Falls Church Metro

Falls Church is a location in the Washington D.C. area, to the east of Grayditch.

Layout
Falls Church is technically next to Grayditch, Arlington and Mason District, but it can only be reached through the old Metro.
 * The most common way is probably to explore the Marigold Station, reachable from Grayditch where you will be fighting Fire Ants during the quest "Those!".
 * You can also come here from Arlington Cemetery via Arlington/Falls Church Metro
 * ...or via Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro in Mason District (and Hubris Comics).

Unmarked quest: The Lost Initiate
If this is your first time to Falls Church you'll find an ongoing battle between a Brotherhood of Steel training squad and a group of super mutants. Knight Church has been killed and Initiate Pek is trying to hold out for reinforcements in a nearby Office Building, Paladin Hoss will inform you.

Warning: If you routinely pop out of metro or tunnel exits to collect map markers for later use you will probably trigger the start of this quest.

Notable loot
