Fallout 3 Hints
(Optional) Recover the Nuka-Cola Quantum shipping manifests.
1 of 11: You get this objective by asking Sierra where you can start looking for quantums, though it may not appear in the objective list until after you talk to Ronald or enter the Nuka-Cola Plant building.
2 of 11: Travel to the Nuka-Cola Plant (location 11 on the Zone 8 Map) and enter its Factory Floor area, ready to fight its security robots.
3 of 11: In the starting room, there's a locked door in the north wall that's a shortcut to your destination. However, it requires a Lockpick skill of 100 to pick open, so you'll probably have to go the long way.
4 of 11: Go through the doorway in the entry room's west wall, then go through another doorway, turn right, and go through yet another doorway to enter a very large room.
5 of 11: Cross the room and go through the door on its other side, then run along in the maintenance tunnel until you come to another door. (Note that you'll find the first of many mirelurk variants called "nukalurks" near this door.)
6 of 11: That door leads to the Storage And Mixing Vats area. You'll need to go through it and the Offices area to get back to the Factory Floor area in the section that's behind the above-mentioned locked door.
7 of 11: When you reenter the Factory Floor area, you'll be on the highest walkway in a large multi-level room.
8 of 11: Go down the stairs on the walkway until you reach a doorway where a robot named "Milo, Shipping Foreman" talks to you.
9 of 11: If you got the letter from the Storage And Mixing Vats area, you can choose the option about you being the shipping clerk. Otherwise, you'll have to pass a tough Speech Challenge to avoid a fight.
10 of 11: If you manage to trick Milo, ask about the shipping manifests to get the password to the Nuka-Cola shipping terminal. Otherwise, fight Milo and get the Shipping Computer Login Code item from the body.
11 of 11: The Nuka-Cola shipping terminal is on the desk in the NW corner of Milo's room. Access it and choose the "Quantum Test Shipments" option to finish this objective.
