Who issues: Proctor Quinlan

Tasks:

  • Talk to the Brotherhood squire
  • Accompany the scripter to a terminal in a random location
  • Protect the Brotherhood Scribe
  • Return to Proctor Quinlan

Locations to explore:

  • Cambridge Police Station
  • "Pridwen"

Speak with Proctor Quinlan and agree to accompany the Brotherhood Scribe on a research assignment. This conversation will take place right after you complete the Brotherhood of Steel quest "Business Trip". Show interest in joining the study group. Then find the Brotherhood Scripter at the Boston Airport. It is located near the airport gate, where there is a guard.

The essence of the research group is this: the scriptor collects data, and you protect it from any threat. Get to the location indicated by the scripter. It is worth noting that if the scriptor dies, not reaching the place and not completing the task, then the quest will fail. In this case, go to the last task - "Return to Proctor Quinlan". If you still managed to get through the harsh wasteland of the Commonwealth safe and sound, then destroy all the enemies in the location itself so that they do not kill the scriptor. Find the terminal and provide the scripter with access to it.
Even when the Scripter has finished collecting data, continue to protect it until both of you leave the location. If he dies, the data will be lost and the mission will fail. So leave the area and fast travel back to Proctor Quinlan. And of course, you will be rewarded.

Reward: Caps (about 100)

Below will be described the locations in which you may find yourself, as well as what you can find valuable in them.

South Boston Military Outpost

The military checkpoint is located slightly west of the South Boston area. This small location with a small bunker on the territory and a truck used to be a gathering place for the military, but now it is the place where the Gunmen gang is in charge.

There are few shooters here. Deal with the truck first. Inside you will find a bag with ammunition and weapons, as well as a "Fat Man" with a mini-charge to it. Then go to the bunker. There is also something to profit from in the bunker: a first-aid kit on the wall, in the corner there is a chest with ammunition and weapons, on a rack there is a box of ammunition, and next to the rack in the wall there is a safe (the level of the castle is very difficult) with ammunition, weapons and other things .

Clue

On the desk, located closer to the exit, lies magazine "Pistols and Bullets" issue 3. With it, you will open a new magazine perk or enhance an existing one, with which firearms deal 5% more critical damage. The entire list of magazine perks can be viewed.

Before you leave the military checkpoint, go around the corner and find a locked chamber with T-60b power armor, which can be opened using the terminal located nearby (the level is difficult).

The T-60 Power Armor is a favorite armor model of the Brotherhood of Steel and the Church of the Children of the Atom, so parts for it should be easy to find. You can take them by force if you are inclined to such methods, or seek out military bases and wrecked vertibirds and find parts there, which will be no less effective. The popularity of this model also means that you can find T-60 parts that have been custom painted by the previous owner.

Poseidon tank

The Poseidon tank is located in the west of the Commonwealth (on the edge of your Pip-Boy map), south of Fort Hagen, where you fought with Kellogg (the "Reunion" story quest). The location is teeming with wild ghouls, so be careful.

As soon as you enter, you will see a semblance of an office on the right, where the terminal is located. This terminal opens the door on the lower level (you will see it in front of you if you look out the window behind the terminal). Also in this room you will find a first aid kit (the level of the castle is easy).

But before you go down, go up. When you get to the very end, you can jump to the roof of the room where the office is located, on which you will find two toolboxes (the lock level is easy and hard). One of them will contain ammunition.

Now we go to the lower level through the door opened by the terminal. Ghouls and some of the finds are waiting for you inside. But first deal with the enemies, especially be careful with the luminous one, which can revive the ghouls you have already killed. You can lure him outside and set fire to the gasoline spilled on the floor by shooting at the floor. This will significantly weaken a strong opponent. Inside the locked room, you will find a first-aid kit in the toilet, and, going down the stairs, in the corner of the room, there is a chest with ammunition and a safe (the level of the castle is very difficult) with various useful things.

Surely, while traveling through the Wasteland, you came across various radio stations and calls for help, including the emergency frequency rj1138 in Fallout 4. It appears when you go beyond and the message that repeats there is looped like everywhere else, but that's just no task does not give.

The emergency frequency rj1138 in Fallout 4 is broadcast from a checkpoint located in South Boston - this is a military, closed checkpoint.

The message says that this place can be considered a refuge for all the military who demand it during the invasion of enemy troops and that civilians are not allowed to enter here.

What to do?

In fact, you can’t do anything, since the checkpoint is completely closed, sealed and contains nothing interesting inside. The signal comes allegedly from the depths and has been left on repeat since the bombings.

Emergency frequency rj1138 in Fallout 4

Those players who play on the console cannot remove the frequency from the list, for the PC versions there is such a solution:

  • Open the console through "~";
  • Enter the following line - prid f480d; disable;

After that, the signal will be disabled, but if you suddenly need to turn it on again for some reason, then we write the same thing, only at the end we change disabe to enable.

Why the developers added this signal is unknown, since it does not intersect with cut content or quests.
