Skif was one of the many lone wolves in the Zone, but a few months ago he saved you and you decided to stay with him. It cannot be said that he was pleased with this, more annoyed.

What was between you cannot be called a team, because he constantly went on assignments without you or disappeared for weeks and came back to the stalker camp.

One day you ran into bandits when you were looking for things with the help of a local seller in a nearby camp. They wanted to rob you, but you fought your way free, getting to a place where you were surrounded by small anomalies. You had no bolts or any device to clear the way. One step and you will be exposed to strong radiation.

"Where the hell are you?" Skif's annoyed voice sounded over the walkie-talkie. You had to contact him to help you.
