Megaton Tips
1 of 5: One of the easiest ways to find potential slaves is to enter one of Megaton's two restroom areas.
2 of 5: Repeatedly wait for one hour until a generic "Megaton settler" person comes in, then do the quicksave-and-mez routine on him until it works.
3 of 5: It's a bit riskier, but you can get away with enslaving a Megaton settler while he's wandering around the outdoor town area.
4 of 5: Follow him along with the mesmetron out and ready until he goes near an unlocked door that leads to an interior area, like a house or a shop. Quicksave, then do the "zap and quickrestore if necessary" routine until you can enslave him.
5 of 5: As soon as you get him going to Paradise Falls, use the nearby door to enter the interior area. If you move fast enough, and if no one else was close by when you enslaved the settler, you should get away with it. (Just to be sure, wait an hour before going back outside, and don't quicksave again until you're certain the town won't turn hostile.)
