Road from the Garbage, and Duty controlled Rostok.

[Zeno, Lord Camelith]

After Rurik got them through the Duty checkpoint, and they successfully made it through the Anomaly field, the group of stalkers found themselves on a dilapidated road, ahead of them were some old rusted cars, and a military truck, and beyond that was a trench filled with wooden spikes, beyond that were two piles of sandbags, with Duty guards on both sides. The surrounding area was filled with dead dogs, "Looks like they got rid of most of the pack for us." said Harmund. Rurik lead them past the guards, and into the city itself. Rurik pointed towards a small building, and told Victor, Maginot and Adder that they could find the famed 100 Rads Bar in the underground bunker to the left of the building.

With Harmund and Sigbrand still following Rurik, they made their way through the city until they came to another checkpoint, this one had even more guards, and they could see at least 20 Dutiers beyond it. Rurik told them it was Duty's HQ. "Who are these people with you?" The guard asked Rurik. He told the guard that they were new potential recruits and that he was taking them to see the General. After the guard waved them through, Rurik lead them down a long flight of stairs to a bunker, the place was crawling with Dutiers, there was a guard stationed at ever corner of the staircase. Rurik lead them to a tallish man who seemed to be in his mid to late forties. Rurik handed the suitcase he had been carrying to the General and told him about Harmund and Sigbrand. "So you want to join Duty?" he asked. "Yes sir, that was our intention" Harmund replied. After swearing an oath to uphold the beliefs of Duty, the General said "Congratulations brothers! You are now officially members of Duty! If you need any other gear, you should head over to Colonel Potrenko, he can sell you anything you need."

Victor carefully examined the scene of battle. He noticed a dead loner in a white jacket lying by an abandoned truck, the corpses of two pseudodogs near him. The man's jacket, and flesh underneath was completely shredded by the beasts' teeth, and it looked like he had crawled a fair distance before bleeding out. A Chaser-13 shotgun lay near its dead owner.

Bending down to pick up the gun, Victor noticed a small light emanating from the man's torn coat. With a bit of revulsion, he prodded the man with the gun. A small Flash artifact fell out of the man's jacket. So this is what allowed the man to crawl so far with such wounds! Victor thought. He picked up the small spheroid, and felt his massive load of guns suddenly get a lot lighter. With renewed energy, he began making his way towards the entrance to Rostok.
