Craterside Supply

Craterside Supply is a store located in Megaton in Fallout 3 run by Moira Brown. This store opens at 8:00am and the door is a very hard lockpick rating. Townsfolk direct you to it to get furnishing for your home. An Armored Vault Suit from Vault 101 hangs on one of its walls. Additionally, a workbench for use in creating items is available to you. Speaking with Moira will give you the option of starting the The Wasteland Survival Guide quest. Moira will also get you the Armored Vault Suit.

After having Moira Brown's terminal hacked, the player character can get to know some amusing facts concerning the survival book she is working on.

The Craterside Supply is guarded by a singular mercenary who upon interaction states that he isn't paid enough to take part in Moira's "crazy experiments" by saying "Leave me out of that girls crazy experiments. I don't get paid enough for that.", probably referring to the help you are giving Moira.

House improvements are stored in an unlocked locker that can only be accessed by enabling noclip mode (ncl in the console) and walking through the wall.

Appearances
The "Craterside Supply" appears only in Fallout 3.

Glitch

 * If you use the filing cabinets at the back of the store to deposit your weaponry, armor, and misc stuff for a safe and convient place. Don't store your brotherhood power armor or power helm. For some reason it will not be there anymore and you will have to buy it back from Moira.
 * This is common with other (maybe all) items as well.


 * If you first steal something from Moira, kill her, drop the stolen item, and then pick it up again Moira may occasionally tell you that you have stolen something even though she is dead. (verify?)[Moira can't tell you that you have stolen something if she's dead, obviously.]

Tips

 * You can pickpocket all the shop's cash from Moira. It is extremely difficult, but possible if your sneak skill is very high, and Moira is upstairs, instead of standing near the Mercenary.
 * The mercenary can be killed by placing a bottlecap mine at his feet and then backing away quickly. This will allow for easier sneak attempts.
