The Distress signal is a localized radio distress broadcast that can be tuned into throughout a portion of the Commonwealth, in Fallout 4.
Characteristics
This signal is first discovered when the Sole Survivor activates the relay dishes at radio tower 3SM-U81. The source of the signal can then be tracked to a ham radio in the vault of the basement jeweler.
Transcript
Hello? Anyone? I'm trapped in the jewelry safe in Fallon's. If anyone is out there, please help. What's going on out there? I felt the ground shake, and nothing since. It's been... four days, I think? If you can hear this, please let me out! There's a button underneath one of the counters in the jewelry department. I'm so thirsty. Please - somebody - hurry.
