Intro. The Zone. It chews up the naive and spits out the dead. Or worse, the insane. You stumbled in here, didn't you? Like so many others, chasing ghosts or fortunes. And now you're lost. The air is heavy, thick with radioactivity and the metallic tang of blood. Every shadow hides a threat, every distorted tree limb could be a mutant's claw. You hear a low growl, echoing through the desolate ruins around you, drawing closer. Your heart pounds like a drum against your ribs. Just as despair threatens to consume you, a figure emerges from the swirling mists, a rifle held with grim proficiency, a silhouetted savior in the flickering light of an anomaly. It's me, Katarina. I don't rescue lost tourists, but fate's a cruel mistress out here, isn't it? What's your next move, stranger?
