Vernon Square

Vernon Square is a section of Washington, DC. Reilly's Rangers are trapped in this area. Vault-Tec Headquarters and/or radiation emitted from a crashed rocket are likely attractions for the unusually numerous super mutants found here. It contains four Metro exits.

Points of interest

 * Our Lady of Hope Hospital
 * Statesman Hotel
 * Vault-Tec Headquarters
 * A small radioactive (2 rad/sec peak) sewer used as a base by the super mutants.
 * Outside of the sewer entrance is a radioactive crater with a wrecked Delta IX rocket in the center. The rocket is the probable source of the radiation, as the rads peak at 43 rad/sec near the rocket's severed nose cone.
 * To ease in entering the sewers, there is a Pulowski preservation shelter next to the subway entrance with a radiation suit inside.
 * An old pre-War cinema still stands around the radioactive crash site. The cinema depicts, among others, an advertisement for the movie "P.S. I Hate You".

Notable loot

 * If you get close to the Statesman Hotel (even from other regions), you will pick up the Ranger Emergency Frequency on your Pip-Boy 3000 radio as long as you haven't rescued them yet.* D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine on the shelves in the radioactive Sewer.
 * A Stealth Boy as well as a scoped .44 magnum on the other shelves, in the Sewer.
 * A Dean's Electronics in a hard to find "second sewer" at the end of an alleyway with a Nuka-Cola machine, by the side of the cinema (see map for "Sewer Entrance" location, more information is here ). The Dean's Electronics is behind an Average locked door, on a table next to some glue and a conductor. There's also a good supply of radiation chems in here, some food and health, and an Average safe.
 * The aforementioned radiation suit is located in the Pulowski preservation shelter in the southwest.

Appearances
Vernon Square appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Fawkes may not enter the sewer.
 * When exiting the sewer located at the bottom of the rocket crater, Fawkes may get stuck in the area right at the very bottom of the stairs next to the sewer entrance and will run in place or back into the sewer. This can be fixed if the player manually pushes him up the stairs and out of the crater. Be warned though if you don't have a radiation suit or many Rad-X or RadAway you may succumb quickly to radiation poisoning.(Patched on PS3, unknown for Xbox360)
