Talk to Father

Go to the Institute and speak with Father. He will ask the player to deliver a speech about the Institute's proclamation to Commonwealth. He will give you an announcement script about the whole speech.

Record the Speech

Go to the microphone which is in the same room as Father and record the speech. You can choose any dialogue option here and not follow Father's script in which he will make a comment about it if you didn't follow it.

Go to Diamond City and Reconfigure the Transmitter

Talk to Father again and he will tell you to go to Diamond CIty to reconfigure the transmitter so the speech will be delivered on a wider range.

Go follow the quest marker and enter Diamond City Radio. Inside you will need to get 3 radio things and place them on the correct rack. Here are the correct placements:

• Radio thing with the buttons - left rack.
• Radio thing with dials - center rack.
• Radio thing with the tubes - right rack.

Speak with Father Again

After reconfiguring the transmitter, go back to The Institute and make your way to the reactor room to speak with Father. He will tell you to activate the reactor.

Activate the Reactor

Install the beryllium agitator to the reactor which is obtained from a previous quest, Mass Fusion. After installing the agitator, interact with the terminal to activate the reactor.

Attend Directorate Meeting

Attend the Directorate Meeting after speaking with Father. The other members will tell you of their plans to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel and no matter what you choose, their decision is final.

The quest will end after the meeting and will automatically start the next Institute quest.
