I do plan to go through Murder Pass,but right now I am exploring and batteling many super mutants.
When I figure out if there is an alternate way to go or not,I will backtrack and explore lamplight better.
Wow.... I did not expect all this.Those are some tough kids,and that place is big.
It took a few tries for me to get the Mayor to let me in and find a home for the boy from Greyditch,he doesn't seem to happy though.
Maby I should have taken him to Rivet City.
The other boy is waiting in Megaton,when I finish Little Lamplight I will take him to Big Town.(I have a feeling this will be more than a simple thing)

I look forward eagerly to how you make out in Murder Pass. It's appropriately named!

OK...now I'm thinking...go home and geer up lol.
I will tell all on monday.
Cheers.

Maybe I souldn't break it to you but,

There IS another way! straight into the vault, bypassing Murder Pass. when ou fist go in ask the Mayor if Murder PAss is the only way in, and he'll tell you about a broken computer. find Joseph, he'll take you to it, and you can hack it to get in. (computer level average)

Yup,I ended up doing just that and so I kept going a bit further and ( Whaugh ) the Quest just svcked me right in lol.
Yup I finished and saved Project Purity.Ihave backtracked and am now starting murder pass,will finish it tonight or die trying.

when I woke at the citidal.my mutant friend was gone.I looked at the entrance of raven rock.at museum of histery,at project purity.
others won't join so he must be somewhere......h e l p.

Thankfully......he was still there in combat armor and a power helmet crouching in my bedroom.
he looked like a mini Darth Vader hehe.

I did finally go through murder pass.I got owned many times.....many.....many........times.
I may have missed out on something though.
The only way I could get in is probably where I should have come out......Instead I came out at the back gate of little lamplight.......Gate locked.
I had to backtrack to get out."Sigh" I wish I would have figured out how to get into murder pass at the bsginning....still....what a ride.
