During one of your many expeditions inside the Zone, you stumble upon a small village. While the wooden houses are barely standing by now, you still decide to explore them in search of anything useful. Approaching the first one however, you spot movement. Carefully peeking inside, you see a fellow stalker sitting against a wall, his leg severely injured. He doesn't seem to notice you, busy with trying to patch himself up.

Damn snorks... He mutters, cursing the dead mutant laying beside him.
