Rescue Initiate from the Hub

Rescue Initiate from the Hub is a side quest in Fallout.

Walkthrough
A Brotherhood of Steel Initiate has gotten himself captured in the Hub by Decker and imprisoned in Oldtown. He's being guarded in a building directly to the right of where the player enters Old Town by several rough guards who carry the equivalent of a platoon's worth of firepower. They will shoot on sight, and can easily take out a low-level character with minimal effort.

There is a total of four guards inside, one of whom carries a combat shotgun. The guards can either be attacked through the front door of the house or shot at through a window on the northern wall of the building.

The Initiate is held behind a locked door in the rear of the building, making friendly fire not a concern. After the initiate is talked to, a nice reward waits in the BoS base with Talus.

Reward

 * 1500 XP
 * A choice of:
 * A laser pistol
 * A rocket laucher
 * A super sledge
 * Power armor (one of only two sets in the game which can be obtained peacefully, requires a positive karma rating).

Behind the scenes

 * Upon entering the ambush house, sometimes one of the thugs will say "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?". This is a quote by the Jack Nicholson portrayed Joker in the 1989 movie Batman.
