National Guard Training Yard Distress Signal

[Saabre]

I went to clear out the ghouls in the yard like the nearby settlement requests and there is a distress signal going off. It's just a droning beep that gets stronger the closer you get to the mag-locked door leading into the place. I've tried to figure out exactly what is giving off the signal but I can't find anything. Am I missing something here. Also, there is a terminal that you can use at a desk inside the place that says it locks/unlocks a door, but what door is it refering to?

You should be able to find objects that are emitting the signal and turn them off.

You talking about the console that unlocks the National Guard Armory in that area?

[Jhemun]

Search inside the building.

[Saabre]

I have searched everywhere I can find several times and can't find anything.

Is that a different location?

No, should be in the same location (but outside), you will have to look around for it (I think that was the only computer I saw in that are that unlocked something that wasn't right nearby).

It's from the dead Bortherhood member inside. Go in and it should be in the back room, like a small office, past the locked gate and terminal. Unless you have to do the quest for the body to appear but I don't think so.

[Saabre]

I didn't see any Brotherhood guess I'll look again.

And yeah, finally figured out what door it unlocked. Thanks.

When you enter the National Guard Recruitment building, there's a room towards the right, signal source is there.

[Saabre]

Wow, I completely missed that entire room. Thanks.

The ghouls which attack from the stairs when you enter probably drew your attention away. The emergency signal went down in pitch as I went up the stairs so that was my clue that the signal was in the opposite direction.

Prepare some grape mentats for when you are about to finish this questline if you want the optimal ending.

Man, you're tripping me back to Half Life 2 and Ravenholm. It took me days to figure out how to escape that place. Years, technically.

HL2 was my very first STEAM game, and the computer I played it on was complete crap. Ravenholm is vaguely figure-eight shaped as a map. Deacon or Preacher or whomever he was tells Gordon to "go North". Well, that's fine and dandy: Gordon Freeman has no compass.

So, there's a door you go through to get out, but during the fighting a crate had fallen and blocked the door. I didn't know that, and went around and around forever trying to find North. Eventually I quit.

Maybe ten years later, I rebooted HL2 (on a much better computer), and STEAM had kept my save all that time. I still couldn't find the door until I looked up a walk-through. The graphics were improved on the new computer, so it was easier to see, but on lowest settings way back in the day, the crates looked like the doors, ugh.

There are BOS distress signals in 4 places.
No one cares. If you help them they say "get off my lawn!" so what's the point?
