Agatha's Song
A short distance northeast of the Mersetti Train yard, which is due north of Megaton, is a small house.
Cross a narrow rope bridge leading into a small cul-de-sac. In this house lives a well-mannered old woman
named Agatha. Speak with her and you will learn that she is a musician.
Her current violin is homemade and not quite in tune. She longs for the Soil Stradivari violin built by
Antonio Stradivari in 1714, once owned by Itzhak Perlman and last owned by Agatha's great-greatgrandmother
Hilda Egglebrecht. Agatha tells you that Hilda managed to get into Vault 92 before the bombs
fell and took her violin with her. It should still be in good condition even after 200 years. Agree to help.
Agatha does not know the location of Vault 92. She suggests that you visit the Vault Tec Headquarters and
search their records. Use your Speech Skill or Ladykiller Perk to ask Agatha if there is any way she can help.
If you succeed, Agatha will give you the key to her ammo crate. Going to the Vault-Tec Headquarters can be a
profitable venture, but you need not go there to complete the quest. However, if you want to go there, find
Vault- Tec Headquarters in the northern part of the D.C. Ruins, north of Vernon Square.
The best way to get to Vault-Tec Headquarters is to Fast Travel to "Vernon Square North" metro station.
From there, you can see the Vault-Tec building. If you do not have a map marker for that station, then go to
Chevy Chase East metro station. Inside, go southeast along the tracks to the intersection. Turn east and go to
the stairway. At the top of the stairs, go north to the Vernon Square North metro station.
You will have to battle many Super Mutants and a variety of robots inside the Vault-Tec building. Go up the
south stairway and through the "Door to Vault-Tec Offices". Beyond the door, at the top of the steps, find the
next stairway up. Fight at least five robots while you find the next stairway on the south wall. At the top of
that stairway, destroy two turrets and a Protectron. Find another stairway up to the fourth floor. Destroy two
more turrets and another two robots. To access the mainframe, you must get Mainframe Station Access
Approval at three computer terminals. The first one is on this floor, System Operating Station 3. The other
two terminals are on the top floor, and so is the mainframe. It gives you the location of Vault 92.
Vault 92 is in the northeastern corner of the wasteland, northeast of the Minefield and east of Oasis. In the
room just beyond the giant round steel entrance door, find Professor Malleus's V92-01 holotape, the first of
six reports on the progress of his sound experiments on the inhabitants of the vault.
On the other side of the next door, watch for a Bloatfly, and a Frag Mine on the floor. The shortest route to the
violin is through the locked (average) east door. Disarm a mine on the other side of the doorway. Go down
the hallway into the next room and kill a Bloatfly. Open the door to the east. On the other side, kill a Bloatfly.
Follow the corridor down the stairs and go through the "Door to Sound Testing". On the other side of the
door, fight off four Mirelurks. They all attack you at once. Find Zoe Hammerstein's computer terminal and
the Malleus V92-05 holotape in the room with the Slide Projector on the east side of the corridor.
From where you entered Sound Testing, go down the west corridor. Turn down a left corridor (south), and
down some stairs. At the intersection, fight a Mirelurk and then turn left. When you can, turn left again.
Follow the hall to the Recording Studio. Watch for a Mirelurk Hunter or Mirelurk King guarding the studio.
Find the Malleus V92-06 holotape and log onto the studio computer to unlock the Recording Studio door.
