Rivet City science lab

The Rivet City science lab is the laboratory of Rivet City and working place of Dr. Madison Li and her team. Much of their research involves growing healthy produce like fresh apples and fresh potatoes, which adds to their position as the primary supplier of food to the Wasteland. They are also researching a portable power supply, which is later used by the Brotherhood of Steel after the Enclave stop the relaunch of Project Purity.

The science lab was established after the discontinuation of Project Purity as a place for Madison and her colleagues to pursue their research.

You may see Janice Kaplinski, Anna Holt, Garza, Dr. Zimmer, and Armitage here.

Notable loot

 * Bobblehead - Intelligence on a table in the center next to some purified fruits and vegetables.
 * Fruits and veggies which will result in karma loss if taken but will not turn anyone hostile IF you are not spotted taking them. So, if you don't mind karma loss and pay attention while you steal them, then these items are very good to get some health back in a fight.
 * One of the vegetables, a potato, can actually be taken without any karma loss, and none of the persons in the lab will bother if you take it. The potato is glitched into another potato on the table with the Intelligence Bobblehead, so you must look at the glitched potato and move very carefully until you see "Take fresh potato," and not "Steal fresh potato."
