When do I meet T. Tom

[holmdt]

I open his terminal but did not read anything. I talked to PAM and a few others. I did look around. Did I not check an area? I just got to Bunker Hill for the first time and talked to my contact and looking around for a bit. Should I have read T. Tom's notes? Will I meet him at some point latter?

If you mean Tinker Tom, he's almost always at the Railroad HQ. I think there are only two times when he leaves the HQ, and they're to do quests with you. During The Molecular Level, he'll temporarily relocate to Mercer Safehouse, a Railroad-aligned settlement that you establish. Later on, he accompanies you on a mission to blow up the Prydwen.

If you're aligned with the Railroad and can't find Tinker Tom, check the beds in Railroad HQ. He seems to sleep at odd hours, and Railroad members seem to chose beds at random. If you recently completed The Molecular Level, it's possible that he's slowly walking back to Railroad HQ. If you agreed to blow up the Prydwen, he should be waiting for you near the police station.

If you're hostile to the Railroad, you may need to check the rest of the church to see if maybe the character moved around a bit during combat.

I just joined the Railroad. Everything I head about him seems like I person I should get to know.

It would be good to talk to him. He gives Radiant quests, sells unique equipment, and has some funny dialogue. Check the HQ, in the same room as Desdemona. You can see a picture of him on this wiki page[fallout.fandom.com].

Another Railroad memeber will run to you and say to go see Tom to get his quest line going. You m ight need to do the initial quests given after completing Trademeet. Was it Drummer Boy ? Runner Boy ? Hmm...

Yeah once you're fully involved in their arcs Drummer Boy will come up to you *every single time you enter the building* and give you info.

Pam, Tinker Tom, Carrington, and occasionally Des will ask for help each of those times.
