Sniper was comming down the stairs of the "Polissia" hotel  in the abandoned nuclear workers city of Pripyat. He was going to investigate first the weird object, that he saw from the window of the hotel's room , that he and his teammates were using  as headquarters and later he was planning to go back to the hotel , were he was going to discuss with his crew what were they going to do next. He was thinking to himself:
" What can this strange thing be ? A snork ? A bloodsucker ?  A burer or maybe it is only a blind dog ? I must find out more about this."  -and he came out of the hotel  , walking towards the palace of culture "Energetik". He pulled out the "Veles-Pripyat" detector out  of  it's holster and a bolt.  He was looking at the detector's screen for any signs of anomalies , artefacts or for high levels of radioactivity,but none of those factors were regestered by his detector. The only thing the detector was showing were very low levels of radioactivity and  the presense of the artefacts " Silver Cross" and " Vera's tears". The last artefact was named that way, because several years ago the stalker ,who first found this artefact saw that the artefact  looks like a tear drop. When he decided how he would name the new unknown artefact, he decided to give the name ''Vera's tears", because it looked like a tear drop and he thought about his girlfriend, who was waiting for him back home was called Vera.
Sniper reached the square in front of the palace of culture , were he saw the strange figure or object  with his binoculars. Sniper trew a bolt in front of him and he saw that it was safe to pass. He  went towards the building  , when he heard a telephone ring. He took out of his trouser's pocket  his  PDA ,  which was ringing. "Strange''.- he thought- I turned it off before I left the hotel. How it could be ringing  , when it's turned off. Oh well, I'm in the Zone and everything can happen here. "- and he picked the PDA up and said:
- Hello , this is Sniper speaking.- and a strange voice answered:
-Guys ,guys , were are you ? I need your help .- and the PDA turned off. After that weird event, the ecologist felt at first very surprised and worried, but minutes later he regained his senses and mind. Later, he went inside the once filled with people building. He felt something weird deep inside his soul: he imagined how people gathered in this place , how they were enjoying movies and theatrical plays, how they were playing games and how the children were singing songs or reading books, before their dreams , hopes and their city were gone for ever. He almost felt like he was back 26 years ago before the dissaster and he could almost see the happy and light-hearted people going in and out the palace,  which now was now home for mutants , radiation ,anomalies and artefacts. Sniper could barely hold his emotions , although he wasn't emotional as he was nearly two years ago, when he first came to the Zone and he yelled out:
- Why this ? Why ? Why, Why ,Why ? Damn you, you stupid workers and reactor ! -and he was almost about to start crying, but he quickly came back to his senses. He remembered that one day , when he was four or five years old, that he with his parents visited his doctor , who told to Sniper's parents after some tests  that their child has the ability to sence past events and that he has a high levels of bio energy, which was a result from the Chernobyl disaster.
Sniper put back the "Veles-Pripyat" back in it's holster. He pulled the AS VAL assault rifle out of his backpack, checked if it was loaded and began exploring the long deserted building. He walked around at the first floor for an hour, but he didn't found anything suspicious. He only found a "Silver Cross" artefact, which has antiradiation, antitoxic , ruptureproof and antiburn properties , an USP pistol with 20 .45ACP rounds, 6 bandages, 2 regular medkits, 1 scientific medkit, 10 antiradiation drugs, 4 Tourist Delight cans and a British Mercenary suit. Later he began exploring the second floor of the palace of culture "Energetik". The second floor also looked normal, until he heard a load roar. He emidiately recognised this as a snork. The snork was comming towards him. Sniper aimed the VAL assault rifle at the snork's head and he pulled the trigger. A burst of SP-5 rounds hit the snork's head , leaving a massive hole at the point, were the bullets entered the mutant's skull. A perfect headshot. Then Sniper went to the corpse of the snork, tearing his left leg, which he was thinking to sell to a trader later on. He put the snork's leg in his backpack and continued to explore the second floor. He went into a room, were he found a set of tools for fine work, a calibration toolkit , a "Pripyat RKS 20.03" Geiger counter  and note from a Loner stalker named Bogdan "Donald" Anafasiev to an another stalker named Alyosha "Mouse" Aleksiev about a secret stash. After finishing with investigating the room, he began walking down the fragile Soviet era stairwell when he saw something weird on one of the steps: it was an old Soviet record plate with Beethoven's Moon light sonata . He said to himself:
- Even something immortal like the Moonlight sonata circums to one's foolness like the foolness of those , who caused this devastation.
He ignored the record plate and he continued to cimb down the Soviet era stairs, reaching the first floor. The ecologist started to leave the building, when he heard someone shouting first in English, then in broken Russian:
- Help me ! I'm wounded ! Someone, help ! Medkit! Help! Sniper quickly went to the sourse of the noice and he saw a British Mercenary, who was heavily injured in the leg. Sniper said to Mercenary in perfect English:
-Help is here , sir ! Just stay calm and don't move , so I can stop the bleeding and close the wound.-and he pulled out of his backpack a tourniquet and tourniqueted the injured leg. Once the bleeding stopped, he said to the Mercenary:
-All right ! I stopped the bleeding. Now I'm going to stich the wound, so I can stop the entry of bacteria and other microorganisms from entering the open wound and causing a later infection of the wound.- and Sniper pulled out the surgical kit  from the belt bag on his suit and said to the Englishman:
- I know , sir that it's going to be very painful, but I don't have a local anasthetic to ease the pain from the surgery, so hold on very thight. It will only last a minute. He made a stich of the wound and cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. The Mercenary stood up on his feet and said to Sniper:
- Thank you for your help ! If you didn't help me, I was for sure dead. I will tell to my partners back at my camp for your actions. By the way, allow me to introduce myself . My name is Tom Cooper, a British Mercenary in the Chernobyl Alienation Zone, but my partners and friends call me Doctor.
- My name is Denis Borov, leader of an Ecologist Mercenary group called "The Liquidators", but my partners and friends call me Sniper.- Sniper answered back.
- Well, nice to meet you , Sniper! I'm greatful about your service. Here, have this Enfield L85 A1 "Leopard" rifle as  a reward for you saving my life. It used to belong to my friend, who died in this hellhole . God , please  spare his soul !- answered back the Mercenary , called Doctor.
- Doctor, can I ask you something ?- Sniper asked .
- Yes. What is your question ?- the Mercenary answered.
- It is about a mutant, that has appeared lately in here. Do you know something about it ?- Sniper asked again.
- I don't know much, but my partner Scar knows about it. Go and see him. He wil tell you more about this. I'll upload the coordinates of our base to your PDA. When you enter the base , the guards will ask you about the password. They will ask: "Doctor ?'' and you will answer: ''Doctor Who". Got it ?-Doctor answered.
- Got it !- said Sniper
- OK, then. Bye , mate and see you around !- said Doctor and both went on different ways: the Mercenary back to his base near the  house  of culture ''Jubilee" and Sniper went back to the ''Polissia" hotel.
