With the Scorched Detection System back up and running in the Mire and Rose installing the communication uplink at the Top of the World, Abbie needs a master holotape she keeps in her desk taken to the Harpers Ferry Armory to fully reboot the Scorched Detection System. However, Harpers Ferry is overrun with super mutants, feral ghouls, and possibly even Scorched, so they will need to be dealt with to reach the armory.
At the armory, several automated turrets defend the armory, firing high-explosive rounds at anything they deem hostile, and the armory itself is like a big maze to reach Raleigh's terminal necessary to upload the master holotape into and download the routing schematics from it.
Once that is done, Abbie then requests the master holotape be taken to the Charleston Capital Building to download the access codes from Senator Sam Blackwell's terminal. However, feral ghouls have overrun the capitol building, and Blackwell's terminal is locked down by security that needs to be overruled from the terminal in the basement due to his allegiance to the Free States, marking him as a traitor to the United States of America. Once the lockdown is lifted, the access codes can be retrieved, and Abbie then requests that everything be uploaded from a relay tower.
Once the holotape is uploaded at any relay tower, return to Abbie's bunker to reboot the Scorched Detection System. Once done, Abbie offers some final words before the quest is completed, ending the Free States section of quests for the main quest line.

Load the Master Holotape in the Armory terminal
In a message from Abbie, she said I'd need to use the Master Holotape to get access to the Harpers Ferry Armory. I need to load the holotape into the Armory entrance terminal and run the Armory Access program.

Gain access to Sam's terminal
The access codes I need for the Scorched Detection Network can be found in Sam Blackwell's terminal in the Charleston Capitol Building, but it's locked down. I need to try and find the security main terminal to gain access.
?
Load the Master Holotape in Sam's terminal
I was finally able to gain access to Sam Blackwell's terminal. Now I just need to load the Master Holotape and run Abbie's scanning program to find and download the access codes.

Listen to Abbie
I successfully downloaded the access codes from Sam's terminal, and another message from Abbie started playing from her Master Holotape. I should listen to it and find out what's next.

Load the Master Holotape in a Relay Tower terminal
I've finally gotten the networking routing schematics and access codes for the Scorched Detection Network. Now all I have left to do is load Abbie's Master Holotape into a Relay Tower terminal to upload all of this data.
?
Upload the data
I finally found all the data I needed for the Scorched Detection Network and loaded Abbie's holotape into a Relay Tower terminal. All I need to do is upload the data on the Master Holotape.
?
Reboot the system at Abbie's Bunker
I was able to upload the data I gathered for the Scorched Detection Network on the Master Holotape through the Relay Tower terminal. Now I just need to head back to Abbie's bunker so I can reboot the system.
?
Listen to Abbie
I made it back to Abbie's bunker and rebooted the Scorched Detection System. Once that was complete, Abbie's voice came over the intercom system again. I should listen to it and see if there are any final instructions.
