Wait... Knowing you as well as I do, I probably don't want to know the answer to that question! For that matter, how the hell were you even able to get a message to me from inside that Vault in the first place? I probably don't want to know the answer to that question either, but I'm glad that we both still have a friend or two inside The Citadel, that's for sure. Whatever you're up to, for you to try and leave that Vault - and your SON behind - I know it's got to be big, and I know that you'll need my help..."
THE STORY The basic premise behind the quest is that James (dad) got word out to a very old friend named Pavel Chekov, that he was planning on leaving Vault 101. But unknown to James, Pavel was in The Commonwealth and it took quite a bit of time for the message to get to him. As a consequence, the only assistance Pavel could provide was the use of his house and armory. So Pavel has an associate named Sergi to leave James a note and a key hidden at Vault 101, but James either left the Vault before the things were hidden, or simply didn't find them. This leaves the house for the kid, aka YOU!
The quest itself is very simple and has only 2 stages. At first I wasn't even going to make a quest, but eventually I decided to go ahead with one even if it was very short and simple. However, there is a nice bonus to my quest in that it follows along or "dovetails" with 2 other quests in the game - The Power of The Atom & Tenpenny Tower. Basically, the quest is to gain access to the balcony level of Tenpenny Tower and there are several possible ways of doing so, but you have to jump through some hoops to get there by either a speech challenge, bribe or blowing up Megaton. As soon as you reach the balcony you must walk around to the ladder into the armory to complete the quest. I have the ladder area set up with a trigger that completes the quest when you enter it. The quest can be triggered 2 different ways:
From the time it's triggered just head to Tenpenny Tower and gain access to the balcony level as I mentioned above. Once you get in the house, you have your own hot android from The Commonwealth pictured below.
