The following is based on Fallout 3 cut content.

In Fallout 3, MS07 is the Editor ID of a quest that was cut from the game.

The Editor ID itself is a generic descriptor that Bethesda Game Studios uses to mark side quests. For example, in Fallout 4, the side quest Detective Case Files is also given the prefix MS07. On this wiki, MS07 is used for this article's title due to the lack of further information.

Background

Very little information exists about MS07. All remaining info comes from several unused assets and script markers, as well as empty dialogue topics which are not implemented in any quest. A full list of these empty topics can be found below.

This quest would have involved Lyons' Brotherhood of Steel, the Brotherhood Outcasts, and their schism. The quest may have involved recovering an unspecified item or artifact, which Sarah Lyons would possibly come across at some point in the quest. Several unused dialogue topics include the word "Unity," suggesting a reunion between the Outcasts and the Brotherhood. However, some other topics also include the words "double cross" and "LyonsStrike," indicating it may have been possible for the Brotherhood to attack the Outcasts as a result of the quest, or that the Lone Wanderer could have betrayed one side or the other.

The quest would have involved a "Bureau of Special Affairs," a "Center for Extra-Typical Research," and a mysterious disk, all of which survive in the form of unused assets. The laboratory in the basement of Fort Independence has a position marker, MS07LabWaitMarker, indicating that location would also have been involved. This marker is related to unused AI packages for a cut Outcast, Specialist Aberdeen. Another position marker outside Fort Independence, which is used to teleport Protector Casdin outside after the Lone Wanderer starts The Outcast Collection Agent, also uses the MS07 prefix, indicating that sequence was originally part of this quest.

Some content involved with this quest remains in-game. Some of Scribe Bowditch, Elder Lyons, and Protector Casdin's dialogue topics which are used to talk about the Outcasts' conflict with Lyons' Brotherhood still have the MS07 prefix in their topic header, indicating they were originally implemented in that quest. Finally, the Pentagon library terminal in the Citadel has two references stacked on top of each other, both of which are identical apart from different reference IDs: the newer copy is CitadelArchiveTerminalRef (000B75F6) and the older one is MS07CitadelArchiveTerminalRef (000777AE). The first entry on that terminal, which talks about the Palandine UFO, has a newer base ID closer to that of the new terminal copy than the other two entries, which have similar ref IDs as the original terminal copy. This indicates that the Palandine entry was edited if not added later after MS07 was no longer implemented. Finally, an unused radio dialogue topic indicates that Galaxy News Radio would have had a segment included for the player's actions in MS07.

Unused dialogue topics

These topics offer some details about what might have happened during the quest, including the involvement of an "artifact" and an evident choice between reunifying or fighting the Brotherhood/the Outcasts.
