Political Leanings

Political Leanings is an Institute side quest in Fallout 4.

Detailed walkthrough
Speak with Justin Ayo in The Institute. He tells the Sole Survivor that Diamond City's Mayor McDonough is a synth and was put into place to monitor the evolution of The Commonwealth. Ayo periodically sends someone out to Diamond City to retrieve McDonough's report, and asks you to do this for him. After traveling to Diamond City and finding Mayor McDonough, he'll already have been informed that the Sole Survivor was on their way and gives him or her the report. Once the report is retrieved, the player will need to travel back to The Institute and give it to Ayo to complete the quest. Once given the report, Ayo can also be pushed, with a speech check, to give a reward. If successful, he'll give 100 caps.
