Location
This is in the Oldtown area, accessed via The Vault.
This area counts as hard to enter, etc.
Resting here gives:
You do your best to hide yourself among the stacks, but the patrols are a constant feature.
You regain 10 hit points!
or, after the Records Office Evacuation:
You find a place among the stacks to crash out until the sounds of a patrol jolt you awake. Thank goodness their armor doesn't make them particularly stealthy.
You regain 10 hit points!
