After a rather disturbing scene, you'll awaken to an alarm and find your wife dead and frozen in another container. Interact with the panel on the right to open it. Interact with Nora to take her wedding ring. None of the other containers will open, so it's time to leave. Go through the safehouse door and collect all the tools at the end of the hallway (they'll be used as crafting materials later). Try opening the inaccessible door to trigger an announcement, then go through the door to the north.
Go down the stairs and take the Guard's Baton from the white crate in front of the window. Through the glass, you'll see a Radroach waiting for you in the next room. Before opening the next door, go right and search the office:
- Carton of Cigarettes (VAL 50), Stimpak x1
Note: Cigarette packs and boxes now have crafting value.
You can also activate the security terminal and read a short backstory of the events immediately after being frozen.
Red Scare game
Continue through the next two doors and ready your weapon (press R) if you haven't already. Kill the Radroach and grab the second baton from the table. Explore the kitchen and living quarters in the northern area:
- Holodisk Game Cartridge: "Red Menace"
Activate the recreational terminal to play a Fallout-themed version of the classic arcade/NES game and earn the "Retro Future" achievement! Be sure to unload the holodisk when you're finished so you can take it with you and play on other computers, or even better, right on your own Pip-Boy! Who knows? It might be the only copy left.
Overseas Office
Open the western door and enter a large room with electrical coils. Getting too close to them will drain 5-10% of your health each time. Kill two Radroaches and open the door to defeat two more. Proceed further to reach the Overseer's Office:
10mm Pistol x2, 10mm Ammo, Stimpak x3, Goggles, Lockpicks x5
Grab the pistol and ammo, as well as the stimpaks. In the main bathroom, grab the lockpicks and rad-x from the first aid kit, and get the 10mm ammo from the locked cabinet in the bedroom. Proceed through the open security gate and grab an extra pistol and more ammo. Don't forget about the ammo on the floor. Note the locked case containing the Cryolator (a freezing weapon). You can come back later when you have the skill to open the lock. Activate the Overseer's terminal when you're ready to move on. Select "Open Evacuation Tunnel."
Sneak around the corner and use the pistol to kill one or two radroaches. Stay near the doorway, and you should be able to kill all six roaches. Conserve ammo! Shoot carefully or use VATS (press Q) to inflict more damage while using minimal ammo. We're in the post-Core, after all, so it's best to conserve :)
Pip-Boy and finishing touches
Proceed through two more doors and quickly shoot the last two Radroaches in the room with the main vault entrance:
- 10mm Ammo, Pip-Boy.
Grab the 10mm ammo on the left as you enter. Climb up to the door control platform and grab your new Pip-Boy! You'll now be able to interact with the door controls, as well as everything else the Pip-Boy does for us (inventory, map, quest log, status, etc.).
Activate the vault door controls and get ready for the sunlight! Turn right from the panel for a better view. Exit once the mechanism finishes working. After entering the elevator, you'll be given one last chance to change your character's name, appearance, and SPECIAL attributes. Exit the vault when you're ready...
