The offices lie above the plant proper, and the bottling plant is shaped roughly like an T: a Quantum bottler, a Nuka-Mixer station and the remains of Sgt. The bottling plant is right next to the ride and can be entered either through the maintenance tunnels or by entering the aforementioned backstage exit at the end of the ride. The team was headed by Rex Meacham and included Kate Leavitt, Kevin Bennell, and Edmund Medford.įor in depth information on the World of Refreshment tour and ride, see the respective article. Here, the Beverageers turned their chemical expertise to creating new weapons of war for use by the military.
After Bradberton joined forces with the United States military, it was converted into a weapons development plant, powered by an individual reactor. Underneath the bottling factory, however, a secret laboratory originally used by the Nuka-Cola Beverageers to develop new variants of Nuka-Cola lies sealed off until the power is returned to Nuka-World. Even their support, in the form of pre-War RobCo Assaultrons, didn't help. They made a heroic last stand by the Quantum bottler, wiped out by the lurks.
The Nukalurks knew how to use their natural defenses to their advantage and the attempt to set up a camp in Nuka-World failed, as the hordes of Nukalurks gradually wore down the Gunners through attrition. This is why, when Sergeant Lanier's team entered the plant on a recon mission for the Gunners, they found themselves badly outmatched. Over the generations, they grew faster, tougher, and deadlier than their competitors. Of course, as time went on after the nuclear war depopulated the bottling plant, the machinery started to deteriorate and the actual Nuka-Cola Quantum leeched into the groundwater, contaminating the ground and exposing the local mirelurk population to the wonders of Nuka-Cola. In October 2077, the river was dyed a fluorescent blue to make it appear to be Nuka-Cola Quantum and promote the newest, hottest beverage in the Nuka-Cola catalog. The standard bottling facilities were augmented with a water ride, dumping hundreds of gallons of processed Nuka-Cola to form a regular river.
This industrial facility has been converted by the Nuka-Cola Corporation to serve as an attraction on top of its normal duties.
