Germantown police HQ terminal entries

The Germantown police HQ terminal entries are a series of entries found on terminals within the Germantown police HQ in Fallout 3.

Terminal
When the Lone Wanderer explores the ruined town of Germantown, this terminal can be found in the courtyard in front of the Germantown police HQ building, containing the logs of one Nancy Kroydon.

Germantown logs

 * In Log 2, the Belt Loop likely refers to either the inner or outer loop of the real-world Interstate 495, the Capital Beltway.
 * The two drugs Nancy mentions in Log 6, Prussian blue and filgrastim, are both real-life medications that can be used in the management of radiation poisoning. Prussian blue (iron (III) ferrocyanide) is a blue pigment, most commonly known as the blue in blueprints. It is also used as a treatment for thallium and cesium toxicity, thanks to its ability to chelate (bind into excretable form) these and other heavy metals. Filgrastim is a recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, used to stimulate bone marrow to produce more white blood cells. Its major use is to treat the immune dysfunctions caused by bone marrow damage; in our world, this commonly results from high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the context of cancer treatment.
 * The logs were written by Joel Burgess, lead level designer of Fallout 3.
