L.O.B. Enterprises

L.O.B. Enterprises is an explorable building in Fallout 3, located in Falls Church. It can be reached by traveling through Grayditch, then through Marigold station to the Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro or by traveling through Foggy Bottom station, the Mason District, and Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro. It is next to the Falls Church East map marker.

Background
The company itself was involved with China before the War, and spent a lot of time and resources developing a new incendiary sidearm for them known as "Project Zhu-Rong." Rumors arose and subsequently spread of their activities and L.O.B. Enterprises soon came under federal scrutiny, as political tensions rose between the United States and China. As a result, its employees were required to carry low-grade military weapons at all times and received training in the event of a federal invasion or nuclear exchange.

The Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese pistol was one of their products and appears to be a variant of Project Zhu-Rong, as is indicated in their research files, and subsequently lies in the area for one to obtain.

Layout
It is divided into three areas: the main area, east wing, and enterprise archives. In 2077, shortly after Project Zhu-Rong's completion, the building was invaded by U.S. military security forces, comprised mostly of robots. Due to the Great War breaking out on October 23, the U.S. military robots remained inside, keeping the premises secure for over two hundred years since that time.

L.O.B. Enterprises

 * Pugilism Illustrated - In a storeroom composed of only metal shelves, on the eastern side of the map in the southernmost room. It can be reached by going north and then east of the L.O.B. Enterprises entrance. By entering a room with only wooden shelves and a terminal, it can be found directly south of it.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - On a shelf in the big office above the boiler room in the L.O.B. Enterprises area, near the northwest corner of the map.

East wing

 * Stealth Boy: Entering the east wing, there is a reception area consisting of an alcove on the right with two desks, a coffee machine, filing cabinets, and shelves. There are two terminals, one functioning security operations terminal, and another non-functioning terminal with a Stealth Boy.
 * Two pre-War books - Both of them are on the desk by the R&D operations terminal, but have also been seen in various places on the floor. The R&D room is the first accessible door on the left after reaching the top level of the east wing, in the same hallway as the CEO's office.
 * Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese pistol - Inside the CEO's office (Very Hard lock), inside the CEO's briefcase (Hard lock) on the desk. The key is inside the CEO's desk, and will also unlock the door that leads back into the hallway, in the case of the player reaching the CEO's room by circling the edge of the destroyed floor rather than picking the lock.
 * Tumblers Today - Next to the computer monitor on the desk in the CEO's office.
 * Mini nuke - In the CEO's bathroom next to the garbage can or on top of the lighting fixture over the toilet.

Archives

 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual - Next to the employee terminal in the archives.
 * Stealth Boy - In the generator area of the archives past the bathrooms, on a shelf on the eastern wall.
