After receiving some explosive charges from Deacon, board the Vertibird. There will be voiceover banter between Deacon and Tinker Tom as the latter flies the Vertibird to the Prydwen. After initially only getting the aircraft to spin, Tom proceeds towards the Prydwen. There is nothing much to do here except watch the Commonwealth scenery go by and occasionally pick away at targets with the onboard minigun. Eventually the Vertibird will dock with the flight deck of the Prydwen. From this point there are three options for accomplishing the task:
Infiltration\t
Deacon gives the Sole Survivor a BOS uniform prior to boarding the vertibird. If worn when landing, the inhabitants of the Prydwen will not be hostile on arrival, however if the player character encounters any leaders of the Brotherhood they will challenge the player character's purpose. This requires the player character to pass difficult dialogue persuasion checks to avoid turning the Brotherhood NPCs hostile. There is also a "double infiltration with Deacon" technique. If Deacon is the player character's companion he will not give them the BoS uniform, but will instead wear it himself as a disguise and will sit in a different part of the Vertibird. If the player character has both Deacon as a companion and equips a BoS uniform before boarding the Vertibird, then Deacon will participate in the infiltration on the Prydwen. At least one BoS uniform should be available inside the police station or the front approach. Deacon reacts favorably to ("loves") most of the choices during the first persuasion check on the Prydwen. This is the most peaceful option and can be completed without taking any damage whatsoever. However, with this method the player character will never encounter Elder Maxson and therefore cannot obtain Maxson's battlecoat or Final Judgment.
Stealth\t
It is theoretically possible to sneak all the way through the Prydwen without being challenged or directly attacked, though the Brotherhood NPCs will still become hostile at some point during the mission.
Assault\t
•This is the second time the line from "The Star Spangled Banner" has been an achievement in the Fallout series, with an achievement of the same name in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road related to the weapon, Red Glare.
•If one has completed the quest Duty or Dishonor and convinced Initiate Clarke to turn himself in, he will be in the prison cells of the police station. The player character can free him by picking the Novice lock on his cell door and he will run away.
•After completing this mission, speaking with Drummer Boy will unlock the ability to call a Vertibird via signal grenade.
•Many Brotherhood NPCs will state random lines, often as one walks by them, mentioning the player character's rank in the Brotherhood of Steel as if they were still a member of the organization and not an enemy of it. This dialogue occurs despite successful efforts to disguise the player character's identity. Brotherhood NPCs will also speak bitterly of their defeat in the previous quest, Precipice of War.
•Companions are "soft dismissed" after planting all three bombs so they can't be commanded to stay on the Prydwen. This can allow some companions flagged as non-essential to be killed.
•If one has completely cleared the Prydwen of named NPCs, the conversation between Deacon and the Prydwen's flight control will not occur.
•PC Playstation 4 Xbox One Sometimes, after boarding the Vertibird, it will fly off straight to the southeast or north without stopping, bringing you off map. Seems to be linked to the "Escape the Prydwen" quest flag, which wasn't 'checked off' during bug when encountered, this may also happen if the Prydwen hasn't arrived due to leaving Fort Hagen through the wrong exit.[verified]
•PC When attempting to get back onto the Vertibird to escape the Prydwen after planting the explosives, occasionally the animation will not trigger and it will become impossible to select the Vertibird to board it. [verified]
•It may be fixed by moving to the correct distance from the Vertibird, as the animation doesn't trigger if the player character is too close to the Vertibird.
•Alternatively, entering and exiting the Prydwen can fix the problem.
•PC Using a weapon with the legendary 'Kneecapper' effect against the attacking Vertibird will instantly destroy both of the flyer's turbines but at the same time make it impossible to destroy completely. The Vertibird will then tumble around erratically for some moments before resuming its attack indefinitely, thus preventing the mission from progressing to the next stage. Use any other available weapon to avoid this bug.[verified]
•PC Playstation 4 Xbox One When dropping off the player character towards the end of the quest after the Prydwen explodes, Tinker Tom may be shot down by remaining Brotherhood scribes. This will cause The Nuclear Option (Railroad) to fail and Desdemona will only repeat the line "Don't wait too long. The Brotherhood could be back in here any minute," making the quest impossible to complete. This can be fixed by reloading an older save and killing remaining Brotherhood members before they can shoot down Tom.[verified]
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from the "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a poem written by American lawyer Francis Scott Key on September 14, 1814, after he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812.
The Rockets’ Red Glare: Francis Scott Key’s ‘Star-Spangled Banner’. In this article, Blaine Taylor covers the background of Francis Scott Key's famous contribution to American history. Lawyer, poet, and Maryland militiaman Francis Scott Key (1779-1843) was born in Frederick County, Md.
Francis Scott Key, a successful 35-year old lawyer and amateur poet, witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry from an American ship anchored about eight miles away in the Patapsco River. A Maryland native, Key had a successful law practice in the District of Columbia.
Rockets Redglare (born Michael Morra; May 8, 1949 – May 28, 2001) was an American character actor and stand-up comedian. He appeared in over 30 films in the 1980s and 1990s, including a number of independent films and mainstream films, such as After Hours (1985) and Desperately Seeking Susan (1985).
The Rockets That Inspired Francis Scott Key. We know they had a “red glare,” but what kind of rocket did the British fire in 1814?
