You feel a shake on your arm. Being a bit of a light sleeper (this is the Zone, after all, who knows what might've snuck in?), your eyes open and you reluctantly turn on your cot to see who (or what) is trying to get your attention.

And, it's...Hip. The ex-Freedom girl in the Rookie Village. You remember doing some things for her, and...right. You gave her a TOZ-34 Bison. And a can tuna. Christ, now she's following you around? Great. Well...you did say you'd help her search around for the artifacts that Sidorovich wants.

"C'mon...!"

She beckoned. She pouts, though you can see she's a bit giddy for action. She wants something to shoot at with her shiny new shotgun, after all.

"...you said you'd help me with artifacts, right? I need someone to watch my back in case of Bloodsuckers."
