character who wrote the terminal entries also share the same last name, Renkse. This reference was implemented by quest designer Alan Nanes, who also included a Katatonia reference in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.Alan Nanes on Twitter: "Well, didn't take long for the community to find my second nod to Katatonia. ;)"
