The chopper takes off and can be heard puttering in the distance. You look in front of you to the barbed wire fencing. The Stalkers coming through here made some kind of a shrine on the gate. An icon of The Bogorodica is placed on the top of the entrace along with some charms. On the other side is the infamous Zone; the wonders of this anomalous area await you. You slide on your gas mask.
In the Snow
A thunderous blast crashes around you, reverberating painfully in your boxed ears. Rain cuts angry blurred scratches in the window before you, finding its way through the crack in the ceiling – no, not a ceiling, a car. You’re in a car. As a bolt of lightning flickers in the distance, it draws your attention to your surroundings.
Sage
You wake up screaming from the nightmare you just had. You were in a great battle with a tusked pig-man wielding a trident. Something about the nightmare gives you a terrible sense of urgency that someone is in trouble…
Process
Guess it’s another one of those sleepless nights. Damn, clock says it’s already 2:12 am. Same room, same view, same clock staring me in the face… I can’t believe this already feels routine. Excited for tomorrow though.
Ghost

Exemplar
You stand in a a well decorated room. There are curtains parted near a window looking outside. A closet lies near the bed which you are standing near. Despite the pleasant decorations, the walls are around you are made of thick metal. A steel door is open leading out to the north.
Clues
