Learn about the Fort Atlas substructure… collect 3 documentation

Speak to Scribe Vadez
Go ahead and speak with her.
Run a diagnostic check
Use the Atlas Diagnostic Terminal next to Scribe Vadez and select “Run Diagnostics Check”.
Test the release valve
Turn the yellow wheel on the pipe.
Examine the wiring
Examine the wire box on the large cylinder in the middle of the room. After you examine the wiring, a horde of Mole Rats will attack!
Speak to Scribe Valdez
Go ahead and speak with her after you defeat the Mole Rats. When she asks you about the ion focus, say “misaligned”. For the release valve, we said “it exploded”. For the wires we said “Completely chewed through. Mole Rats are the prime suspect.”
Extract components from the ATLAS machines x3
Follow her up to the second level and collect the Ion Focus by “Gently unhook each tube and wire from the device and lift it out.” Access the Atlas Central Processing Terminal in the office and select “CPU Management”. Use the Intelligence option for the easiest removal. Alternatively, you can also select “Power Down and Eject CPU”. For the pressure gauge, you can use the Strength option or “Oil the screws to remove the rust and lift the gauge out.”
Extract the induction coil from the ATLAS machine core
Head to the induction coil on the large cylinder in the center of the room. If you have Luck 12+, use that option. Alternatively, you can select “Unhook both wires and slide the coil out.” You’ll get shocked but it won’t do much damage.
Extract the mysterious component
Examine the mysterious component on the large cylinder then “Gently lift it out of its container”.
Defeat the security robots
Defeat the robots that spawn.
