I'm not a Loner. My name is not Kruglov. My task is to infiltrate any Factions that I choose, in order to investigate and seize any of the new prototype weapons and ammunition, that have illegally entered the Zone. I have left the Mercenary Faction to join the Loner Faction. I am the Stalker.
Encrypted Diary: Colonel Petrenko gave me the task to meet up with some Dutyers and help them repel a large force of Mercenaries that have moved into the Wild Territory. I had released the three Dutyers and the two Ecologists, so it was just my 35 Loner Companions remaining. They were upset we were going to be on the move again, but I promised them we would be back in Rostok, before the sun went down.
