Well, tell one of your followers to step inside the purifier, or do it yourself. Fawkes or Charon are good choices since they’re immune to radiation.

When you wake up you’ll get a quick debriefing on what happened.  Make your way to the courtyard, loot the [AQUA PURA CRATE] on your right for 12 Aqua Pura, and meet with Scribe Rothchild in the Laboratory.  After the full debriefing, set foot on The Wasteland and make your way to the Rockland Car Tunnel, which is located on the very southwest of the map.

When you’ve found it, go on and head inside as there is no loot of interest outside.

Rockland Car Tunnel:
Turn around the corner and head inside the storage room.  You can find [5x AMMO BOXES] on the shelves here.  Continue down the corridors until you reach a large cave with several Brotherhood of Steel Knights.  Talk to Tristan and you’re ready to go. Before following Tristan, check the western wall for two [ENCLAVE CRATES], as well as the NW corner for a [GRENADE BOX], a [GUN CASE] that looks like a metal box, and a pile of Enclave Soldiers you may want to loot.  Snatch the medical supplies from the [FIRST AID BOX] on top of the crates to the east before following the crowd down the NE tunnel.

Sattelite Relay Station:

Liberty Prime is a valuable asset to the Brotherhood of Steel – and thus to you. Clear the Enclave with his help and make your way inside the Sattelite Facility. This Video does contain a SPOILER, so be warned.

This zone is separated from The Wasteland, similar to O:A and The Pitt.  Simply wait for Liberty Prime to take out the blue shield to your right and follow the straight road.  Let Prime and the Brotherhood destroy the Enclave Troops while you assist in looting their corpses, and watch the big event.

NOTE: SECRET WEAPON: TESLA CANNON (PROTOTYPE)

Did you know there actually was a secret Prototype Tesla Cannon in this area? No? Well, you’re actually not supposed to get it since it was a developers tool, but this video breaks you from the Matrix and sends you “flying” straight to all the awesomeness.

There’s a hidden weapon to be found in the area of the Sattelite Relay Station.  After Liberty Prime has smashed a hole in the building, walk past this hole without entering the actual hole, and walk past a few pipes.  Check the rocky ledges to your right, just around the corner.  Well, we’re going to have to climb that in order to reach the hidden weapon - which was probably used by the developers to test the new Tesla Cannon in Broken Steel.

To climb this ledge, jump on the ledges and press forward as much as you can.  Save your game and reload this savegame.  While the game is loading, rapidly tap jump and press forward. If done correctly, the game allows you to jump while you’re standing on the ledge, and you’ll climb a bit higher everytime you do this.  It won’t work everytime, and you might want to change direction every now and then, but you’ll eventually reach the top.

Simply head past the sattelite towers, ignore the glitchy terrains and move back to the beginning of the area while staying on the higher ground.  The [TESLA CANNON] can be found on a table with three [AMMO BOXES] next to it.  While it’s pretty much the same device as the Tesla Cannon, it looks like a Missile Launcher and expenses Missiles as ammunition.

After this, head through the hole that Prime punched in the building to enter the Sattelite Facility.

Sattelite Facility:
It gets messy in the room as you enter, but plenty of Brotherhood assistance makes this a fight you can’t lose.  Move in the southern tunnel and defeat two more Enclave Soldiers in the locker room - which houses no more than a [FIRST AID BOX].
Head through the double doors at the end of the tunnel and swipe this area clean from the Enclave.  This will - yet again - be a breeze with the help of the Brotherhood.  Continue through the western door at the top of the stairwell when you’ve done so.

Watch out for more enemies as you head through the tunnel and down the stairwell on the south.  At the very bottom, proceed down another big tunnel and wipe it clean.  You’ll come across an [AMMUNITION BOX x3], and one more [AMMUNITION BOX] can be found in the room at the end of the tunnel.  Head upstairs, proceed down the hall and prepare for an encounter with another Enclave Squad.  After this fight, unlock the (Easy) door on the east to reveal a restroom housing a [FIRST AID BOX] (and a sink, if you’re into those).

Head down the tunnel and you’ll get to a room with mainframes. Activate the Sattelite Uplink Terminal and retrieve the Telemetry Data before continuing.  Loot the [FIRST AID BOX] and press forward through the corridor, which the Enclave secured with two Mark V Turrets.  When you’re back in the Wasteland, fast travel to the Citadel and report to Scribe Rothchild and Elder Lyons respectively.
