Old Olney

Old Olney (Reference Id=7e8bf) is a run down and derelict town in the Capital Wasteland, the town on first sight is completely overrun by deathclaws.


 * If you came here in search of Nuka-Cola Quantum, you will find a note next to the skeleton of Carl Wallace, in front of the Fire House, giving a report that the driver of the truck shipment has crashed just east of the town, next to a gas station. Traveling east, in the direction of Chaste Acres Dairy Farm you will spot the crashed truck not far from the town and several Nuka-Cola Quantums.

Location
Old Olney is located just south-east of Vault 92; it is noticeable on the Pip-Boy 3000; as it is located within a white square along with Vault 92.

You can gain information on the location of Old Olney from the Nuka-Cola Factory located on one of the final terminals. Upon access you will obtain a note called the Quantum Distribution Details; your Pip-Boy 3000 will thereupon be updated with several locations, one being Old Olney.

History
No apparent history is known of Old Olney it appears to be another town completely devastated by the Nuclear Holocaust; however it does appear that the town did have some inhabitants, but due to the deathclaw invasion all citizens accounted for are dead.

Inhabitants
 is infested by Deathclaws.



Olney Sewers

 * In a room in the north, not far from the entrance from the "trap", is a terminal that activates a protectron for a "Maintenance Routine". The protectron will detect "critter of unusual size" and run an "extermination program". There is also a Utility Worker ID in this room (next to a skeleton), so that the robot keeps being friendly to you. The usefulness of the protectron is something to wish for though.

Notable Loot in Olney Sewers

 * Nuka Cola Quantum along with a handy Missile Launcher and Fat Man in a room just east of the southern entrance (A). Also contains two Stealth Boy in two of the Safes. Watch out for a Deathclaw.
 * In the room next to (southwest of) this, a Scoped .44 Magnum and a Bottlecap Mine (and a Workbench).
 * Dead Brother of Steel Initiate with a Prototype Medic Power Armor in a partly collapsed tunnel (B).
 * In the end of the southern caverns, a Duck and Cover! under/next to a skeleton (C).
 * A Mini Nuke in a Very Hard locked closet (D).

Note

 * Dave from the Republic of Dave will travel to Old Olney should he lose the The Election of Dave. With the Deathclaw infestation, he almost certainly dies unless otherwise assisted by the player.


 * If Dave actually survives the trip, he will camp out in the middle of the town, next to some trash bins and dead raiders. Dave will threaten you to leave if you attempt to talk to him; if you do this three times he will open fire on you. Killing him makes the remaining citizens of the RoD hostile against you and you will not incur karma loss for killing them.
