Tinker Tailor Stalker Spy:

I'm not a Loner. My name is not Kruglov. My task is to infiltrate any Factions that I choose, in order to investigate and seize any of the new prototype weapons and ammunition, that have illegally entered the Zone. I have left the Mercenary Faction to join the Loner Faction. I am the Stalker.
Encrypted Diary: I explored the outer limits of the Marshes.
* Game Note: I pick up where my game crashed by going to my last save, made as the Psi Storm hit Anomaly Island, where I was with Doc. The Loner that showed up at the Sunken Village never appeared this time. Most likely due to the games tendency to switch the direction of travel of NPCs, when relaoding a save or starting out where you left off.
