Wellington Underground
- "Good old Under. Hasn't changed since old George V."
- — Arthur Hastings on the Wellington Underground
The Wellington Underground is an expansive underground metro system which connects all of the holms together in Wellington Wells. The train used to run underneath the city, though it was discontinued after World War II.
The staircases that lead down to the metro have been boarded up, though nearby hatches are used as to enter the underground facilities.
History[]
Though the original purpose of the hatches are somewhat unknown, some appear to have originally been used as air raid shelters. However, after Dr. Faraday discovered Motilene, the undergrounds were repurposed into Motilene pipelines.
Council workers used to take care of the underground and make sure everything was in order, though because of their heavy Joy intake, most of them have left their stations.
Other underground facilities have been turned into headquarters for Motilene regulation or Jubilators.
Purpose[]
The underground is mainly used as safe houses for the player to rest up and plan their survival, the player can also use the hatches to safely travel from one shelter to another.
Some quests let the player explore what the underground has become, specifically I Sing the Body Electric and The Great Stink.
The underground station in Apple Holm that leads to the mainland has been turned into a motilene mine on the brink of collapse.
Trivia[]
- The logo has been modified to resemble a flower.
- Most of the hatches are located far beneath the game map.
- Two notable things are a piece of rotten meat in the Lud's Holm station and a rat in the St. George’s station which is classified as an enemy and will instantly kill the player when attacked even if invulnerability is activated. (Need confirmation if its still true)
- The Workers were nicknamed "Tunnel Rats". the name "Tunnel Rats" was from the underground Infantrymen from America, Australia, New Zealand and South Vietnam who performed underground search and destroy missions during the Vietnam War.
