Quincy mission

[Guest]

In the mission where you are required to save the mayor, I received the key from the mayor and went to the roof to disable the siren. Problem is, I can't figure out how to do it. I tried flipping the switch, shooting the machinery, using skills on the machinery, and planting bombs by the gears. Nothing seems to work.

Just flip the switch. The red light stays on for whatever reason. Note that there are a lot of individual sirens around that can also sound, they just won't set off the rest of them.

Warning and slight spoiler below:





















Make sure you go back to the mayor after each sub-quest to get instructions. If you don't you will probably fail the mission. I ended up getting the "war hero" killed which seemed to mean that I couldn't complete the mission. (Of course, the game didn't bother to tell me this, the mayor just kept telling me that I wouldn't find the hostages in her room. At that point I had compleatly cleared Quincy of bad guys.) I had to redo the mission.
