This slightly irradiated area has signs of
Anthills dotted across the ground. There are
two hillocks, one at the area's north end
and one at the south end, each leading to
a hive. Two Ant factions-the Invaders and
the Foragers-are battling for Wasteland
supremacy on a tiny scale. As the Invaders
are large, fearsome, and vicious, they are
about to kill off their weedier brethren.
SHALEBRIDGE HILL
After you locate this surface Anthill,
descend into a steep and compact series
of natural caverns, where the Soldier Ants
make their home.

of Chems, Shotgun Ammo, and items that
are with the skeletal remains around the
room's perimeter.

are the Foragers, who live to the southwest,

This submerged corpse carries a Skill
Book that's otherwise easy to overlook.
2 Cluster of Ant Eggs
You 're asked to inject this with a Stimpak
to stimulate Forager Pupae growth (if
your Medicine or Science skills are high
enough). Wait 24 hours, then return here;
the Pupae have grown into a much larger
mutation. Doctor Lesko would be proud!
Harvest the potent Ant Nectar from deposits
