Gecko

« Just a bunch of ghouls clinging tenaciously to the ass-end of life. » - Wooz, Gecko's bartender.

Gecko's sign as seen in Fallout 2, featuring a warning to the power plant's unauthorized visitors.

History

Gecko was built upon the ashes of Gecko City, a pre-war town. It seems the main town inhabitants are ghouls who escaped from Necropolis when the Master decided to wipe the town. The ghouls fixed the power plant, and tried to trade with and visit the nearest city, Vault City, but unfortunately their neighbors decided to shoot them on sight. Gecko's ghouls then created a power plan that could provide energy to all nearby cities, but due to their ghoul status, they haven't been able to negotiate anything. They have a leader, Harold, who is helped by the town's doctor, Lenny.

Description

The power plant, belonging to Poseidon Oil.
