MAP OF THE PRESIDENTIAL SUB LEVEL - EASTERN PART:
Map legend: 1 - passageway to the western part of the sub level; 2 - storage areas; 3 - M.A.R.Go.T.; 4 - passageway to the Presidential Metro
Keep heading east. Once you've reached the final section of the tunnel turn south and locate a new door. There's a small storage area nearby. Look around to find a couple of pulse grenades amongst other interesting items. Afterwards use the stairs [#42] to get to a new section of the tunnels. Eventually you'll end up standing inside a new metro tunnel and you'll have to be ready to defend yourself against the robots. There's also going to be a second stash along the way. It contains a computer with some interesting logs.
[#42]
Keep heading south and choose a small passageway located on the left (eastern) wall of the tunnel. Make a few steps forward and notice a very large computer station in front of you [#43]. You could try ignoring this machine and lockpicking a nearby door, however I would recommend that you have a little chat with artificial intelligence. Here's what you can do:
1) You can rely on an aggressive approach by choosing hostile responses or by asking the machine to allow you to enter the inner complex. Doing this will make all other robots hostile towards your character, as well as will trigger nearby security turrets.
2) If you've invested a lot of points into Speech you can try to convince the machine that you're authorized to access the tunnels.
3) You can use your other skills (for example - Science) to fool the AI into thinking that you're an authorized user of the system.
Choosing a peaceful approach will allow you to find out that the system is dealing with intruders in the metro and it won't be able to return to its normal routine until the threat is dealt with. End the "conversation" and use the door located behind M.A.R.Go.T. This will allow you to get to the Presidential Metro.
[#43]
MAP OF THE PRESIDENTIAL METRO - NORTHERN PART:
Map legend: 1 - entrance to the Presidential Metro; 2 - area where ghouls appear; 3 - passageway to the southern section
DON'T attack any of the nearby robots unless you've decided to choose an aggressive approach during your conversation with M.A.R.Go.T. All the machines will be friendly towards your character and they're going to be helpful in getting rid of the intruders (ghouls - to be more specific). Head forward and notice fights taking place next to the train tracks [#44]. Ignore weaker beasts and focus on getting rid of new types of ghouls, called feral ghoul reavers. Use your must powerful guns to eliminate those creatures, however remember not to destroy friendly machines by mistake (you can't use a fatman nor a rocket launcher).
[#44]
You can look around the area if you want to once you take care of all hostile creatures. Consider exploring the tunnels to the north, however you won't find any rare treasures. Inspect bodies of some of the ghouls in order to collect ammunition and other useful supplies. You should also notice a lot of RadAway's in the area. Collect a few of those, especially since you'll enter irradiated areas very soon. Proceed to the south. Turn right and notice several ghouls on the other side of the fence [#45]. You can kill them yourself or you can wait for your followers to get rid of them.
