Detailed walkthrough[]

What Atom Requires is an overarching quest that has no actual target itself but serves as a checklist for a number of different Children of Atom side quests instead.

Finishing any of these quests also marks the respective optional task from What Atom Requires as complete. Once all active optional tasks are completed, What Atom Requires will be considered finished as well, resulting in gaining the appropriate reward in XP.

Note that only the first three tasks are given by default once the quest is started; the prompts to help Mai and Ware appear upon overhearing ambient chatter of random Children of Atom in the Nucleus, or simply by talking to the quest givers. Both related quests can also be done after What Atom Requires has been finished.
