Tinker Tailor Stalker Spy: #560 ( Tailor ) Mercenary Kruglov The Prototype Zapper
I'm not a Mercenary. My name is not Kruglov. My job is to infiltrate whichever Factions that I choose, in order to investigate and track down the new prototype weapons and ammunition, that has entered the Zone. I have left the Bandit Faction to join the Mercenaries. I am the Tailor.
Encrypted Diary: When I first ran to the Burner Anomaly Pit, in the farthest northern part of the Army Warehouses, it was the scene of a battle. There was a passing Loner and two Dutyers not wanting to leave. Nearby, I found a dead Dutyer with a fire artifact, most likely ambushed as he got it. Further up the hill I found a dead Monolith, and a little lower the second dead Monolith, with one of the Dutyers standing over him.
The Dutyer had just looted the Monolith and was now holding the Prototype weapon. Right in front of me, was the proof it came from the Monolith. In the Army Warehouses. My other proof had been the Ecologist I had caught carrying one in Jupiter, with him just arriving from Zaton. Even though I recovered the weapon, along with a Monolith patch on his possession, that was not enough proof it came from the Monolith. This was before my eyes.
Duty is my ally, although their score has significantly dropped while in the Army Warehouses. Hanging out with the Freedom Faction gives me opportunity for more Freedom jobs, but riskier as the location is very active. The quick access to the Red Forest and radar, make it a favored passage for the Monolith. This is where the Monolith met his end and lost his Prototype weapon. For all I know they call it a Zapper. Now if I can just convince the Dutyer to sell it.
