Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Initiating the Quest
Start your journey by heading to the U.S.S. Constitution. The ship is located at North End of the map, northeast of Bunker Hill.
- Once you arrive, you will find the ship surrounded by feral ghouls. Eliminate the ghouls to ensure a safe approach to the ship.
- Speak with Captain Zao, who is one of the assaulting robots, in front of the Constitution. He will request your assistance in crew recovery.
Investigating the Area
After accepting the quest, explore the deck of the ship. Look for any remaining robots, including First Mate and Communications Officer.
- Take note of their upbeat personalities and retro robot design, as you will interact with them throughout the quest.
Finding the Crew
Your main task is locating and dealing with the ship’s crew, which is initially split into two factions: The Mutinous Captain and The Loyalists.
- Head to the lower level of the ship and find the bridge. Investigate terminals for further clues on finding the Captain.
Navigating the Conflicts
As you step into the Cargo hold, you’ll confront hostile robots and may need to choose sides.
- If you side with Captain Zao, you must face off against these rebellious robots. You can use stealth to navigate if you'd rather avoid combat altogether.
Locating the Captain
Move towards the ship's forward area. Once you arrive, you’ll find Captain's cabin where you will directly encounter the Captain.
- There will be a confrontation; choose to persuade them or engage in combat. If your Charisma is high enough, an option to persuade both sides will open up.
Dealing with the Mutineers
Whichever choice you make will lead to different outcomes. You can choose to:
- Support Captain Zao and eliminate the mutineers.
  - This will earn Zao's trust and unlock new quest options.
- Help the Captain in negotiating peace which can also lead to a different ending.
  - If the latter, prepare to defend the ship from any attacks afterward.
Repairing the Ship
After dealing with the conflicts, follow the quest markers to find parts needed to repair the Constitution.
- Collect any screws, wood, or metal that you might find in the vicinity and return to the ship.
Finalizing the Quest
Once repairs are complete, speak with Zao one last time.
- Prepare for an epic cutscene where the Constitution departs for its maiden voyage.
You will be rewarded with the U.S.S. Constitution’s unique weapon upon quest completion.
