Takoma Industrial

The Takoma Industrial is an abandoned factory in Takoma Park in Downtown DC, and apparently once manufactured Abraxo Cleaner. In the years since the Great War, it has become a stronghold for Super Mutants.

Location
The industries can only be reached from the Vernon East/Takoma Park metro to Takoma Park, through a derilict house to the east of the industries.

The Complex
Upon arrival a battle will be occuring between a squad of Talon Company Merc's and some Super mutants right outside the Facility entrance.

Be sure to investigate all of the exits, as two of them lead to locations that are otherwise inaccessible. The elevated door in the north wall leads to the factory's "backyard", which has a tent with beds and several lootable boxes; the elevated door in the east wall of the southern section of the factory leads to a balcony with a Sniper Rifle and several .308 Caliber Rounds.

A copy of Lying, Congressional Style can be found on a bookshelf in the eastern section of the factory.

To the west outside of the compound, through a closed gate, there is a Behemoth with three other Super Mutants outside and auto shop. Just after opening the gate, there is a set of planks leading up onto to roof of a truck, where the dead body of a mercenary lies, On his corpse you will find the "Takoma Park artillery Note" explaining Talon Company are operating in the area. The artillery switch next to the mercs corpse can aid dramatically in taking down the Behemoth. Just Inside the auto shop is a copy of U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes.

A Nuka-Cola Quantum can also be found if you follow the western stairs up, follow these stairs up and move straight ahead over the makeshift walkway (the nuka quantum can be found in the crate on the plateau).
