- 0:54No. Without going into detail, I
- 1:28must say I have never seen anything like this before and
- 1:32the encephalogram suggests serious damage to the nervous
- 1:35system, but the other indicators couldn't be better.
- 1:38It's it's astounding. Perhaps it has something to do
- 1:42with the initial? Most certainly, although so far
- 1:45I've been utterly unable to formulate a rational explanation
- 1:48for this. Have no matter.
- 2:11That's good. Welcome back to the world of the
- 2:21Living Stocker. How are you feeling?
- 2:24Do you remember what happened to you in the joking murder that
- 2:33bones Well for your recovery? I'm Lebedev, the group leader.
- 2:37And I'm responsible. For everyone here, that includes
- 2:40you for as long as you're here. They call ourselves Clear Sky
- 2:44and you are in our base right now.
- 2:46They pick you up in the swamps after the emission.
- 2:50Lucky and that the facts are these you survived the emission.
- 2:55That's the first thing I still can't explain.
- 2:58The second thing is that our patrol found you in the swamps,
- 3:00which are essentially endless quick sound.
- 3:03And thirdly, you nearly got torn into shreds by a pack of pseudo
- 3:07docks, but our boys got you out just in time.
- 3:11Such a chain of events tells me it's more than just luck.
- 3:15Anyway, I need to finish what I'm doing, so let's continue
- 3:19this conversation later. Welcome back from the after
- 3:54World. Hello Mark, You became quite a
- 3:57legend while you were out of it. Even you wouldn't believe some
- 4:00of the rumors have heard. Anyways, here's a drink on the
- 4:05House for a lucky son of God. It should help you relax and
- 4:09tell me about your adventures because I'm just dying of
- 4:12curiosity. Well, then you dream.
- 4:22Cannot tell you about this place.
- 4:25It used to be pretty quiet. We had the paths worked out, the
- 4:29right place is explored and the approach covered.
- 4:32Of course, the swamps ain't exactly spring break beginning,
- 4:35but it wasn't too bad either. Yeah, it wasn't too bad until
- 4:40the lasting mission. The biggest we've ever seen.
- 4:43These days, our boys pray both to God and the devil before
- 4:46going out of the base was getting back alive.
- 4:49It's a miracle in its own right, but we're managing to hold it
- 4:53together because our guys in here for look, they're fighting
- 4:57for A cause. I was collecting bottles one
- 5:01after another, and they let me here.
- 5:05I'm kidding. The truth is, there was no place
- 5:08for me that he didn't want me. In the end, I came here first to
- 5:13the zone and then 2 clear skies. The guys here are all right and
- 5:17I need it here. They come back here after a
- 5:20mission. I call them a drink and a few
- 5:22dirty jokes and my job is done. Simple but.
- 5:25Effective. By the way, they call me Cope
- 5:29around here in our base. As you can see, it's a small
- 5:37sinking farm state in the middle of romantic endless swamps.
- 5:42I couldn't tell you where it is exactly, but it's the last place
- 5:45in the zone where you can meet real people.
- 5:48Guys who won't screw you, stab you in the back corner, let you
- 5:51bleed to death to save a mad kid.
- 5:57You know why you've never heard of him?
- 5:59Because too many people want to know about him, and the fewer
- 6:02that do, the better. Lebedev is our leader.
- 6:06The man is a rock if ever I've seen one.
- 6:08He's the glue that holds our whole group together.
- 6:11Then there's been polite professor people.
- 6:14He's like a walking encyclopedia, and the calculator
- 6:17in one knows more about the zone.
- 6:19And well, anyway, our technicians called Grey.
- 6:23He can make you a rifle out of an antique can, with ammo to
- 6:26boot. He could use some Spears, but.
- 6:28Apart from that. And finally, we have Susslaw.
- 6:32He's a trainer, but he ain't like the others of his train.
- 6:36He won't try to RIP you off or. Screw you.
- 6:38He knows what's in. The mark alone with your dirty
- 6:40jokes. I need to see him.
- 6:43Well brother, if Lebede says he needs to see you, that it up for
- 6:47a discussion. Go up, I'll catch you later.
- 7:36Got some fresh air. You look better, that's for
- 7:39sure. Let me fill you in on this
- 7:41situation. You're in the Clear Sky base.
- 7:44Don't try to remember who we are.
- 7:46You've never heard of us. And there's a very good reason
- 7:49for that. Our mission is to research the
- 7:52zone. We believe that the zone must be
- 7:55studied and understood so that humanity knows what it is facing
- 7:58here. Understanding is the key to
- 8:01coexisting with the zone because if you think about it, the zone
- 8:05is the most wondrous phenomenon humanity has been confronted
- 8:09with in its entire history. As I said, we are researchers.
- 8:17We are trying to figure out the nature of the zone, determine
- 8:20the reasons which caused it to appear, and formulate the rules
- 8:24that govern its existence. We are not consumed by a quevest
- 8:28for money, we don't seek fields of artifacts, and we're not
- 8:31interested in turf wars with other factions.
- 8:35That is why we're hiding here in the swamps and concentrating on
- 8:39our research. Our Forte is not combat, but
- 8:43knowledge. Knowledge of this zone
- 8:45accumulated over years of research.
- 8:49We know more about it than stalkers and the government
- 8:51combined, and our research was finally shaping up into a sound
- 8:55coherent picture. The massive emission a few days
- 8:59ago. No, that the emission was
- 9:04incredibly powerful. It was on a level of its own.
- 9:07It was like a hurricane that swept the whole zone, changing
- 9:10it. Everything is different.
- 9:13The well known and relatively safe areas have become highly
- 9:17radioactive and full of anomalies.
- 9:19But now you can access parts of the zone that have been
- 9:22unreachable for years. Even the most hardened stalkers
- 9:26don't know motivates them on their favorite path.
- 9:29The other thing that changed is people and that became evident
- 9:33right way. The emission destroyed the
- 9:35fragile balance between factions and they're now warring for
- 9:38territory. In other words, many strange
- 9:42things have happened and I don't yet fully understand the scale
- 9:46of these changes. It's only been a few days since
- 9:49the emission, if you ask me. The strangest thing of all is
- 9:53that you managed to survive it. I see.
- 9:59How can I help you? Getting out of here isn't easy,
- 10:06not by a long shot. The swamps are a real maze of
- 10:09reeds and radioactive clique sand swarming with terrible
- 10:13monsters and human skull, and I don't know which is worse.
- 10:17Only a guide can lead you safely out of here.
- 10:20We only have a handful of them, guys I would trust with my life
- 10:24without a second thought. Unfortunately, it's not that
- 10:27simple. Because if I let you go, our
- 10:30presence here might not stay a secret for long.
- 10:34We are having a very tough time here.
- 10:36Recently, the emission reduced the number of anomalies in the
- 10:39swamps, which made the area easily accessible for bandits
- 10:43and other verdicts. There are so many of them.
- 10:46They'll be setting up camp in our base room if we don't do
- 10:48something about it. The problem is that we're not
- 10:52legally the fighting type, so we've been steadily losing
- 10:55ground. But you one look at you tells me
- 10:59you're a pro and that sort. Of your.
- 11:02Experience can save the lives of many of my That's enough
- 11:05chitchat. There's been another attack on
- 11:08our outpost. Help us fight it off.
- 11:10If it makes any difference, some of the boys who saved you are
- 11:13there right now. You still remember how to
- 11:15survive in the zone. Great.
- 11:18Get over to the trader and he'll fit you out with some basic
- 11:21equipment. After that, head straight to the
- 11:24outpost. Once you're outside the base,
- 11:27listen to my advice. I'll try to guide you along.
- 11:37Issue him with all the equipment he'll need for the mission.
- 11:39Roger that. Hurry, Mark.
- 12:01You're with us again at last. Here, take this basic equipment
- 12:05kit. It's designed specifically for
- 12:07patrol machines. I've been ordered to issue you
- 12:11some equipment. There's no time for questions.
- 12:13The boys need you now. What's your need, stalker?
- 12:38Mark, there are anomalies ahead. Be careful.
- 12:42Remember, don't move until you've thrown a bolt in front of
- 12:45you. Oh, by the way.
- 15:11You can sometimes find artifacts and anomalies.
- 15:14You can't see them, but detectors want them easily
- 15:17enough. If you get close enough, your
- 15:20detector will indicate the location of the artifact and
- 15:23then you just pick it Run for the tower.
- 16:41The monsters can't get you there.
- 17:03You're right on time bro, I'm real low on ammo so let's make
- 17:07the best of it together. Attention on Vipers, any mission
- 17:25is approaching. Get to cover now.
- 18:27You survived the emission again. I'm not even that surprised.
- 18:32Our boys pick you up not far from the tower when things come
- 18:35down a bit. You know Bien Polev was right.
- 18:38You defy scientific explanation. He believes that you acquired
- 18:42some, let's say, unusual abilities which help you survive
- 18:46anomalous activity that would literally tear anyone else down
- 18:49to atoms. Also, it looks like something is
- 18:53increasing your body's performance in several areas to
- 18:56the point that our monitoring equipment goes off the scale.
- 19:01Don't get too excited. There's always a family in the
- 19:04ointment. Every emission harms your
- 19:07nervous system, and if this continues you will die.
- 19:11A normal emission is the release of energy accumulated in the
- 19:15zone, a discharge if you like, but what's happening now is
- 19:20completely different. In my opinion, the increasing
- 19:24regularity of these emissions is the zone's response to some sort
- 19:28of serious threat, akin to the response provided by a human
- 19:33immune system. It is difficult to rationally
- 19:36explain coexistence between humans and the Zone.
- 19:39The Zone tolerates us in some areas and forbids us from going
- 19:43to others. Whatever is beyond the scorcher
- 19:46and further towards the center of the Zone is taboo, a place
- 19:49where stalkers are not supposed to set foot.
- 19:53I think that the recent events in the Zone are related to the
- 19:56fact that someone broke that taboo and made it past the brain
- 20:01scorcher. It's hard to say.
- 20:07To answer that question, I would need to know what's in the
- 20:09center of the zone. Some say the Manoli, others say
- 20:12the Vish. Granted, the more unpretentious
- 20:15ones dream about fields of rare artifacts.
- 20:18I was at the power plant myself, a young specialist at the time,
- 20:22but I don't know what's there now.
- 20:24What I can say is that the scorcher appeared for a reason.
- 20:29It prevents the center of the zone from being reached.
- 20:32People cannot go beyond the brain scorcher.
