L.O.B. Enterprises

L.O.B. Enterprises is an explorable building in Fallout 3, located in Falls Church. It can be reached by traveling through Grayditch, then Marigold Metro Station. It is divided into three areas: the main area, East Wing and Enterprises Archives. The building continues to be occupied by military robots after it was invaded by federal security agencies.

The company itself was involved with China before the war, developing a new incendiary sidearm for them (Project Zhu-Rong). Rumors arose of course, and it came under government observation. As such, it's employees were required to carry low-grade military weapons at all times and received training in the event of a federal invasion or nuclear exchange.

In 2077, shortly after Project Zhu-Rong's completion, the building was invaded by military security forces primarily composed of robots. Most employees evacuated the building, forcing a lock down of the facility pending further investigation. However, the War broke out and the robots remained inside, securing the area.

Subject: Caps in Emails

I would like to remind everyone that, despite the impending Federal invasion, standard company policy is still in effect. Specifically, do not write emails in all caps. This style is offensive to your coworkers. Thank you for your cooperation.
