Tinker Tailor Stalker Spy: #533 ( Tailor ) Mercenary Kruglov Agroprom Aggravation
1I'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: As the sun was rising in the Marshes, I decided to risk taking my two Merc Companions north to the Agroprom, before an expected Psi Storm. When we arrived, my plan was to sneak behind the Military Base, and see if we could sprint along the western wall going north. If there wasn't a Military presence at the northern gate, we would be able to continue up to the swamp and on the other side of it was the designated location.
However, several things went wrong right away. The first thing I noticed, from the woods behind the Military Base, was a soldier was in the south-west corner watch tower. This meant there was no way to get past him, without killing him, and risking losing Duty as my new ally. That plan was out. While back there, we met a four-man Bandit squad that went east, and it got worse. The Bandits ran into a Duty squad and a firefight ensued, which the DFR punished the Mercs when two allies fight each other, with a big drop in the Duty Faction relations back into the negative territory.
* Game Note: I didn't want Doc's Pseudodog killed in his Cave, so I decided not to go there and instead go back to an earlier manual save. This was the one atop of the Marshes Water Tower about 5:30am. This video shows how several attempts to avoid the Bandit-Duty firefight, with the last part going into flyover mode to study the conditions that kept resulting in a negative outcome.
The next video will be trying another attempt, that end in success. The events in this video were shared just to show the complications the DFR can present to the Player. Sure, I could have taken the hit with Duty, but considering how long it's been since they were an ally, I want to go to Rostok.
