Germantown Police HQ

Before the War, Germantown was a town in what used to be the state of Maryland. Now, Germantown is a place where the super mutants have established a base of operations from which to launch raids on Big Town. The inhabitants of Germantown constantly wage unceasing war against Big Town, detain the humans captured during raids, and retrieve the cadavers of others for later consumption. In the Big Trouble in Big Town side quest, the player must rescue Red and Shorty, two Big Town residents from their imprisonment in the Germantown police station. Watch out for mines on the top floor of the Germantown Police station, where you will also find a computer terminal needed to unlock cell doors. There are also a few terminals detailing the final 911 calls before the Great War. These include a fire, a man who breaks into a woman's house and tells the police that his wife forgot to take her pills (successfully fooling the 911 caller in the process even though signs of a struggle can be heard in the background), and a man who tells strange stories about his shoes growing wings and other strange things.
