Forum:Early G.E.C.K. retrieval - now stuck!

I was in the middle of the "Waters Of Life" quest when I decided to take a break from the main quest and do a little exploring. I eventually stumbled into Vault 87 (not by way of Murder Pass) and retrieved the G.E.C.K. I got back into the main quest and got to the "Finding the Garden of Eden" quest, and I'm being told I need to enter Vault 87 (which I did again, through Murder Pass) and retrieve the G.E.C.K. (which I already have). My problem is even though I have the G.E.C.K. in my inventory my quest isn't recognizing that I have it. I've tried exiting the Vault to see if the Enclave shows up, but nothing happens. My quest just keeps telling me I need to retrieve the G.E.C.K. from Vault 87. Anybody ever had this happen and figure out a way out short of reloading a previous save (I'd have to go back about 15 hours before I would be G.E.C.K. free)? Wollen 23:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Try freeing Fawkes. That might advance the plot, if not try restarting the game :( --Streetbackguy 23:44, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
