Speak with Oberlin. He reveals that he maintains a strong allegiance to the US Army and continues to report on the status of Vault 63 to his superiors. He recently sent Daniel with such a report, but Daniel has gone missing. Oberlin wants you to find out what happened to Daniel and the report.
Head to High Knob Lookout, where you'll find a Blood Eagle camp. Enter the tower's basement through a hatch on the south side of the tower, next to a tinker's workbench. Inside, kill all the Blood Eagles and their leader, take the key from the leader, and use it to open the door on the left wall in the first main room. In this small room, you'll find Daniel's body. Collect Oberlin's report and Daniel's holotape from his body.
Oberlin's report details that Hugo Stolz is planning to make a dangerous move soon, noting that Stolz is looking to run tests for the weather machine. In the report, Oberlin requests backup from the military to protect Shenandoah from Hugo's plan. Meanwhile, Daniel's holotape reveals the reports Chief Oberlin has been sending aren't actually making it to the military, but instead are going directly to Hugo Stolz.
Head back to the Vault 63 atrium. Optionally, question Hugo about his misleading of Oberlin. If you do so, Hugo admits to it, but describes Oberlin as a work horse that requires direction, who would be lost without a purpose given to him. You can tell Hugo that you will reveal this to Oberlin, or keep quiet for a price. Hugo will strongly advise against telling Oberlin the truth.
Return to Oberlin. He notices you came back alone and asks you what happened to Daniel. You can tell him Daniel's dead, but confessed that the reports went straight to Hugo, or you can lie and tell him you filed the report to the army. If you tell the truth, Oberlin will ask for proof; providing him the holotape is sufficient. Oberlin is upset, but glad he can rely on you. He briefly reveals his anger with "I'm going to kill that..." but stops himself. Oberlin says it's best not to tell Hugo that you've told Oberlin the truth, and rewards you for your efforts. Once both this quest and Hugo's Oldest Trick in the Book have been completed, Gathering Clouds will begin.
