So, I have decided to make this log, because Im bored and maybe if will something happen to me this could show how awesome I was.
My name is Ivan Barsukov and Iam "Loner" or just "Stalker".
I heard about Zone from one close friend in Mainlands, he have told me about not-so-legal and dangerous tours there. So I though about some exotic local Saffari. Way there was actually pretty good even when military is all around the borders of so-called Zone, my guide bribed some grunts and they let us pass without much problems, but when I got there shit hit the fan. My guide ran away and didnt came back. So I was left there with just little snack and some sidearm + no way back home since they would arrest me, no wait, they would just kill me probably. First stalker I met was some woman (I know right? Whats the chance.) and she shown me way into Freedom, which is local major faction with Duty.

This is pretty old info, right now Im here for several months now. So to the recent stuff.

Right now Im not some greenhorn or rookie anymore. I think I have learned a lot about this place and got decent protection too.
In Zone you really need gun, this place is like different planet. Only strongest, smartest or devious can survive and Im not ready to die yet. I have managed to get some good friends and equipment, most notable Sunrise suit, which is some local makeshift armor with kevlar and stuff like that. But its really comfortable and helps you against all these mutants and bullets. Thats right there are real mutants.

Now for some actual news:

LOG 1.

There was Controller a while back and Pipson wanted to kill him with his SVD and I was too bored to not go with him. On our way we didnt met him (Thank god!), but I found some militaty documents in ruined house near Freedom. Nothing interesting, just some logs, reports and shit like that, so I sold them to Night for 800 rubles.

LOG 2.

Major news are that Loners finnaly made new base in Red Star warehouse. Lot of mutant attacks, but nothing bad, almost no casualties / injuries.
Also we had Blowout or Emission. Its pretty nasty, earth shake, sky turn red, but actually really beatiful. Anybody who doesnt make it inside some house or cellar dies, or atleast thats what they say, since I never seen die somebody to Blowouts even when bloodsuckers are scared of them since once one pounced me and was just about to suck me dry before we both noticed Blowout is about to happen and went our own ways.
On my way from Freedom to Red Star I met Neo having his ass kicked by rather big group of stalkers. He almost rammed me into wall along with doors, but fortunaly he was already pretty messed up by stalkers and ran away. Only stalker I known by name or rather nickname was "Primal" which is in some Vanguard group of stalkers or something. We went back into Freedom and I fixed up one rookie, nothing what could
'nt be fixed, just minor slash wound on chest. Cleaned wound, gave some painkillers, antiseptic and stitched the wound.  Aaand thats probably it for today, I hope my next log is gonna be much more interesting for you reader "I-hope-you-are-trader-to-which-I-sold-my-PDA" and not some goddamn trenchy looting my cold body.

LOG 3.
So, we had Kranzer today, but somebody fend off him away from Freedom into Red Star warehouse. Some guy ended up inside under trapdoors room. I bet its mess now, so good bye neutral base.
Honor made Arena at Garbage. Turns out they are pretty assholes. They charge 1000 rubles for entry into fight and they take all the stuff from dead bodies. Whats worse, most of people which fighted there were just rookies which didnt knew a damn about fighting. But after a while somebody obviously started to attack at them and almost castrated some guy. I wonder how they could send messages about it during fight.
When they came to Freedom somebody started to shoot mortars or VOGs at Freedom bar. I dont think anybody got hurt, but I still hope Yuri will hear about this mess. A while after Iwo Jima some group of stalkers in Exoskeletons walked in like nothing. I bet they were some veterans showing of how awesome they are.

So what happened these days. There is actually alot. AND its interesting.
Few days back I have seen one guy in... and now take a sit dear reader, monolith exo-skeleton. Thats right, some guy was talking with Yuri (Which is local leader of Freedom.) and he had full monolith exo-skeleton. I didnt really heard anything, they went into basement, but when I asked they told me he is not Monolithian. My ass he is, or was. Who would wear monolith suit? Yes I once had idea to recolor some bandits suit on monolith color to make him walking target, but this guy had even patches and all that jazz. After few days we had bloodsucker in Freedom. We blocked doors with table and all that shit and waited, and waited, and waited and then. Knock knock. Some old guy was behind doors so we went to open him. He sounded kinda weird, but we let him in, he was in... I bet you still sit so lets continue, goddamn monolith suit. He said hes weak and that he need some painkiller so I gave him 1 or 2 cc of morphine, he then went upstairs with Aaron. Then after a while he Aaron went down and told us he: See two paths and some odd shit. Then he went downstairs too, opened the doors and yelled something like: "You shall not hurt me beast!" and it actually looked like he listens to him and went away, BUT after a quick moment it rushed straight into bar and attacked up. Of course, not even single wound. We tottaly killed it. BUT BUT BUT, story is not over yet dear reader, oh no it isnt! Meanwhile the Star, that was his name, left. I had pretty weird feeling. He could be a spy. I heard alot about people being spies. Maybe he was just testing our skill against bloodsucker. I told Devil we should have capture him and give to Yuri, this way there might be Monolith preparing big attack on Freedom base. BUT back to story. Few hours after he left some another bloodsucker came to the bar. It was not hostile, it was sniffing old man and PURRING. I have heard before about some Cowboy bloodsucker which purr from one Freedomer, but I never seen one. He just sniffed the whole place, bit one rookie in the head and dragged him near sewer where he met Neo, which is another sucker. Black fur, some weird mutation because he look diferent. They started to bark at eachother until some asshole in SKAT shot VOG from FN2000 at em. Im pretty happy I got it all on video on my PDA so I can show to every unbeliever, hehe. Meanwhile that rookie which got bit in the head yelled he cant see so I took him back into base and wanted to help him. I gave him really little of morphine, examined his wound. His face was real mess, no eye, bite marks everywhere and when I was about to stitch the wounds he was white as wall. So I unslinged my AK and shot him in the forehead to make it easier for him.

Other boring news:

Jun Devil, got his both legs broken by some boar sized dog and bloodsucker at garbage. Well shame I cant really help with broken bones. Thats probably only thing I cant do, except surgery. After long, long while I found CC which is Freedom quartermaster and doctor. But it was too late... Because Pipson never told me he can fix bones. What an ass, I would call him right away. Oh well, I recorded on PDA whole fixing of those bones so I COULD be able to do it alone next time, even when I dont have bonesaw, but I would have to use alot of morphine because it would probably hurt like bitch. Also I had to know Devil out since he shouldnt be awake for that.

Even more boring news:

"Honor" group have arena on garbage, and in one match one trenchy shot probably on accident one spectator merc and killed him.

Pipson got high today on some DMT I thought its something like DeMenTed, but it was some other shit.
He yelled about his blue blanket like its dolphin and that it need water to live. He wanted OX (Later he told me its oxygen.) and then he wanted to run into Freedom medical bay. Honestly, I dont wanted him to get into trouble so I hit him with butt of my AK when he wasnt looking and dragged him back into bed in bar. When he woke up I told him he fell down stairs and he explained pretty much everything. That DMT is some natural halucinogen, it looks like water and he drank it on accident and that it was only thing from his past about which he doesnt want to talk about. I almost forgot people have some past before Zone.

Also I got SIG from Chorei, that gun have scope and is pretty neat. Im gonna use it for special occasions. I dont want to get it mugged by some lazy bandits which camp near tunnel all day.
Also got another gun. LR, I fell into love with that gun. Its acurate, its smooth and beatiful. I love this gun.
And I shouldnt make fun of Doc that I drank bleach. He doesnt look like hes really joking person instead of me.

LOG 5.

I didn't updated this log in a while, mainly because I was in Mainland checking my family, giving some money to parents and sitting whole days at TV, but Im back. Aw yea. Aw yea. As usually I asked that guy which have some green brains bribed and they let us in.
Funny thing happened today. Well, it was NOT funny, but now I chuckle at it. Shit I lie, Im still kind of scared. I was in Freedom bar when guy asked me if I want to buy anything before he leaves so I was like: "Okay, trader after a while. Ill buy new pointer before I loose this AK again when Ill run from pack of rabid dogs." Well turns out he wanted 8.000 for AKm, two radios and two kabars. And after a while small group of trenchies made nice circle around me. I knew Im going to die if Ill tell him I dont want to buy it, fortunately bloodsucker threw some stupid merc through the window and the "trader" took care of him and threw him back out. Atleast I got time to think and I came up with awesome story which probably saved my life. I told him I dont have much cash on me and rest of it is in my stash. They wanted to go with me, but I told them it wouldn't be safe stash anymore. And with some luck they agreed and let me go get the money. I ran as far as I can. I literally ran toward Duty until I met another merc, I didnt warned him about possible bandits pursuing me, I was hopping they will get him instead of me, but it seems like they weren't that much interested in me. The bad thing is: They know how I look now and they could want me under daisies. Unfortunately I would recognize only the trader guy, I didn't really looked at other trenchies, but now I know they are my problem numero uno. BUT atleast there are still bandits which wont kill you for AK or they just didnt wanted do drag my body out and clean the mess inside.
Also finnaly made some cash after selling two Fireballs and Jelly to Ecologists, around 2600 if Im right. Also gave one spare Fireball to Devil for escorting me here. Also Im one step closer to "Zone pass", but Ill write about that later. Of course you will just scroll down dear Reader and see how it turned out. Unless I was killed and it will be forever unsolved mystery for you.
Funny how I expect somebody to read this. How they will find my dead body and PDA in my pocket. Somebody will take it and read my story about life in Zone. I just hope some asshole wont find it and wont even read this, but I think its pretty fun to write log.

Note to self:
- Tell some freedomer about bandits trying to rob stalkers in their fucking bar.
- Find out if that "Trader" would want me dead or just remember me.
- Possibly form a group and hunt that "Trader" down if Freedom wont do bat shit and he would try to do the same to me.
- Next time Ill make stop in Mainland I should make copy of this text file and save it into my PC.

LOG 6.

So, that bandit trader and his friends are nowhere to be found, which is good.
I changed sector to be sure, I met Alex there so he showed me some toursttraps around.
Also note to self: Stay away from Yantar facility, it was tough there with three of four more people, I dont much remember much about that since I had nice hangover later.

Sound of several people fades as the person holding PDA probably walks out of the room. After moment you can clearly hear sound of wood cracking inside fireplace. "Sooo, my name is Ivan Barkov and this-- wait, my name is Ivan Barsukov as you might know. This is my first time doing one of these... uuh, audiologs." says the man, you could say by his voice hes around his 30's. Cracking wood can be heard again as the man makes long pause before he continues. "This is first time Im doing-- damnit. What I wanted to say? Oh right! Audiolog, events, feelings. So what happened these days... these days happened lot of things. Usual Suspects came from the ashes and set up this base Im recordning this right now... I should writte GPS coordinates somewhere in case you dont know where it is...
bah screw this, I shouldnt have drank that vodka before this, Im gonna say way too much again." as the man pauses crows can be heard as they fly over him. "Today..." man disturbs himself and loudly sighs before he continues "Today Alek said there was fight with Albino, I trust him, but I would be much happier without that thing around this place. Also talking about Alek, he left Duty! What is great news since that good chaps was wasting his life standing on duty in front of base, now... now they shot him in the legs." man sighs again "I hope he will be able to walk again, it was looking pretty grim, but Suspects took care of him so he should be okay... I hope." some noise can be heard as the man does something with the PDA.
"There was a lot of attacks today... bloodsuckers, poltergeist, some ass with AK. Im glad I didnt got shot at all." man chuckles darkly "Probably because I was covering the doors most of time. Life is hard these days and I dont need to get shot, it would be even worse since now Im pretty alone at the moment. All my friends are either gone or joined some group." loudly exhales and pauses for almost a minute before he continues. "I always said to myself that Im not gonna join any group... ever, but these days if youre not part of some group you cant do much, and life gets lonely... and boring. Only thing I can do these days is sip vodka and my energy drinks at the Suspect's base and hope for some excitement. And Im out of my apple energy drinks already anyway. If I wont find anything to do, Im going back into Mainland for a while again. Even when I dont have money for family this time..." man grunts
"Like they need few thousands from me every quarter year." man yawns "Funny, how it feels good to talk to myself all of sudden, I should make logs more often." another noise can be heard before the audiolog ends.
