Tinker Tailor Stalker Spy: #712 ( Stalker ) Loner Kruglov Through A Glass Darkly
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: As far as I could tell, the Military Outpost was deserted. I didn't detect any heat sources from bodies or fires there. I find the Military's lack of presence there, to be very concerning, and another way contraband could get in and out of the Zone. I decided to stand sentry watch over the Rookie Village, by being on the roof of some of the houses, not expecting to be going anywhere.
* Game Note: I went to Flyover mode about halfway in the video, right at midnight. I first went south to the Military Outpost, where I was able to confirm it was not manned. I then went back north over the Rookie Village, noticing that the campfire I had lit, at the trailer camp was now out.
There was a PDA message about a Loner being attacked by Flesh at the Cordon Mill, but I knew from the far distance it was, that whatever was happening it would be over with by the time I sprinted there. At the Cordon Mill I saw a single Clear Sky member, so I went towards the tunnel nearby, that was in total darkness. When I suddenly saw a blast of psychic energy, I knew it was one of two types of mutants that could do that. Despite the total lack of light, I found it was a Karlik that was blasting the Flesh.
I'm sure the Loner was already dead, and it was fascinating to hear the Karlik making noises and talking maybe. It's very rare to get time with them, when they are not fighting men and mutants, so that is why I wanted to share this. For some reason the Clear Sky member from the Mill, ran down to confront the Karlik and was quickly killed. After this I ended the Flyover, where just a little over an hour had passed in this time.
