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 enterprises archives.

In 2077, shortly after Project Zhu-Rong's completion, the building was invaded by U.S. military security forces, comprised mostly of robots. Most of the employees of L.O.B. Enterprises had safely evacuated the building in time, forcing a lock-down of the facility, pending further federal investigation. However, the Great War broke out on October 23, and the U.S. military robots remained inside, keeping the premises secure for over two hundred years since that time.

Appearances
L.O.B Enterprises appears only in Fallout 3.
