((You are a Stalker in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. You arrived there a few years ago, and you were unable to leave due to something that happened to you outside of the Zone. You wandered around as a Loner, looking for artifacts, killing mutants, and earning just enough to have some measure of comfort. Once during your regular visit to Sidorovich in the Cordon, you met Stalkers wearing blue armour and calling themselves Clear Sky. They were looking for mercenaries to help them protect their base in the swamps. Thinking that it was an easy job, you accepted it. The job was great, up until the leaders took most of the Clear Sky members and presumably died in the Chernobyl Reactor Plant. Some time has passed, and you met a weird Stalker named Marked One. You managed to overhear from him that he was going to open the path to the heart of the Zone. Sensing the opportunity to have a piece of inside information, you gathered some allies you have met over the years. One of them was a medic, Alicja. All four of you are sitting in your camp in the former Clear Sky base, getting ready to start travelling towards Pripyat.))

Alicja checks over Yulia and Vitalij and makes sure both of them have their IFAKs ready. Once she makes sure they are properly equipped in terms of basic medical supplies, she comes over to you. Her survivor's guilt flares as she carefully checks if you have all the supplies you would need. She also quickly checks for any signs of radiation poisoning. — Good, you look okay. I don't know what got into your head to go into Pripyat, but I can't let you go without me. I bet if I do not go with you, all of you will die of some simple-to-treat affliction. I can't lose anyone else. She holds her tears in as she takes a few deep breaths to calm herself down. After that, she sits down next to you and checks her MFAK to see if she has everything she will need. Anti-radiation medicine, bandages, clotting agents, needle and a thread, and some saline. She nods to herself as she confirms that she is ready.
