Exit the container once you've disabled new base defences, turn left and use the stairs [#53] to get to a roof of a nearby building. Make sure to destroy a couple of turrets along the way to earn experience points easily. Be careful, because enemy soldiers may appear below your position. Enter a container as soon as possible and locate a computer terminal in order to disable a new set of turrets. A Vertibird may arrive to the north in the meantime. I would recommend that you destroy the flying machine before it deploys new troops and this can be done using the fatman.
[#53]
Proceed to the ground level. Ignore a landing pad located to the east of your current position and head north. Eventually you'll get to the stairs [#54]. Proceed to the upper level and you'll end up standing on a balcony. Make sure to kill all nearby enemy units. Afterwards proceed to the north quickly and find an area with a lot of supplies. Notice a switch near the crates and use it to trigger a bombardment. This will allow you to get rid of the vertibirds and nearby enemy troops without having to fight them on your own. Wait for your followers to get here and collect supplies in the meantime. Head east.
[#54]
As you've probably noticed by now, you're surrounded by buildings and force fields from almost all directions, so it won't be easy to get to your current destination. The only available passageway leads through a large warehouse [#55]. Get ready to kill a few scientists once inside. You can use your weapons to kill them or you can free one of the deathclaws. I wouldn't recommend doing that, because there's a chance you may end up being attacked by the beast. As a result the only true exception is if you're planning on earning additional experience points. Start moving north.
[#55]
Turn north-west when you exit the warehouse. This time you'll have to get to the stairs [#56]. I would recommend that you take out new Enclave troops as well as security turrets from a larger distance. It shouldn't be a big problem. You could try reaching the left container to disable or reprogram the turrets, however in this case it shouldn't be necessary. Proceed towards a small platform and locate a new switch. Pressing one of the buttons will result in yet another bombardment. Once you've successfully cleared out the area in front of you make sure no one else is standing behind you, because one of the soldiers may decide to perform a surprise attack. Don't forget to use the cannon with caution when you're killing enemies from a smaller distance.
[#56]
Keep moving north, however you will have to turn to north-east in a short while. Don't be surprised if you encounter a few other Enclave soldiers along the way, but thankfully eliminating them should be a piece of cake. Once you've reached the control tower quickly go to your left and find a computer terminal on one of the walls [#57]. Using the terminal will allow you to shut down all nearby turrets. Once this is done use the stairs to get to the upper platform of the control tower.
[#57]
Start moving towards the top of the tower. Obviously you'll have to eliminate other Enclave troops along the way, but there shouldn't be too many of them. Don't forget about the possibility of destroying security turrets for easy experience. Approach the top of the tower from the west and you should be able to locate a door [#58]. Open the door to get inside the Air Control Tower. Upon your arrival in a new area you may decide to scout the surrounding rooms for supplies (including a sniper rifle), however you would have to destroy a sentry bot in the process. I would recommend using the stairs to proceed directly to the top floor. Go through the door and approach a large console. Activate the console and choose the first option from the list - Open Mobile Platform Loading Ramp.
[#58]
You may exit the Air Control Tower. Proceed to the ground level and start moving south-east, heading towards a very large mobile platform. I guess you won't be surprised to hear that you'll be stopped by new Enclave soldiers. I wouldn't recommend fighting them, because fallen enemies are going to be replaced by new units. The only exception is if you want to earn a lot of experience points or collect valuable equipment. Make sure to explore a large container along the way, because you'll find a lot of medical supplies inside. Once you're ready head up the ramp [#59] and open the door leading to the Mobile Base Crawler.
