Presidential Metro

The presidential metro is a network of pre-War metro tunnels $$ It connects various government buildings in the Washington metropolitan area, including the White House, the Capitol Building and Adams Air Force Base.

Layout
The presidential metro can be used by the Lone Wanderer to traverse from the presidential sub level beneath the White House with Adams Air Force Base and the Capitol Building's east wing. An automated defense system is headed by a computer system called Metro Authority Rapid Governmental transit System. M.A.R.Go.T. controls the trains, robots, and other maintenance personnel.

The area is guarded by sentry bots and swarming with ghouls. At higher levels, multiple feral ghoul reavers will be present. The enemy groups may be fighting one another.

The metro can be activated by way of acquiring fuses from the destroyed presidential sentry bot or by killing the ghouls present. Once the ghouls are killed, the security breach will be considered cleared, and the presidential sentry bot will automatically replace the fuses. Reporting to M.A.R.Go.T will result in her reporting that the main repairs will now begin. The Lone Wanderer will then see the presidential sentry bot replace the fuse, enabling the metro.

Loot

 * Nuka-Cola Quantum in the equipment room, which connects the western and eastern lines.
 * A police hat can be found near M.A.R.Go.T. in the room where first encountered, and another by a skeleton by a caved-in area to the right when finding the ghouls.
 * A single mini nuke located in a half-buried train car at a tunnel dead-end.
 * Upwards of 20 pieces of scrap metal on shelves, in containers, and by the side of train tracks throughout the metro.

Related quests

 * The Sorrowful Suitor: A holotape titled "Sorry, my darling" can be found on a bench near the exit to the Capitol building. The holotape begins the quest.

Behind the scenes
There is no actual train involved in the travel cutscene. Instead, the game equips the player's character with a special glove that emulates the train's interior, while the character is running along the tracks at very high speed, simulating a moving train.

Bugs

 * Occasionally, when the reaver is killed, it may fling back down the hall where it came from.
 * Reavers in this area may be affected by a physics bug that causes them to jitter and shake rapidly. This makes them very difficult to target and rounds often pass through them without dealing any damage, even inside VATS. This may be related to the aforementioned bug, as when killed they often fly some distance. Explosives still have full effect.
