Abandoned gas station

The Abandoned Gas Station is a location in Deus Ex. It is located somewhere in central California, specifically somewhere between the Vandenberg Air Force Base and the ruins of Los Angeles, which was sunk during a severe earthquake in 2030. After liberating the X-51 at Vandenberg, JC is sent here to rescue Tiffany Savage, who was taken hostage by Majestic 12 during an attempt to steal Universal Constructor schematics from the MJ12 Sealab. Several MJ12 Troopers, MJ12 Commandos and a Man in black hold her inside a freezer beside the gas station, and if one knows that JC is nearby, they will kill Tiffany.

Two bums used to live here, but were ushered out by MJ12 and now live in the street below. One of the bums, Fred, will sell the player weapon mods and a rebreather, and if the player crawls into an empty Semi Tank near the station, they can find a sniper rifle, mods, rockets, forties and zyme.

Depending on the player's actions earlier in the game, Sandra Renton will also be there with the bums.

Trivia

 * The station's signage (presumably unchanged since the earthquake) lists prices around $4 per gallon. When the game was released, gas was still below $2, so those numbers must have seemed comically excessive. In real life 2023, gas already costs well over $5 in some parts of the United States.
 * A cut conversation exists in which when the player gets close to the MiB, the MiB claims that Jock's helicopter was spotted and they kill Tiffany.
 * The gas pumps can be blown up.
