Walkthrough: There are two ways for you to activate this quest, but it's highly unlikely that you'll want to start it while exploring the swamps. If you're persistent, you would have to find an Excavated Muck Hole on your own and explore it in search of a holotape. I would recommend that you begin this quest properly by heading towards a wrecked ship, called USS Ozymandias. Thankfully you won't have to spend too much time looking for it. Start off at Calvert Mansion and swim a few meters when you get to the water [#54]. Open a hatch to gain access to Belowdecks.
[#55]
Once you're inside the ship proceed to your left and locate a computer terminal on one of the walls [#55]. Activate the terminal and choose the first option from the list - Mission Parameters. Ignore other functions and shut down the terminal. You may finally leave the ship. Open your Pip-Boy and you'll notice that three locations have been added to your personal map and they're all located in the swamps. It's up to you to figure out in which order you want to explore them.
[#56]
Each time you're close to a designated area of the map you're going to be attacked by a small group of feral ghouls [#56]. It's important to be careful while trying to kill the monsters, especially while going after stronger versions of these creatures. Keep moving and use your powerful guns to end each fight quickly.
[#57]
After you've defeated each group of ghouls you will have to locate an Excavated Muck Hole. Notice that you'll be dealing with small portions of radiation while exploring underground tunnels, so it'll be important to act quickly. Each time you'll have to find a holotape [#57], pick it up and head back outside. Once all three holodisks are in your possession you will be allowed to return to USS Ozymandias. Use the computer terminal again and choose the correct options from the main menu to input all three codes (you don't have to listen to what's on the tapes). Finish off by choosing the first option from the list (Access Expedition Supplies) and you'll gain access to a safe. Open the safe to find bio-gas canisters, radiation suits, stimpaks and other useful supplies.
