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.

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, easy to find, very hard to get out, the place is full of raiders, fortunately they are lousy at vigilance, the bad? they are a lot...

You can get there a nice amount of pre war money, food and Nuka-Cola.

if you keep killing raiders and searching you will get the key to the pharmacy and enter in there, there are a lot of meds, which are worth the risk, there is a capsule with a Protectron robot on it and a terminal (very easy) the password is CARDS it will cause the robot to be activated, it will say "breach of security detected" and will walk away. At the exit of the pharmacy you will have two raiders, one of them has a Chinesse Officer's Sword. The risk of getting in there is very high, but the loot is good.

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.

The next mission is to place an observer unit inside a mirluk nest, you need to go to the war memorial southeast of the super duper mart. Here you have to enter a maintenance tunnel to the tepid sewers where most of the nests are located. You will get the option to place the observer unit inside it.
