Wasteland Survival Guide (quest)

 is a Fallout 3 quest. It is also an Xbox 360 and PC achievement.

Moira, the owner of the Craterside Supply store in Megaton, wants you to help her research a guide to the wastelands that she is writing.

Contract Radiation Sickness
Moira wants you to get radiation sickness, 200 rads will do, but 600 rads (optional quest) will be great, when you do, she will experiment her remedies on you, and you will get cured, plus, she will give you some Rad-X and Rad Away, and they will be available to buy from her.

If you choose to get 600 rads, when curing you Moira remarks that you still have a "teeny, tiny, um, mutation". You also gain the Rad Regeneration perk.

Find food at the Super Duper Mart
Optional: Find medicine in the Super Duper Mart.

The mart is nearby Megaton and will appear on your map. It is easy to find, but filled with raiders.

At the front of the Mart, opening a refrigerator will trigger the first part of the quest.

At the back of the Super Duper Mart there is a pharmacy, one of the raiders having a key to unlock the door. Inside, a First Aid stash can be found, which is enough to complete the optional part of the quest. There is also a capsule with a Protectron robot on it and a terminal(very easy) which, when activated, will cause the robot to be activated. It will say "breach of security detected" and will walk away, attacking any raiders it encounters. At the exit of the pharmacy you will have two raiders, one of them has a Chinese Officer's Sword.

Moira will reward you with a Food Sanitizer.

Test the repellent on Mole Rats
Moira wants you to test her Mole Rat Repellent on some Mole Rats. To complete the objective, test it on 3 Mole Rats, but optionally you can test it on 7 more for more XP.

Place an observer unit inside a mirelurk nest
The next mission is to place an observer unit inside a mirelurk nest, you need to enter the Anchorage War Memorial. Inside, you will find several mirelurks, and a mirelurk nest. You will get the option to place the observer unit inside it. For additional rewards, don't kill any of the mirelurks while in the memorial. Moira will reward you with a shady hat.
