Горнодобывающая компания хорнрайт индастриал фоллаут 76

Не всегда работает принцип пришел, увидел, победил. Чтобы пройти квест Золотая жила в Fallout 76 придется хорошенько подумать головой. В данной статье вы узнаете о терминале Пенни, как пройти тест и получить пропуск топ-менеджера, а также где найти ремонтный маячок.

Что делать?

Как и многие квесты начинаются с исследования многоэтажного здания, в котором вам предстоит первым делом отыскать нужную комнату и терминал. Для этого необходимо подняться на четвертый уровень, найти его не составит труда, так как все этажи здания пронумерованы. После того как вы подниметесь, найдите комнату с терминалом (она слева) и внимательно прочтите записи на нем.

После изучения всех записей вернитесь на третий уровень и найти терминал для найма сотрудников — там вам предложат пройти тест на должность топ-менеджера. При удачной сдачи теста, вы получите пропуск топ-менеджера, который потребуется позже. Чтобы долго не мучиться с прохождением теста, используйте данные виды ответов:

1. «Свалить вину за происшедшее на агитаторов в местных профсоюзах».
2. «Шантажировать их, чтобы получить больше информации».
3. «Собрать компромат на политика, чтобы сбить цены».
4. «Предложу им прибыльную работу, чтобы раскрыть их личности».
5. «Передам информацию о предложении команде корпоративной разведки Хорнрайта».

Как видите, в компании знали толк в правильном руководстве. Хотя Fallout во многом пародирует и высмеивает недостатки нашего мира, в данных ответах можно увидеть лицо некоторые реальных руководителей…

Следующим шагом после сдачи теста, вы должны проследовать в соседнюю комнату, в которой находится принтер и забрать свой пропуск. После спускаемся на первый уровень и направляемся к лифту. При помощи пропуска запускаем лифт, который доставляет вас на этаж директора. Выйдя из лифта, поговорите с системой внешнего подключения. После этого идтие к исследовательскому терминалу, на котором прочитайтечетвертую запись, в которой находится нужный вам код.

После заберите ремонтный маячок, снова поговорить с системой внешнего подключения. Далее проходим в комнату где ранее нам преграждали путь лазеры. Проходим в лифт и спускаемся вниз. Устанавливаем ремонтный маячок на нужное место и ждем какое-то время. После чего получаете заслуженную награду за прохождение квеста Золотая жила в Fallout 76.

В Fallout 76 Золотая жила представляет собой один из квестов, в которых нужно хорошенько подумать головой, а не ворваться в локацию с железным дрыном наперевес и раздать на орехи всему, что подаёт признаки жизни. Причём написан он с долей здоровой сатиры — авторы явно старались высмеять современный мир, способы управления компанией и всё то, что, к сожалению, существует в реальности. И у их получилось! Поэтому, чтобы лишний раз улыбнуться, мы рекомендуем внимательно читать все тексты в ходе прохождения, несмотря на то, что мы укажем для вас все правильные ответы.

Для начала нужно забраться на 4-й этаж здания и найти там терминал, с которым и предстоит взаимодействовать. На этажах присутствуют таблички, так что заблудиться у вас вряд ли получится. Слева расположена комната, в которой и стоит искомый терминал, и для начала нужно ознакомиться с хранящимися в нём записями. 

Следующий шаг: спуститесь этажом ниже, на третий уровень, и найдите другой терминал, некогда использовавшийся службой найма сотрудников. Видимо, компания давным-давно упразднила должность рекрутера, и вместо собеседования соискателям предлагалось сдать тест. Один из них и предстоит пройти нам, и в случае успешного его завершения вы получите должность топ-менеджера, а заодно и пропуск, который вам еще потребуется в дальнейшем. Вот список правильных ответов на вопросы:

• Свалить вину за происшедшее на агитаторов в местных профсоюзах.
• Шантажировать их, чтобы получить больше информации.
• Собрать компромат на политика, чтобы сбить цены.
• Предложу им прибыльную работу, чтобы раскрыть их личности.
• Передам информацию о предложении команде корпоративной разведки Хорнрайта.

Не напоминает реальный мир, нет? Сатира из квеста «Золотая жила», одного из самых забавных в Фоллаут 76, так и сочится. Как бы то ни было, после теста загляните в соседнюю комнату и заберите пропуск. Заполучив его, спускайтесь на первый этаж и идите к лифту. Он затребует пропуск, который у вас теперь есть, и, получив его, доставит вас на особый уровень, где некогда располагался кабинет директора. Побеседовав с системой, воспользуйтесь исследовательским терминалом и получите код. Забрав маячок и снова пообщавшись с системой, идите в помещение, куда раньше не получалось попасть из-за лазеров. После установки маячка на нужное место останется только пождать, и квест будет засчитан.

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.^[1]

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 headquarter’s 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 oppossite site 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 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 chemistry station.

Daniel Hornwright’s CEO office has his operational terminal, and the room includes another elevator which, with the proper identification, one can 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 Department^[2] in which all operations involving the Motherlode robots were carried. It also includes a weapons workbench and possibly 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.

Hornwright Industrial Mining Company (HWI) was an Appalachian mining company before the Great War.

Background

The Garrahans and Hornwrights were the two major families in charge of Appalachia’s mining industry. They owned lavish estates in the mountains overlooking their precious mines.^[1]

Automation drive

Hornwright Industrial Mining Company was a staple of Appalachian mining since the first pick was driven into its soil — and under Daniel Hornwright’s leadership, it would be something far more. Embracing Vault-Tec’s mantra of preparing for the future, Daniel decided to bring his father’s company into it, thoroughly misinterpreting his father’s words that «products are only as good as the people who build them». While Daniel’s father emphasized the human component, his son took it to mean that the products were only as strong and reliable as the workforce. As such, the moment he took control of the company, he went full throttle on every automated worker program the company had. Without human workers, the company would have no more sick days, no more vacations, no more maternity leaves and sudden deaths in the family. He could reduce the number of people needed to run the company, yet maintain the same output and quality control. The flagship Auto-Miner program was the beginning of an ambitious program to fully automate Hornwright before 2100, becoming the strongest and wealthiest company the world’s ever seen.^[2] The Rockhound, activated in 2070 atop Mount Blair, may have put Hornwright in the spotlights, but it was the Auto-Miners that would build its legacy.^[3]

Hornwright started by sacking miners who worked in Hornwright mines, replacing them with Auto-Miners, and continued with a series of pilot projects to see what other molecules of the human element he could banish from the mining process. This included leaning on contacts in the Department of Defense, which provided him with the plans for VB-01 Vertibirds. The vertical take-off craft, outfitted for long distance flight, air-to-ground combat and reconnaissance could become a platform to carry an Auto-Miner brain and mineral detection system and speed up the pace of mineral surveying by a factor of twenty.^[4]

Naturally, his stubborn pursuit of efficiency and profit, Hornwright neglected the impact his work would have on the environment. The Rockhound installed atop Mount Blair has polluted the entire region of Appalachia, devastating the ecosystem and filling the air with soot and ash from the strip-mined mountaintop. As any recovery measures would cut into his bottom line, the CEO refused to entertain such measures. However, when the Clear Skies Alliance approached the company with a proposal for shared ownership of air scrubbers that would purify the air, the CEO was interested. Not because of genuine concern for the environment — the millions of dollars of development costs were too high a price to pay for breathable air — but because of the potential to repurpose the scrubbers to ionize particles and convert them into usable minerals. These secret «ash forges», as Hornwright marketing called them were set up in the Ash Heap to test them in practice and appease the Clear Skies Alliance.^[5] To make things worse, in order to feed the ash forges with input, Hornwright deliberately ignited the old, toxic mines around Mount Blair to fill the air with mineral-rich soot. Even Hornwright’s own scientists were horrified at such wanton disregard for the environment.^[6]

This was one of several signs that Daniel Hornwright’s mental state was deteriorating. The biggest hit to his sanity and the company’s profile came with the Motherlode Project. Although originally intended to be merely an automated, weak AI platform, the project took on a new meaning for the CEO after the death of Evelyn Hornwright from cancer. The Motherlode became Hornwright’s obsession, turning into a single-minded pursuit of its completion to prove to his late wife that her death wasn’t the end of him — it was just the beginning. Naturally, the scientists working on the project did not appreciate the obsessive level of scrutiny and micro-management that followed. Brigada, head researcher on the Motherlode project, was eventually fired for his resistance to the CEO and replaced with ^[7] Hornwright’s obsession turned into casual cruelty when he decided to spin the death of Bill Breyer, an investigative reporter from the Charleston Herald, to advance his automation agenda. Breyer trespassed on a Motherlode test site to find out the truth about the project and was promptly shot by security guards, who mistook his recorder for a firearm. To Hornwright, this was merely a PR opportunity.^[8]

Of course, such a philosophy led to him trampling over people and eventually, the miners had enough. When AMS forced families out of the town of Welch in early October, the disenfranchised workers of Appalachia rose up against the corporations, leading to riots across Appalachia. The fighting was particularly severe around Charleston and The Ash Heap. On Mount Blair, miners seized the Rockhound, a despised symbol of automation. For eight days, the miners held out, striking and demanding a right to work, until the National Guard sent in specially-designed fleets of combat robots — Strikebreakers, commissioned by Hornwright in the wake of the mine protests — to eliminate off the rioters. Echoing the events of the battle of Mount Blair over 150 years earlier, the Strikebreakers took out the miners and returned control of the Rockhound to Hornwright.^[9] The remaining human staff of Hornwright Industrial was disturbed by the violence and the brutality of the response, but to the CEO it was just evidence of the need to expedite automation. With the Motherlode project operating at peak capacity and exceeding expectations (despite Daniel’s interference), the company would soon be able to remain in operation with a staff of just twenty. However, there was one item that still needed attending to.^[10]

Man vs. Machine

The Garrahans needed to be humiliated in order to demonstrate that the Machine reigns supreme in Appalachia. As luck would have it, Hornwright was granted a golden opportunity to prove his philosophy to the world in April 2077. Vivian Garrahan, CEO of Garrahan Mining Company decided to play all-in and challenge Hornwright to a duel where her Excavator power armor and Auto-Miners would compete to mine the most ore in a pre-set amount of time. The challenge was a calculated risk, aiming to raise the profile of the company and the project, while securing lucrative contracts in the increasingly automation-obsessed Appalachia.^[11]

The challenge turned out to be the decisive battle of the Hornwright/Garrahan war: 24 hours of non-stop mining.^[12] The challenge started on October 18 and lasted the whole day, with Auto-Miners and Excavators effortlessly chewing through the rock at their designated sites. They were a match for one another and by the end of the day, Hornwright won by a thin margin, just 1.85 tons — less than a single truckload — and stood supreme. Hornwright Mining seized on this tenuous victory as an example of machine’s superiority to man.^[13] What they did not mention is the fact that Hornwright’s executives did not play fairly and intervened to ensure that Garrahan would fail. In the end, they succeeded, making Auto-Miners the talk of the region and sending Garrahan’s stock into free-fall, making them ripe for a takeover… And folding the groundbreaking Excavator project into the Auto-Miners, creating a fleet of indestructible, autonomous miners capable of pin-pointing mineral deposits with no oversight from human operators.^[14]

Hornwright’s ambitions did not end there. Daniel Hornwright was one of the biggest supporters of Ballot Measure 6 in Appalachia, which would have increased funds allocated for automation and a mandate to eliminate human employment within a decade. Naturally, that also meant working closely with Governor Evans, both officially and unofficially, providing political and financial backing in return for lucrative contracts for automation once the Ballot Measure passed. The CEO was sure that a local concern rather than a national, impersonal conglomerate like RobCo would help make the measure palatable to the Appalachians.^[15] The sheer volume of contributions eventually put the governor on Hornwright payroll.^[16]

As with the Excavator, Daniel Hornwright also took steps to eliminate any potential obstacles. Senator Sam Blackwell, an outspoken and charismatic opponent of the measure, was targeted by a goon hired by Hornwright. Threats made against his family forced the senator into hiding, also weakening the Free States in a time of need. Hornwright didn’t care — he was just happy to see the senator out of the picture, at least until the Great War erased all of his plans.^[17]

Corporate affairs

Daniel Hornwright turned a company that focused on its workforce into a brutal, almost completely automated vehicle for generating revenue. His hard anti-union, anti-regulation stance translated into senior executive recruiting practices that emphasized predatory corporate practices, corruption, and utmost loyalty to the company.^[18] Daniel effectively forced his HR department to implement his requirements, threatening them with immediate dismissal if they refused to cooperate.^[19] As expected, the company took a hardline stance against protesting miners. When Penelope Hornwright expressed reservations about hiring human strike breakers, CEO Hornwright commissioned RobCo Industries to create a fleet of dedicated police robots capable of dealing with protesters without the interference of conscience. These Strikebreakers became an increasingly common sight on the slopes of Mount Blair in the days leading up to the Great War.^[20]

Environmental impact was of no concern for the company, as long as their actions generated immediate profits. Perhaps the most notable example of this horrifying philosophy was the deployment of Clear Skies Alliance air purifiers around Mount Blair… Repurposed as ash forges to harvest minerals from the polluted air. To maximize their efficiency, Hornwright set the old, toxic mines around the mountain on fire to fill the air with smoke and soot that the forges could then harvest, horrifying the team that worked to create them.^[6] Similarly, the company cared little for the economic impact it had on local communities. It ruthlessly exploited the vulnerable Monongah, It bought the rights to the mine in the struggling town for cash in April 2075, proceeding to strip-mine every remaining bit of ore from its veins for the next two years.^[21] Although the city experienced a large monetary surplus by April 2076, thanks to royalty payments,^[22] it effectively imploded when the mine was exhausted in July 2076 and Hornwright practically disappeared overnight.^[23][24] By September 2077, the town was bankrupt and had to suspend all public programs while scrambling to find a source of financial relief.^[25]

While hostile to Garrahan, HWI enjoyed lucrative contracts with Atomic Mining Services. AMS was a reliable market for Auto-Miners, which were cheaper and faster than anything AMS could create. Penelope Hornwright’s history with AMS was a major factor contributing to the decision, as she lobbied her father and AMS intensely to form the partnership, combining the efforts of two of Appalachia’s most prominent mining companies.^[26]

Ironically, while Daniel Hornwright worked to destroy the Garrahans and assimilate them into his empire, his daughter was in love with Bryce Garrahan. The two star-crossed lovers could have ushered in a peaceful merger and a new future of Appalachia, were it not for their parents’ hostility and conflict.^[27][28]
