Tinker Tailor Stalker Spy: #743 ( Stalker ) Loner Kruglov Those Without Shelter
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: The Army Warehouses seems to be a very dangerous place. If you are outside the walls of the Freedom Base, in any of the open camps along the two roads, an Emission can sneak up on you too quickly. I don't know if it's due to the geography of the mountains, that shield the valley where the two roads meet. The northern road that goes to Dead City and the southern road coming from Rostok, meeting to converge before the Great Barrier.
For some unknown reason, on occasion when a Psi Storm or Emission sweeps through the Army Warehouses, those in the Freedom Base, Bloodsucker Village, Farmhouses or Cabins heed the warnings and are safe. Those on the roads get lulled into a false sense of security and before they know it, they can't reach any shelter in time. There is no shelter deep in the hills, ravines and valleys. This time there were many zombified.
The Great Barrier is not a physical feature of the pass through the mountains going to the Red Forest. The area of the Red Forest also known as Radar, and it is the gigantic metal superstructure, known as the Brain Scorcher, that transmits a signal so strong, those without protection will have their minds fried. That is the Great Barrier. In Soviet times it had a simple number X-19. This is the next mission that I am waiting on. The various Factions are all trying to gather their teams, to be the first one there. That is what Beard may want to talk to me about.
