Fallout 3 Hints

How can I get this quest?

  • 1 of 6: Go to the rusty old aircraft carrier that's now called Rivet City (location 64 on the Zone 9 Map).
  • 2 of 6: After you cross the bridge and talk to Harkness, go to Doctor Li's laboratory.
  • 3 of 6: After you enter the lab, turn right and go down the stairs, then head to the back wall where Dr. Zimmer and Anna Holt are talking.
  • 4 of 6: Listen to their conversation, then talk to Dr. Zimmer about his missing android.
  • 5 of 6: Agree to find the android in order to get this quest.
  • 6 of 6: NOTE: You can also get this quest by picking up any of the many related holotapes that are scattered about the wasteland, but you should still go talk to Dr. Zimmer before trying to get further along on the quest.
