Keller Family Refuge

Keller Family Refuge refers to an unmarked quest in Fallout 3.

It consists of collecting five holotapes located around the Capital Wasteland to gain entry into the National Guard Depot armory bunker. However, one only needs to collect 4 out of the 5 transcripts to gain entry into the National Guard armory bunker. The tape that is not needed is Tape 1, which is found in the Pylon shack. It is also possible to gain entry to the bunker by exploiting a perspective glitch.

Tape 1
Travel to the VAPL-58 power station, directly southwest of Arefu, then head north following the electric towers until you reach the pylon shack (it's more like a fenced-in area at the last electric tower), where you will find the tape on the bottom shelf of the bookcase.

This tape is NOT needed to enter the bunker; as it does NOT have one of the 4-digit code numbers. It simply provides backstory for this quest.

There is also a mini nuke and pre-War book at this location.

Tape 2
Travel to Hallowed Moors Cemetery north of Big Town. Go in the front entrance of the church, and the second of five Keller family transcripts will be on the left on top of the podium. There is a captive inside, and a mini nuke on the table inside a wooden crate. There is also a Big Book of Science in the podium as well as a D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine on the shelves on the left before the captive.

Tape 3
Travel to the Grisly Diner and head inside, then go to your right and out the back. The third Keller tape is located on a desk at the back (outside).

The Grisly Diner is just north of The Temple of the Union or due North West of Canterbury Commons

Note: There are traps around the diner and there are raiders either in the diner or close by, if they aren't in the diner setting the traps off they will come attack

Be aware of a trap that swings from the ceiling activated by the pressure plate on the floor.

Caution: There are mines around the front and rear of the diner and raiders will also attack you.

Tape 4
Travel to Rockbreaker's Last Gas, directly north-west from VAPL-58 power station, then look to the left. On top of the hill, you will see the sniper shack, at the top of a cliff; it's the location of the fourth of five Keller family transcripts. Make your way around the cliff on the southwest side of the cliff (there may be some super mutants/centaurs along the way). Inside the shack, the tape will be on the workbench on the left.

Tape 5
Travel to Anchorage Memorial and head north-northwest. Across the river there is a semi-truck and a tent behind it. Inside the tent on the table is the fifth Keller tape, along with a wasteland captive.

There can be any type of super mutant (depending on the player's current level) and two centaurs there. A super mutant overlord only appears if you have the Broken Steel DLC.

Reward
Access to National Guard Depot bunker with a significant amount of notable loot such as:
 * Experimental MIRV
 * 5 mini nukes
