The Dome tunnels is the 4th sub-level of the Boulder Dome. This area of the dome is not accessible to the player until they are at least to Part 2 of the game. This level is toxic and irradiated; the only way to survive here is by wearing an Environmental Suit like the members of the infected scientist team are wearing.
