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: I realized that it had been a long time, since I had unloaded all the excess weapons, ammo and other supplies, that my 35 Companions were carrying. I was going to sell all the weapons, store all the ammo and place all the artifacts in a cross stash, just outside the northern checkpoint. This way I could still access the artifacts as needed, in case I was no longer a Loner and both the Loners and Duty might become hostile. That was the same reason why I had the car stash, down the main road at the southern checkpoint, just approaching Rostok.
