Mechanic — briefing

Yesterday, someone was banging at the closed door in the kitchen. Sounds weird, right? I absolutely understand that this was impossible, but there was a sort of irrational fear inside me. Like when you're afraid of monsters under the bed as a child. I think such fears grow stronger the farther away you are from civilization. When you're among others, as part of the society, even if you find a monster under the bed, you can tell someone about it. But when you're alone in the dark every day, it doesn’t work that way. I’ll tell you what that "monster" was next time since the irregularities didn’t end with it. For example, someone’s jamming my signal, presumably from the Shoreline territory. It’s a hard trick to pull without powerful antennas. Try to look for satellite dishes, they most likely use something that looks similar. There should be at least two, about 400-450 meters away from each other.

Objectives

• Locate the first signal source on Shoreline
• Plant the signal jammer at the signal source
• Locate the second signal source on Shoreline
• Survive and extract from the location

Tactical notes

• The whole task stays on one map: Shoreline.
• You must extract alive — if you die, the progress is not saved.
• Bring the items for the drop with you — they are not on site.
• Unlocks only at trader loyalty: Mechanic to LL2.

On completion

Mechanic: I've checked the frequency, the signal is definitely being blocked by those towers. I just don't understand why would someone need that...
