Old Olney

Old Olney is a run down and derelict town in the Capital Wasteland, the town on first sight is completely overrun by deathclaws.

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.

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.

If you came here in search of Nuka-Cola Quantum, you will find a note next to a skeleton 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 directly east, you will spot the crashed truck not far from the town and several Nuka-Cola Quantums.
