    When speaking with Prof. Lodochka, ask if he needs help with anything to start the A Sign of Hope mission.

Tips
  • To start A Sign of Hope, you need to have progressed through the main story up to meeting Strider for the first time and then speak to Prof. Lodochka.
  • If you showed the PDA in the Slag Heap during the Hot on the Trail mission, you can use the Ward Badge to enter Noontide Base easily. Otherwise, you may need to complete the A Heavy Burden side mission.
  • When deciding Kvashka's fate, sparing him results in a reward of 2,500 Coupons from Khors later, in addition to the mission reward from Lodochka. Killing Kvashka upsets Khors.
  • The antenna is located on the roof of Noontide Base.
  • After deactivating the antenna, return to Prof. Lodochka to hand over the Bear Detector.
