Escape!

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

Pack your Bags
Well, it seems the world has gone straight to hell. Your Father has left Vault 101, Jonas is dead, everyone wants to kill you and radroaches have infested the vault. So it's a good time to leave.

Head straight forward to the desk and grab everything. If you want to travel light though grab the baseball bat it does the most damage of the melee weapons you'll find in the vault and it's a lot easier to kill radroaches with a baseball bat than a 10mm pistol or a BB gun. Equip the 10mm and head out the door. But watch out, there's a guard and 3 radroaches to the right. Hang back and the guard will kill them and he'll be weaker for it. So pop out and shoot him. You can loot the guard for some good armor. Note: there are several non-combat options here; for instance you can run past this guard while he is fighting cockroaches, and just keep running or talk Butch into saving his own mother and Butch will actually kill the guard for you.

Theres nothing down the right hallway. Head left, Butch DeLoria should come running down the hallway begging you for help. His mom is trapped with radroaches and he's afraid of them. If you help him either by talking him into killing the radroaches himself or killing them for him, you get Tunnel Snake Outfit which gives you a +5 to melee damage. You can also kill him and loot the jacket. If you just let his mom die he hates you, but doesn't attack unless you attack first.

If you help Butch, follow him to the left, if not head to the right. Follow the hallway right, go into the diner for low value items and 2 radroaches. Head straight forward, the reactor hallway is closed off.

Officer Gomez will run into you and tell you to leave the vault. Head down the hall to where Andy is torching radroaches, head into the room, past Stanley and into the back office, on the table is a bobblehead. Pick it up for a permanent +10 to your medicine skill. Head back out into the hall and to the Atrium.

Atrium Atrocities
When you enter the Atrium follow the hallway, you'll see two people rush some guards just to get shot to death. If you're running low on ammo, you can use them as cover to get close to the guards before killing them for ammo. Ironically however, there's nothing of use down this hallway, the door leads to the vault entrance and requires 100 lockpick skill to open. Make sure to pick up both the 10mm pistols; your pistols condition is probably pretty low.

Head back out the door and to the left, go through the door and up the stairs. When you reach the top of the stairs turn left and head into the large, open room. Head straight forward and through the door to the left. Security Chief Hannon will be inside the room. Once you've finished him off go through the door. When you turn the corner you'll hear Amata crying and talking to her father, the Overseer. You can choose to free Amata or not.

Good Friend
If you choose to free Amata, avoid killing her father or she gets very mad at you. The win-win way to do this is to just target and kill the guard and then put your weapon away (pulling him into the hallway if necessary because the overseer is very fragile). The overseer will then return to his room and not talk to you (didn't he want to talk to you?) and Amata will be happy. You can get the Overseer's Office Key, the Overseer's Technical Password and 3 stimpaks here. Check the locker on the left side of the room for another stimpak and the locker closest to you on the right has 38 10mm rounds.

Survival of the Fittest
If you choose not to save Amata, walk right past the room.

Pop the Cork
Head down the hallway and find the open door on the right. Head to the wall opposite the door, and use the water fountain to replenish any lost life. Then head into the room and loot Jonas corpse, take whatever you want. If you plan on hacking computers in the future make sure you loot the Vault Lab Uniform off of Jonas corpse as it provides a +5 to your Science skill. Loot the desk by his body and get the 8 shotgun shells.

Go into the room on the left. Turn left into Amata's room and search the dresser. Take the 5 bobby pins. Leave the room and head left. Search the dresser for a full clip of 10mm ammo. Take the Overseer's Office Key if you didn't save Amata.

Leave the room and head for the red door. If you didn't take either keys you have to deal with the lockpicking minigame. Search the locker closest to you and take everything, including the terminal password if you didn't loot it off the Overseer. Access the computer to try and hack it. If you have the password you'll log in, if you didn't you'll enter the hacking mini game. The password is "Amata".

Once you log onto the computer you can read through several files, that will help immerse you in the Fallout world. Or you can just select "Open Overseer's Tunnel". When you do, the desk will rise up, run around it to use the newly available tunnel. Follow the tunnel to the door.

Once through the door, you'll find yourself in a small room, head to the oposite wall and use the switch. Go through the hole in the wall and into the large room, walk past the stairs and use the control pad. Sirens will go off and the door will open. Amata will come down whether or not you saved her and say her goodbyes. After she's done, two guards will come in through a locked door. Kill them and head through the door. Head to the right and into the room, search the toolboxes and shelves for items. There's two other paths you can take, but neither have any purpose. Head back into the entrance, and walk out the vault door and into the Capital Wasteland!
