(Ask Scribe Rothchild for pre-War computer access.)

The next objective is to ask Scribe Rothchild for pre-War computer access. He is located in the Citadel laboratory. Proceed across the courtyard to the laboratory door in the southwest corner of the courtyard. Then go speak to Rothchild, following the map marker to find him. He will give permission to use the Vault-Tec computer terminal in the archives, located in the A ring. While in the lab, make sure to grab the copy of Duck and Cover! from the bathroom.

(Use the Vault-Tec computer in the Citadel Archives to locate a G.E.C.K)

Up the stairs to a door in the southeast corner of the laboratory, leads to the Citadel A Ring. Once in the A Ring, head right to the Vault-Tec computer on the south wall. When going through the information on the vaults, the Lone Wanderer finds out that Vault 87 was issued a G.E.C.K. under the non-standard equipment list. This objective is now finished. While here, make sure to grab the copy of Guns and Bullets, which is in the room called 'the Den.'

(Ask Scribe Rothchild for information about Vault 87)

Follow the map marker to Scribe Rothchild. He may be in the courtyard. When asked about Vault 87, he says that he will reveal where it is. Follow him to the wall map in the Citadel Laboratory. There he states that Vault 87 can't be entered through the main entrance because of lethal radiation levels. A back entrance through Lamplight Caverns must be found. Map markers for all of the other vaults except Vault 112 (accessed via Smith Casey's garage), will also be received.
