Germantown Police HQ

Germantown Police HQ is an old police headquarters that is under the control of super mutants. It is used as a base from which they raid Big Town and a holding place/processing location for their captured prey.

History
Before the Great War, Germantown was a town in the state of Maryland. 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 911 dispatcher that his wife forgot to take her pills, and a man who tells strange stories about his shoes growing wings and other strange things.

Bizarre 911 Call Log
The Flying Bananas Cant Talk note may have been written by this person, indicating that he was arrested and wrote this in his cell. This message is also a 911 call record on the 3rd computer on the left in the call center.

Bugs

 * On the top floor in the southeast section, around the corner from the door to the ground floor, at the intersection of two hallways near a firehose box, on the floor is a violently bobbing human skull. Grabbing the object momentarily stills it, but I was unable to move it. Ungrabbing, either intentionally or by stepping away, returns the skull to its ever-seizure. (Xbox 360)
 * With Broken Steel DLC. In the Basement Kitchen area, the Super Mutant Overlord appears only as Super Mutant in V.A.T.S. (Confirmed on PS3, PC and 360)
