Solution 2

If you decide to help Elder McNamara, you need to complete three tasks. The first task is to get the holotapes. The closest missing patrol is located east to the bunkers #1. Watch out for centaurs and an irradiated crater with bodies. Run very fast and search the bodies looking for BoS holotapes. The second missing patrol is located near the [Nellis AFB] (MsC:3) #2. To get there safely read the [Volare!] quest description or just complete it first which will cause the bombardment to stop. Look for a dead BoS Paladin and take the holotape.

The last patrol was lost at [REPCONN Headquarters] (MsD:6). Open the door to the right with [Lockpick 50] or by using the terminal [Science 50]. While going to upper levels you will be stopped 3 times by the Mobile Facial Recognition Scanner #1. If your skills are not high enough, you will have 30 seconds to leave the building regardless of your answers.

You must use: [Speech 60], [Intelligence 7], [Luck 7], in this order. Being on the third, [Last REPCONN Headquarters Floor] you will find dead patrol #2. Search the bodies and take the BoS holotape. After you've retrieved all holotapes, return to Elder McNamara (M13B:1) #2 and give him the tapes. You'll be assigned with the next task.

You have to get field reports from Brotherhood scouts #1. You have to pass correct password in order to receive the scouts' reports. You need to visit (in any order) the [NCR Correctional Facility] (MsD:27), the [Coyote Den] (MsF:10) and the [Camp Forlorn Hope] (MsE:20). Return to Elder McNamara and give him the reports. Your last task is to retrieve the parts for repairing the air filtration system in the bunker. Talk about this with a Senior knight Lorenzo (M13B:4) #2. You have to visit three vaults.

VAULT 3 (MsB:23)

Watch out for the Fiends living in the area. Activate the control panel to the left #1 to enter the [Vault 3 - Recreation Area]. You'll encounter a Fiend (M14A:1) there:

• you can kill it - after that you have to kill all Fiends in the vault
• [Speech 64] tell her that you deliver supplies

Go to [Vault 3 - Maintenance Wing] (M14A:2) and locate a locker (M14B:1) there. It contains Reverse Pulse Cleaner #2.

VAULT 11 (MsE:8)

Open a simply-looking entrance #1. Go through the whole Vault to the [Vault 11 - living quarters] (M15A:1), watching out for scorpions and giant mantises. Follow the stairs down to the [Vault 11 - lower level] (M15B:1). Locate a locker under water in the flooded room (M15C:1). It contains Differential Pressure Controller #2.

VAULT 22 (MsA:9)

Being inside [Vault 22 - the entrance] you can take the stairs down (M16A:1) or fix the elevator (M16A:2). Head to the [Vault 22 - Common Areas], drop down to the level below and find the door labeled Quarters (M16D:1). Watch out for the Spore Carrier Savages. In one of the rooms (M16D:2) you can find a Vault 22 Cave Door Keycard #1. Go now to the [Vault 22 - Food Production] and open the door (M16C:1). Enter the cave and go to the [Vault 22 - Oxygen Recycling] (M16C:2). Now you can reach a room with a locker where 6 HEPA 20 Cartridge Filters (M16B:2) #2 are located.

Return to a Senior knight Lorenzo (M13B:4) and give him all the parts. Return again to Elder McNamara and collect your reward.
