I came across Covenant a while back and picked up the human error quest, I decided I'd wait to do the quest and continued on. Well I wanted to do the quest so I can start building Covenant as one of my own settlements but I found it in my quest list as failed. There is no way I could have failed it as I never attempted it. I searched and found some people talking about it on reddit saying they to failed the quest for no reason and it might be a glitch. I never go a notice or anything while playing saying I failed or anything.

Is there anything that can be done so I can get Covenant as my settlement? Please help as this is the place I wanted to build the most. Thanks.

Did you kill people at Covenant?

I think I read somewhere that it will cause the quest to fail if you shoot up a specific person in that settlement and also kill the other quest related person in the area you are looking for.

Could it be that you massacred Covenant to show them who tha boss is and then totally unrelated stumbled into the other quest area while exploring? :/

No I don't do stuff like that.
