Detailed walkthrough[]

In the basement of the Malden Middle School, go through the Vault door and enter the elevator going down. After exiting, turn right, then keep going in that direction until encountering a door to the lab on the right-hand side marked SECURITY that needs an access card to be opened.

At the end of the hallway, one will get to the atrium. Go forward and turn right into a locker room to see another hallway at its end and inaccessible door to the lab from the other side. Go left, down the stairs and left towards a diner. Go into it and upstairs and get the access card from the tool case.

Head back to the second blue door and open it with the access card. The door in front of the player character leads to the first blue door, it is just around the corner to the left.

Go up the stairs and one will find yourself in a room going three different ways; go forward. Kill the Gunners and get the admin access card from one of them. Now the player character should be in a room with a view to the diner they have been to previously. A Science bobblehead is on one of the tables.

Backtrack to the lab room and use the admin access card on the door marked OVERSEER. Climb up a few stairs and one will be in the overseer's room. Activate the terminal on the desk to complete the quest.

Upon entering the overseer's room, on the right is their bedroom with a Grognak comic on the bed.
