Enter the Elevator

Exit the teleporter where you just came from and a mysterious voice from the intercom will ask you to proceed to the elevator down the stairs.

Insert the Network Scanner Holotape into the Console

Talk to Shaun

Leave the elevator and talk to Shaun who is just in the room ahead of you. Tell him that you're his parent and you've come to rescue him.

Shaun will then panic, accusing you as a kidnapper. A strange old man will then enter the room who will shut down Shaun using a code phrase.

Accept or Decline to Join the Institute

Speak to Father and he will explain how he is the real Shaun and that it has been 60 years since he's been taken from Vault 111, and is now the Director of the Institute. At this point, you are given the choice to join the Institute or not.

If you refuse to join the Institute, Father will ask you to leave using the teleporter and the quest will end there.

Meet the Division Leaders

If you decide to join the Institute, talk to the four division leaders, namely Allie Filmore, Clayton Holdren, Justin Ayo, and Madison Li, all of whom can be found around the Institute's different office sectors.

In addition, Madison Li will be able to install a chip in your Pip-Boy, allowing you to freely fast travel in and out of the Institute.
