Bugs

 * Teleporting into the institute wearing power armour with this quest active makes the player partially hostile to the institute, denying the player access to the elevator and not spawning any institute NPCs except Father. Reloading a save from before entering the institute for the final time and taking off the power armour is recommended, though the quest may be completable with copious abuse of tcl.
 * If the quest is never started (for example, if decided to destroy the Railroad instead), the rebel synths on the mining floor will still be there, non-hostile, standing and doing nothing forever.
