Craterside Supply

Craterside Supply is a store located in Megaton in 2277. It can be found by going right and following the path as soon as the Lone Wanderer enters Megaton.
==Background==
The store opens at 8:00 AM and is owned by Moira Brown. Her stock, as well as her caps, refreshes on Mondays and Thursdays. The shop sells anything one might need, and as most of the Megaton settlers point out, usually at a good price. Speaking with Moira will grant the option of buying items, or starting the Wasteland Survival Guide quest.
Craterside Supply is guarded by a single mercenary, who upon interaction, replies he is "watching [the visitor]." During her quest, he might say to "leave him out of that girl's crazy experiments" as he "does not get paid enough for that," referring to the help the Lone Wanderer is giving Moira. Any negative interaction with Moira, such as getting caught stealing or injuring her, will lead to the mercenary turning hostile and retaliating.
==Layout==
On the right upon entry, the counter is just beyond the entrance, with an armored Vault 101 jumpsuit behind it and a locker that contains some of Moira's inventory, but it cannot be lockpicked. Moira's terminal with a Very Easy lock is directly to the left, containing information on Moira's other experiments.Megaton terminal entries; Moira's terminal, Track Current Experiments
Near that is another fully stocked locker which can also only be opened with Moira's key. On another side, the mercenary stands with his back against the wall alongside a workbench and a doorway. Walking through the doorway leads to the stairway and the bed owned by the mercenary.
Going upstairs leads to a small living room which contains only a sofa. The opening in this room leads to Moira's bedroom, which contains a Hard locked desk and Moira's bed.
==Notable loot==
* A bottlecap mine on the workbench next to Moira's mercenary.
* Two boxes of sugar bombs are on the bottom shelf in the northwest corner of the first floor, which can be used for the unmarked quest Murphy's Bombing Run.
* The unique armored Vault 101 jumpsuit can be stolen from behind the counter if the Lone Wanderer declines the Wasteland Survival Guide quest.
* The mole rat repellent stick can be stolen from Moira's Hard locked desk upstairs, but only if the optional part for that part of the quest was not completed.
==Related quests==
* The Wasteland Survival Guide
==Appearances==
Craterside Supply appears only in Fallout 3.

* In the Afterword, the shop continues to exist by 2297, under Moira's ownership and is the hub of the Wasteland Survival Guide distribution network.Afterword
==Bugs==
* If one enters Craterside Supply just a moment or two after it first opens, the guard and Moira will react as if one had picked the lock to get in. This can be especially problematic if one is entering the store for the first time, as Megaton is typically the first location the player character will visit after leaving Vault 101 and one may not have created a manual save by then. They will be stuck with the autosave created upon entering Craterside Supply, and will have to reload back to the save created when exiting the Vault. 
* Using the right stick to pick up an item may result in Moira and her mercenary guard attacking the player character as if witnessed stealing. 
* When the time comes for Moira to close the shop and the Lone Wanderer is still in with their companions, if they go out, their companions will stay inside.
