Forum:SL3 companion died

Fallout3 no addons patched 1.7

There is the thing, annoying thing, I got SL3 and I'm using it as a pack-mule along with Dogmeat while traveling the wastes.

Doing the wasteland survival guide quest I went to the Arlington library, there I've ordered the SL3 and Dogmeat to wait for me at the entrance where the scribe and 2 other steel guards are, I drop on the some of the items I or SL3 couldnt carry on the moment 3x10mm pistol and a Hunter rifle, In the hope I still find them later.

Ran the place as usual but letting the steel fight first just to see if they win or loose so I could loot them, and following at the rear row as they seek and kill the initial radiers, at some point in the library media wing, there is 2 terminal to control some turres, on the 2nd terminal I saved as usual (quick save), and attempted to hack, with my save I tested some wierd stuff I will write on another thread if happens again, this locked the terminal, shortly I restored (quick restore), immediately after I got the message "SL3 companion died". I run towards the area where I left him and I find there was a battle in my absense. There is an ash pile just by the entrance door, with raider belongins, 3 (three) steel paladins dead, Dogmeat is still there with no injuries and the brotherhoold scribe, and no sign of SL3 or its broken corpse or my stashed stuff on him, some dropped weapons missing.

What the hell happened in here? My guess is, at some point of the area one (or more) raider came inside the library, maybe as backups for the ones fighting in, this started a fight where the raider was reduced to ashes by lazer weaponry, at combat mode one of them might hit my SL3 and they started to fight each other, or the paladin took one of the weapons I droppend in the ground (those weapons were in fairly good state, maybe the hunter riffle with better damage than a lazer rifle) and SL3 started the fight in the event of paladins stealing my weapons. He did not died easily, three paladins with along with a raider and the brotherhood scribe. Only the scribe survived the fight, and Dogmeat wich I suspect he didnt participated on it.

Wich leaves me with several questions Is this a game glitch? If so, why there signs of fight at the entrance?
 * How can I get my stashed stuff on SL3 back?
 * Is any way to repair it?
 * Where the hell the corpse went?
 * Could he begin chasing a fleeing raider out in the wastelands where he found its ultimate destruction? (I dont belive the SL3 is capable of running out from combat.)
 * Why this happens while loading the game in another map (media library) while SL3 was on the entrance?
 * Can SL3 be trusted to store things and go fight other maps or It's a sure loss?
