I'm not a Mercenary. My name is not Kruglov. My job is to infiltrate whichever Factions that I choose, in order to investigate and track down the new prototype weapons and ammunition, that has entered the Zone. I have left the Bandit Faction to join the Mercenaries. I am the Tailor.

Encrypted Diary: We had returned to the Loner Base, my two new Mercenary Companions and our hostage rescue Loner. There was a good fog in the Cordon, that I hoped would hide us, on our way to Wolf who gave me the Search & Rescue task. I got my three Companions ready to go, and somehow through the fog, all the way across the road, the Military spotted us. They started shooting and I had to take the Loner and my two Mercs back inside.

Then the Military attacked. My Companions did not obey my commands to stay inside and one of my Mercs was killed, in addition to the Loner squad leader. After it was over, there were nine dead Military, with my Duty relations going from 0 to -390. Two more incidents like this and Duty would break the truce and become and enemy again. This was a terrible outcome that I had wanted to avoid, especially when I wanted to go to Rostok.

* Game Note: Before the trip to Garbage, I had been free to kill any Military, since their only ally was Duty, also my enemy, without damaging my other Faction relations. Duty had wanted a truce with the Mercs after wiping out the Military that had taken the Loner hostage. The DFR showed me the Duty score was 0. Now after defending myself against nine attacking Military, it had dropped to -390, which is just 600 points away from -1000, enemy territory. Any Faction relation in yellow, is in the danger zone.

This is a perfect example of the potential consequences of killing your enemies without regard to how it affects your other allies' relations, and why sometimes it is best to run and avoid a fight. Otherwise, you may find your main task no longer viable. My next video would be trying this same scenario, to get a better outcome.
