The ZAX Mainframe is the 5th sub-level of the Boulder Dome. Robobrains patrol these halls for intruders (high-security level). The robobrains are programmed to stop the player character or anyone else from contaminating either the ZAX supercomputer or its databanks. This means they will stop the player character if they are irradiated.

Layout[]

The layout description is in accordance with the lettered picture to the right:

  • A: Exit/Elevator - Leads back up to the Dome tunnels
  • B: ZAX AI - Where the player character goes if they want to have a personal conversation with ZAX
  • C: Emergency Generator - Needs to be repaired to do any major work on ZAX or the reactor (not functional)
  • D - R: Mainframe Databanks - Long blocks/rows of databanks, most are full to capacity; guarded by robobrains.

Appearances[]

The ZAX Mainframe did not appear nor was mentioned in any published games, but was going to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
