Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro

The Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro, or Franklin Station, is a metro station, and a stop on the Blue Line in the Capital Wasteland in 2277. This station is east of Falls Church Metro and west of Minuteman Metro. The DCTA status monitor identifies this station as currently active.
This station is one of two metro stations accessed at Falls Church Metro. The entrance to the Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro is on the eastern end of Falls Church Metro. The entrance to the Marigold station tunnels is at the west end.
==Background==
Sometime in the early 21st century, technicians working for RobCo Industries installed a newer version of the Unified Operating System into the new mainframe.
Much later, a gang of raiders constructed a camp on the mezzanine. Feral ghouls moved in seeking shelter. Both factions now compete over the mezzanine and platform.
==Layout==
Like all stations, the subway tunnels are destroyed. The subway tracks run east to west. On the westbound track, to the east of the platform, a track coming from the southeast intersects. A secured door leading to the Franklin Metro utility is located on this track. The platform is buried under debris, while the mezzanine has been converted into a raider camp. The station lobby is mostly intact. On the lobby level, there is a toilet trap in one of the restrooms.
==Inhabitants==
The platform near the Mason District exit to Hubris Comics is home to a raider camp that is usually under siege from a group of feral ghouls. Depending on the player character's level, the raider leader may be armed with a flamer, and there may be a glowing one (or more) accompanying the ghouls. If the Broken Steel add-on is installed, there may even be a feral ghoul reaver or two among the pack, likely making short work of the raiders. Broken Steel can add around 10 feral ghoul reavers. Although less dangerous, there are a small number of radroaches and mole rats lurking throughout the station.
==Notable loot==
* D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine - On top of a first aid box in the first restroom on the right from Mason District.
* An oversized copy of Duck and Cover! - In a ticket booth hidden behind a barricade near the feral ghouls. This booth is immediately to the right of the lit kiosk at the top of the northern stairway. Accompanying this book is a first aid box and a missile. This stash does not spawn until the player character reaches level 9.
* Stealth Boy - On top of the left oven in the raider camp inside the diner.
* Pre-War book - Inside the diner on the upper right corner table.
