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 was at the watch tower on the Red Forest Road, when they dawn slowly crept into the wet and foggy landscape. I shot a couple of rats, then I spotted two Monolith come from Pripyat, where I zapped them in the street. After running down to loot them and running back, I decided to head back to the shelter. There I found a lone Dutyer, waiting for me at the Bunker. He must have slipped in when I left the watch tower. No doubt General Voronin is very curious of our progress.
