• This quest has reported some bugs:
  • All Platforms: As the Prydwen explodes at the end of the quest, Tinker Tom may be shot down by surviving Brotherhood scribes as he drops off your character. Desdemona will merely repeat, as a result of which The Nuclear Option (Railroad) will fail and the quest will be impossible to finish. Reloading an earlier save and eliminating the surviving Brotherhood members before they can shoot Tom down will fix this.
