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: Escape From the Brain Scorcher.
Game Note: This starts from my last manual save, right after I blasted the zombies through the cracked door. After I got to the end with 25 Companions, I went back by myself to look things over and count all the dead. On the way back a rodent jumped me, apparently a new spawn and when I returned to my men 5 had fallen to the same. I reloaded my save before I left and intend to leave with the 25 survivors.
