The settler will ask that the Sole Survivor clear the infestation for the safety of the settlement, before mentioning that the infested area would be a good spot for another settlement. To proceed with the quest the Sole Survivor must travel to the settlement and talk to their leader, who will give the details: a nearby area has been infested with hostiles that are threatening the settlement. Alternatively, the quest may be obtained directly from a settler even if the Sole Survivor has not joined the Minutemen (this occurs more frequently at unowned settlements). The Sole Survivor is informed that a settlement needs help, with the details available from the settlers. After joining the Minutemen, this quest can be periodically obtained when talking to Preston Garvey or listening to Radio Freedom.
