I left the Malachite Repair Facility with all the loot I had acquired from the Bandits and the Emission dead. It was still raining as I went north and I went to the Spark campfire first, as usual, for the backup in case I am chased by hostile men and mutants. When I got back inside STC Malachite, I made 46,323 coupons from the repaired weapons. I went back outside in the rain, where my HUD turned red again at the south gate. Again, I could not find or see what mutants were out there, but I suspected Bloodsuckers watching.
I went around probing for any mutants but found none. I even went into the gates of the abandoned complex next door but found no hostile men or mutants. I went around to the Spark campfire and when I went past the Bubble anomaly at the broken wall, there was a Loner walking around inside the large electrical anomaly field. I watched him as he was probing around, probably looking for an artifact, and he made the fateful decision to get too close to the center and was electrocuted. I was able to loot him and also grab a Snowflake artifact. There was a Snork attack at the Spark campfire without any loses of Spark. After a while the rain stopped. I watched the night slowly fade away as the dawn slowly crept in to STC Malachite.
