I went south of STC Malachite, staying just off the main road and along the bluff wall, until it curved east near an elevated pipeline. I followed along the pipeline until I found a tree branch to get to the top of it, that took me to the railyard. There was a Ward campfire nearby, and after I got down on the tracks and up in a railyard tower, I had a pack of Snorks attack me.

From there I continued up the hill and then a little to the west, where I found a circle of large boulders, with a strange structure in the middle. A zombified Stalker was guarding it, that I easily dispatched. I found a Monolith device inside the structure, and it appeared active. I debated whether I should destroy it, being like the one I recovered at Mindscrew in the Cordon. I decided not to do that for now.

I heard gunfire nearby and did not know where that was coming from. To the west in the thicker woods, I killed a lone Flesh. It was the survivor of a Loner massacre I found just beyond it. There was several dead Flesh among the dead Loners. I continued on as the hill sloped down and I went a little way on but got the feeling I needed to turn back. That is when the Boards attacked.

I heard more mutant noises in the woods, so I turned around and then headed back to the northeast, returning to the trainyard. I discovering I was being pursued by a herd of Flesh, of which I threw a few grenades, before they crossed the tracks and came after me. I killed them near the Ward campfire and then I continued eastward, going down the slope to the nearby Malachite Repair Facility, where I joined Duty fighting some Bandits that tried to do a sneak attack.
