Tinker Tailor Stalker Spy: #691 ( Stalker ) Loner Kruglov Something Is Growling
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 return to the Wild Territory, with my two new Companions, meeting the same two Loners holding the Passage. Other than the three Freedom that got fried in the last Psi Storm, the Loners said they hadn't seen anyone else. They said it seemed like we had been gone an hour or so, before we returned now, and they were glad for the company.
I took my two Loner Companions just west, of where the two Loners were holding the Passage. As we got between the two buildings, one with shattered glass windows, I heard the groaning and growling of a mutant. It wasn't a Snork but it had been human, I think it was a Controller. I quickly left the area and took my two men back to the shelter of the Passage.
I returned to standing on top of the hood of the overturned truck. For now, I didn't not want to go investigate any further. It's one thing to meet some mutants out in the open, and others that are far more dangerous in an urban setting. Better to retreat to the Loner position and watch to see if any others passing would find the trap.
Next to me were the two Loners, who had set out from Rostok looking for adventures and artifacts. There were no artifacts here except those found on the dead. I had sold and given them better weapons, just to increase the odds of their survival.
