Death From Above Death From Above is a " Fallout 3 " quest and achievement that is added to the game in the " Broken Steel " add - on . The Lone Wanderer is sent to assist a Brotherhood assault on an Enclave outpost at the southwest corner of the map ( west of the Dunwich Building ) , reached via the Rockland car tunnel . The satellite relay station is in a new area altogether and is heavily defended by Enclave soldier s . Walkthrough . Talk to Scribe Rothchild . The player character wakes up in the Citadel ' s clinic after completing the Take it Back ! quest and is greeted by Elder Lyons , who promotes them to the rank of Knight and gives a short overview of what happened during the two weeks they have been unconscious . He then requests they go see Scribe Rothchild for a more detailed briefing . Rothchild explains how the Brotherhood systematically attacked Enclave camps with the help of Liberty Prime , which has proven to be far more effective than expected . The objective of the mission is to learn how the Enclave are still able to communicate and coordinate their scattered forces , even though Raven Rock has been destroyed . It is believed that the Enclave - controlled satellite relay station might be able to provide answers . The Lone Wanderer is sent there to assist in the assault . Meet Paladin Tristan and support him during the assault . When arriving at the Rockland car tunnel , the player character is briefed by Paladin Tristan . As with Take it Back ! , Liberty Prime will take point with the Lone Wanderer and the other knights providing support . The first phase of the assault proceeds much like that mission , as the giant robot stomps implacably down a canyon , swatting Vertibird s out of the sky and crushing all " Communist " opposition in its path . When the Brotherhood force arrives at the relay station , Liberty Prime analyzes it for weaknesses and then punches a hole in its wall , allowing entrance . Soon afterward , however , he warns that an uplink transmission has been detected and that an orbital strike is imminent . If they do not stay back or immediately retreat to a safe distance from the robot , they will be killed . Liberty Prime is wrecked by the missile strike , managing to drag himself only a few yards with his remaining arm before shutting down . In the process , his head comes off ; like Deputy Weld ' s when Megaton is destroyed , it can be activated to hear some of his anti - Communist phrases , now slurred and garbled . Gather data from the Relay Station . The surviving Brothers regroup , and Tristan orders the Lone Wanderer to enter the base and find out what just happened . Assisted by a squad of paladins and Operations Officer Edwards , they must fight through many Enclave soldiers before finally reaching a computer room . Encrypted codes can be downloaded from the mainframe terminal . Return the data to Scribe Rothchild . The player character is then told to return to the Citadel and give the codes to Scribe Rothchild for further investigation . After lamenting the robot ' s fate , Rothchild takes the data and directs them to Elder Lyons . Talking to him finishes Death From Above and starts the next quest , Shock Value .
