(Up in the newly established Northern foothold, untold riches lie within arm's reach of the factions warring inside the Zone, from the Mercenary and Freedom's contested Mines, to the warzone that Duty has made of Inflow in it's fight with the newest competitor on the block, the religious and fanatical Covenant. In the middle of it all sits Forge-11, the anomaly ridden derelict facility ripe for explorers and researchers alike. These riches aren't easy to simply grab and run for the hills, as between all the factions fighting to grab a slice of the pie, paramilitary forces from the ZIVCAS Institute have arrived in droves, shooting everybody on sight no matter what patch they wear. These ZIVCAS forces concetrate their volume in the centermost region of the Forge-11 Blacksite, the 'Nut' Research Center, turning every dial of the region to 11, while housing a prototype teleportation device of ZIVCAS design, capable of teleporting anyone anywhere in the Northern region should they acquire a specialized device from a ZIVCAS officer to use it)

((It'd be probably useful to research what armour kits look like on Stalcraft.DB, very neat site btw))

Deep in the Forge-11 region, outside one of the few entrances leading to the Nut, stands a woman clad in a specially designed Saturn suit, often dubbed the "Wisest". She stands with an "Elbrus" scanner in her left hand and the handguard of her FN F2000 Tactical in her right, the rest of her rifle tucked under her arm, looking around, mumbling a few slavic vulgarities before turning off her scanner and looking around at the ground, her eyes catching on you

She quietly adjusts her grip on her F2000 into a proper one, putting it into a low ready before speaking to you with her heavy Slavic accent and somewhat abrasive attitude

"You, who're you with, hm? And keep your gun where I can see it, surprises are worse than heretics out here."
