The quest is given to the player in the Temple of the Union by Hannibal Hamlin . Hannibal wants to relocate his slave haven from the Temple of the Union to the Lincoln Memorial and restore the Memorial as a sign of freedom , despite the fact that it would undoubtedly attract unwanted attention . The quest is also given after speaking with Leroy Walker and killing the slavers at the Lincoln Memorial . Hannibal requests that the player scout the Lincoln Memorial to see if it is still occupied by super mutant s . Hannibal will also ask the player to assist former slave Caleb Smith . Caleb is a stonemason and will ask the player to obtain a picture of the Lincoln Memorial in the Museum of History , so he will have reference materials to help him restore the Lincoln Memorial . The Lincoln Memorial poster is on a wall next to a desk at the top of the staircase to the topmost level in the Museum of History offices area . Kill the slavers . After scouting the Lincoln Memorial , the player is required ( as an objective ) to clear the Memorial of all enemies , specifically the slavers currently occupying the Memorial . If the player enters the Memorial , the slavers will immediately become hostile and shoot the player , regardless of whether the player has the " Head of State " quest . Once the Memorial has been cleared of all slavers , the player can return to the Temple of the Union . Alternatively , if you have been to the Temple of the Union , the player can tell the slavers that the slaves are hiding out near Old Olney ( results in bad Karma ) . Side with the slavers . The first time the player talks to Leroy Walker , he will ask the player to find items related to Lincoln . The second time the player talks to Walker or after the player trades the first Lincoln item , Walker will ask the player to locate Hannibal Hamlin . If the player sells out the location of Hannibal , Walker will tell the player that they will be waiting for the player ' s help there . Walker and his slavers will then leave the Lincoln Memorial . Once you tell the slavers where the temple is , a battle occurs there if the player has not completed Caleb ' s section of the quest ( retrieving the poster ) . In this case the slavers will leave the memorial and run to the temple . It helps to fast - travel and do other things in the meantime as it can take the slavers over one in - game day to get there . Also , you need to speak to Leroy once he ' s near the temple to trigger the attack . He can be found waiting under the highway west of the Temple of the Union . Several slavers will also appear sneaking outside the temple immediately after its location is revealed , but most of them will likely be killed by random encounters before Leroy arrives . Note : during the battle both Walker and Hamlin can be killed , causing the player to fail the quest . You can also double - cross the slavers by killing them after selling out the slaves . Once the slavers are dead , you can continue on the original quest , helping the slaves . Escort Hannibal . When the player reports back to Hannibal Hamlin that there are no super mutants in the Lincoln Memorial , Hannibal will gather up the runaway slaves and head for the memorial . He will tell the player he and his team will start off within the hour . Once Hannibal ' s crew all leave the temple and travel a bit down the road the player can then fast travel to the Mall Northwest Metro Station , where Hannibal will eventually arrive . If you escort the group , you can , along the way , tell Hannibal to " Wait here , while I scout ahead . " He will wait for 6 game hours and then continue on his journey , with or without you . When you ' ve cleared a path for them , you can tell Hannibal " It ' s safe now . " and they will resume the trek . The waypoint will show that the player needs to meet Hannibal at the Mall Northwest Metro Station . Once the player speaks with Hannibal there , he will thank the player , the group will proceed to the memorial and the quest will be completed . Battle at the Lincoln Memorial . In the event that the slavers still occupy the Lincoln Memorial when Hannibal Hamlin and the runaway slaves arrive , they will ask the player to help them kill the slavers . If the player does not tell Hannibal to wait while they check it out , then Hannibal will lead the runaway slaves in an assault on the Lincoln Memorial . Hannibal is usually killed , which will terminate the quest . However , if the player tells Hannibal they will " investigate " the Memorial , Hannibal will wait . This method will allow the player to go into the Memorial and kill the slavers occupying the Memorial . Then , when the player reports back to Hannibal , there will be no one to kill Hannibal when he leads the charge and the player can complete the quest . Selling Lincoln ' s artifacts . The eight Lincoln artifacts can be sold either to Hannibal Hamlin , Leroy Walker , or Abraham Washington . Selling at least one artifact to Leroy Walker will grant you access to the memorial without being shot . Just ask him if you can peek around the memorial .
