Talk to Father

Fallout 4 - Speak to the Father

Meet X6-88 in Libertalia

Fallout 4 - Libertalia Map

The Father will also assign X6-88 to help you with this quest. Meet him on the coast of Libertalia before swimming to the main settlement.

Defeat All the Raiders

Fallout 4 - Defeat All Raiders in Libertalia

Defeat all the raiders and turrets attacking you as you approach Libertalia. Once the coast is clear, head to the shack on the east.

Head to the Shack

Fallout 4 - Synth Retention Gabriel Location

Make your way to the largest shack in Libertalia, located at the far east of the map. Once inside, head to the top to reach the captain's quarters.

Before you proceed, X6-88 will ask you to reboot Gabriel once you meet him upstairs. Keep this in mind once you get to interact with him later on.

Reset Gabriel

Fallout 4 - Reset Gabriel

Speak to Gabriel, and when prompted, choose the Use Recall Code option to reset him. This will initiate a short battle with the raiders on the top floor, which you need to defeat before X6-88 teleports Gabriel back to the Institute.

Report Back to the Father

Fallout 4 - Report Back to the Father

Head back to the Institute and report to Father about Gabriel's situation. Upon completing his assignment, you'll be rewarded with your own personal quarters in the Institute.

Head to Your Personal Quarters

Finally, end the quest by heading up to your personal quarters. From the Robotics department, take the stairs to the third floor. You can find your personal quarters there and wait for X6-88 to approach you inside to complete the quest.
