He already my follower btw.

Are you planning on joining and allying with the Brotherhood permanently?

If you ARE, and you can get up to the blimp, turn the mission in to Kells instead. It will give a much better reward, however it will also basically force you into the bos line.

IF a companion is the target of a quest, try dismissing them. Then talk and after whatever, have them join again. I know this is true of Hancock I assume its true of others. I know I had trouble turning in Memory Interupted to Desdomona while that Signal Interuptus thing is hanging .

Edit: If I prayed, I would pray this gets fixed in Starfield. But I am thinking it won't.

Ok thanks imma try that

[Zekiran]

Yeah that actually seems like it should work, companion AI sometimes does weird things. Please get back to us if it worked!

It didn't work when i dismiss him and talk to him again he just says "Ready to continue the mission soldier" and shows the typical trade talk or accept him into the group again but no option to report about the lost patrol mission. ;(

I have a vague memory of turning it in to him on the Prydwyn. I don't think its an option if you aren't a Fully Inducted Member of the Brother Hood (Post Reunions and Semper Vindictus.) If the main brotherhood hasn't arrived I don't think its much completable Beyond talking to Brandis in the Bunker.

That is just speculation though. I don't really follow the BoS storyline (and I only really did it once part way, looked around the ship, did a few fetch quests. Abandoned that Playthrough.
I think I did get some quarters so at least that far.).

You can't get Danse as a follower until after the Prydwen has arrived. And if the Prydwen has arrived, you turn that quest in to Kells and not Danse. You can only turn it in to Danse itself if you do so before the airship arrives.

[Zekiran]

I did have issues with this specific quest myself. I'd found the dead guys and finished the quest before even talking to Danse at the police station.

This is what the fandom page has to say about this bug, it might be what's happened here?
-- If the player character puts off completing this quest until after Paladin Danse has become a potential companion, they may be unable to turn the quest in as he will only offer companion dialogue options. However, after "Show No Mercy", the mission turn in will change so one can talk to Kells, allowing for completion.--

I think I had to just nudge it with a console command to finish it, which at this point since dismissing him didn't work and you don't necessarily want to work with the BoS yet, I'd say maybe just hit the ol console. If you are on survival mode this won't work obviously.

Open the console and type in

getstage BoSM01

It will tell you what stage your quest is actually at.

Ideally you want to be at 90 to 148.

If it's at 150, and if you're not planning on killing anyone here (you can sometimes kill brandis but I never like doing that) you can use

setstage BoSM01 200

And it will just finish up the quest. You might be able to then return to the bunker if you eventually choose to join the Brotherhood and convince him to go with them.

If the Prydwen has arrived see Commander Kells.
I think Danse only accepts the turn in before the Prydwen arrives.
Danse may accept the turn in if Danse is on the Prydwen?

There is three different rewards for the quest depending upon when you turn it in and to who.
Danse pre-Prydwen
Danse post-Prydwen (after Brandis returns to Prydwen)
Commander Kells

If you speak to Brandis aboard the Prydwen before turning in you get a Bloody laser rifle.

Oh really can u give me a lil hint on wich mission name i can do that? cause im definitely betraying them lol i want to join the Minutemen instead

[Zekiran]

The minutemen are already your faction if you do Preston's missions, and take the Castle.

You can just walk away from the BoS and ignore their missions, and at some point down the line, when you're involved with the rest of the factions including the Institute, there will be a specific moment when you MUST choose one over the others to be your 'main' faction. Any time up until then, you are basically working all of them (well, the three, RR, BoS, Institute) against one another with the solid backup of the MM always there.
