I had this idea while reading a book about Mars...not that Mars has anything to do with STALKER or the Zone, but what happened in the book got me thinking.
Considering the fact that the Zone has caused mutations in living creatures, what about micro-organisms like bacteria, parasites and viruses? And that's where the idea comes in.
It would start off with a call for help from some loners North of the Army Warehouses, a squad would be sent by Freedom to see what's wrong and they'd discover that all the loners have gone down with some strange kind of sickness that leaves them pale, very weak and with respiratory problems. Most of the loners are dead, but a couple are still alive and are taken back to Freedom's base...and the epidemic starts.
This being some sort of "super virus", the entire Zone's population would be at risk, and the objective would be to find a cure before it's too late.
So, what do you people think?

Possible. I might join in, considering two of my characters would be involved in the masterkey. Anyhow, any preferences for the character affiliation, experience, ranking?

Not really, it'll be pretty liberal about such things.

Well a member of the Monolith won't be trying to save a dying rookie stalker in Cordon. Neither would a bandit rookie be interested in anything else besides filling his pockets.

Might work I mean Monolith will do what ever C-con tells then too and If I was a Bandit I would see a wonderful opportunity to make money as in steal the cure then sell it for tons of Ru or artifacts.

Being a part of the Freedom elite, Sokol will naturally be involved as well.

So, what do you people think? Considering that in SoC there are the rumours of the expansion of the Zone, parasites would be a viable vehicle to explain said expansion, and carry the disease. One only has to recall the Black Death to also remember its carriers. The fleas on the rats. Jenifur Charne

Good point but people still can get and die from Hantavirus that is a form of bubonic plague.

Rurik will have some part to play in this.
