Ant Misbehavin'

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Required objectives

 * Kill all ants in the generator room.
 * Restart the 2 array generators, then reset the main breaker.

Optional objective

 * Get the sonic emitter from Loyal, place it on the ant mound.

Required objectives
''Note: These Ants will explode and cause massive damage to the player if killed with most weapons including explosives, energy weapons, the ballistic fist, or the chainsaw. Regular ammunition guns appear to be fine.''
 * Kill all ants in the generator room.
 * Restart the 2 array generators, then reset the main breaker.

Begin by talking to Raquel to receive the quest. She'll inform you that there is an ant infestation in their communications array building.
 * Walk to the Array location near the Eastern side of the base.
 * Using the key Raquel gave you, enter from the West side
 * Take the first left and go down into the basement through the stairs
 * The first room of the basement, kill all the ants
 * In the second area, flip the two array generator switches on the East wall, and kill any ants
 * Flip the final switch on the stairs that you descended to get to the bottom floor
 * Once you have flipped all 3 switches and killed all ants, return to Raquel to complete the quest

Optional objectives

 * After receiving the quest from Raquel, talk to Loyal (in the barracks or hangar). If you can pass a speech or science check, you can ask him for the sonic emitter.
 * Locate the ant's nest, in the second area of the building (the dirt pile against the corner almost due south of the doorway and entrance ramp).
 * Place the sonic emitter on the ant's nest (don't forget to activate it!)

''Note: will not be available once Volare! is completed (the only speech option you'll have afterwards is "See you later"). Afterwards, this quest is impossible to trigger, and you cannot enter the building without the key.  Although some people have managed to trigger this after completing Volare!''

Behind the scenes
"Ain't Misbehavin'" is a 1929 song written by Thomas "Fats" Waller.

Bugs
When completing the quest, the terminal near the solar panels seems to magically disappear leaving no trace whatsoever.

When clicking on the 2 generators, you are suppose to use the last switch at the stairs to turn on the power but if you activate the 2 generators then use the sonic emitter you will be unable to complete the quest. The switch will become untargetable 4 out of 10 attempts.

When speaking to Raquel after completing all objectives, the only available option is "Goodbye", making it impossible to complete the quest. (Not true on --DJ Idol 06:12, November 2, 2010 (UTC))

After you kill all of the Ants and activate the 2 generators, you are prompted to return to Raquel to inform her of the done deed however the only dialogue option you have with her is "seeya later" making this quest impossible to finish. Loyal is also no where to be seen as is jack. This maybe a possible bug or may be due to the fact once you complete Volaire this quest becomes obsolete.
