Quest Group: Main Quests
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest Uncle Sam.
Unlock a secure bunker and discover the secrets within.
Abandoned Waste Dump
Appalachia / West Virginia
I found an active elevator that I think might lead to Sam Blackwell's bunker... but it looks like something bad happened inside. I can find the remains of.... whoever was riding it, though, maybe I can find a way inside.
Locate the body of the Agent and take the Operation Summary - Blackwell holotape.
I found what seems to be some kind of military holotape in the cavern that I think houses Sam Blackwell's bunker. Suppose I ought to give it a listen.
Seems this is -- or was -- the place where Senator Blackwell had been hiding. If I can find this "Bypass Holotape" the assassin mentioned, maybe I can get inside. Should start by searching the cave.
In the cave you will find two Deathclaw Nests, one in its right part and the other in its left part. In one of them you will find the Bypass Holotape.
I found the Bypass Holotape mentioned by the agent in his operation report. If I can figure out how to use it, this might just be my ticket inside.
Return to the elevator and play the tape.
The "Bypass Holotape" granted me access to the elevator. Time to see what's inside.
Activate the Secure Access Panel.
I made it inside Sam Blackwell's bunker. Wonder what might still be down here.
Find a room with a laser grid and approach it.
Hmm. Seems there's a section of the bunker blocked by a laser grid. I'll have to find someway to past it.
Go to the control room located above the room with the laser barrier.
If you can hack level 3 terminals then you can use the Security System Terminal > Reset Laser Grid Credentials. Otherwise, you need to find Security System Manual Reset in the desk and complete three optional objectives.
I found a note that suggests that if I can overload the bunker's power grid, I can reset the credentials to the handscanner. All I need to do is reset the circuit breaker, open the air flue, and activate the circuit conduit.
If you overloaded bunker's power grid.
Success! I overloaded bunker's power grid, Now I just have to register my hand print in order to proceed deeper into the bunker.
If you hacked security terminal.
All right. I reset the credentials to the laser grid. Now I just have to register my hand print and I should be able to get deeper inside.
I've gained access to the bunker section past the laser grid. Time to see what's back there.
There is a keypad on the wall.
There's a strange keypad in this room, but it's not clear what it's linked to. Maybe if I can find its code, I can figure out its purpose.
The code you need is 021584, which is the date of Judy's death. Use the keypad and enter it.
Use the Sam's Terminal > Judy's Gone.
Bingo. I figured out the right code, which unlocked a hidden compartment in a nearby painting. Let's see what's inside.
Reach behind the painting. You will receive Welcome to Whitespring holotape and Congressional Access Card.
Behind the painting, I found a holotape and a Congressional ID. Guess I ought to give the holotape a listen.
It appears this ID will get me inside the Whitespring Congressional bunker. I wonder if any survived?
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest One of Us.
