Seward Square

Seward Square is the section of Washington, DC where Reilly's Rangers' Compound is located.

Location
Seward Square is reached through the Metro. It can be reached most easily from Anacostia (Rivet City) through Anacostia Crossing Station. It can also be accessed through The Capitol Building from The Mall. A battle between Talon Company mercs and Super Mutants may be taking place, with exploding cars in the crossfire.

Points of Interest

 * The Capitol Building in the west, near Seward Sq. Northwest map marker.
 * An Office Building near the Penn. Ave/Seward Sq. Metro.
 * A skybridge east of the Capitol Building (and accessable via the office building) houses a switch which will call in artillery to be fired across the square. This provides a novel way to take out some of the warring Talon Mercenaries and Super Mutants.  A sniper guards the switch.

Unmarked quest: The Preacher
There is a mad preacher ("Wastelander") standing on the second floor of a building in an alleyway west of the Reilly's Rangers headquarters entrance (B). The alley has been rigged with mines and nukes that he detonates if you try to get close to him. There is a hostage (another Wastelander) on one end of the alley, who you can talk to. If you are looking at the mad preacher when he detonates, he waves at you. He also dies in the blast.

Notable loot

 * Pulowski Preservation Shelter with Lying, Congressional Style near The Capitol Building (A).
 * There is a safe (average lock) with a random goodies in the truck at the corner of 5th and Independence.
