Turn 9 - everyone except Dustan
The Moon shines high up in the sky.

So the artifact is still in my Inventory? That's what the op says.
"Great, now if someone spits on me I die."
Rest.
[6] You immediately fall asleep and rest. Numerous black shards of artifact that just exploded lodged firmly in your flesh. If not for unusual properties of black ichor, stored within shards, you'd be dead in no time. However, spikes quicken your regeneration. What about radioactivity? Black ichor is strongly radioactive, but somehow you feel no effects of it working upon you - the hedgehog might've been an artifact that affects you depending on substance it works with, reducing negative effects of substance and improving positive ones!
- You recover your whole HP! -
Latest adventures made you grow stronger and quicker. You adapt to the Zone's conditions.
- Your strenght increases by 1! -
- Your dexterity increases by 1! -

((Why does it seem that these guys aren't "friendly", but are instead "Suicidal"?))
I Might as well see where it's trying to direct me...
[5] The husk leads you another way around. You hardly see anything in the darkness as treetops block the moonlight, and after a while you both reach a small bunker. There are more husks wandering there. The one that leads you says:
- Transport... incoming...
After whole this day you feel drowsy.
You lose 10 fatigue.

"Hello!"
Say hi.
[6] The sky is clear, Moon is shining strong so you can see most objects around you. Suddenly your vision gets blurry and everything starts spinning. You say:
- Hello!
Suddenly the doors open, revealing a crooked, egg shaped man with ugly face. His hands lit up by moonlight seem extremely muscular. Without even moving his lips he says:
- Are you lost little girl? I'll shelter you for this night!
His words echo in you head, every blurry object you see spins around quicker and quicker, your vision turns red. You barely stand on your feet, and drowsiness isn't helping with that.
You lose 10 fatigue

"Hello. Can you help me I seem to be lost and confused?"
Act like a very lost confused person.
[5] You stop just in front of a confused soldier and try to fool him that you're just lost in the wilderness, as if you were member of a guided tour that split from the tour. You say:
- Hello. Can you help me I seem to be lost and confused?
- Identify yourself! - one of the soldiers starts with standard procedure, but another disturbs him:
- I think I saw him with a guided tour!. They left exclusion Zone a few hours ago. What should we do with him?
[4] Soldiers ponder for a while. One of them, probably leader of the squad says to you:
- Now, you look like Zone really tried to get you... - then turns to another soldier with words: - Escort him to Hubyn then go back to your duties.
You've had a lot of luck that they believed you, but now they'd take you to your boss! You follow them, walking clumsily. You feel drowsy.
You lose 10 fatigue

Open Room X-16, gun at the ready.
It's been a long time since you've entered the building. Through a window you see nearby forest in moonlight. You yawn, checking a key to closest room - "X-16" chamber.
You lose 10 fatigue
[2] You open the door and wander inside, keeping your gun at ready just in case. There seem to be two chairs and another room isolated with heavy steel doors. They seem to be opened. Without checking what's inside through a visor you open the door and in a blink of an eye somethig moves and disappears with loud hiss!
- A new mutant type has been discovered! -

"I must help my comrades. They sent out a distress signal." Continue on my way to, Hubyn.
Just as you wanted to leave, you hear someone talking through communicator:
- Leave your equipment in armory and head for nearest barracks soldiers. Stalkers, continue your missions. The threat has been identified as a lost guided tour member, and thus is escorted to city of Hubyn!
[5] You stop closely to the CHP. It's a really short walk back, and in the distance you still can see the truck to Chernobyl city! You could use your communicator to tell others that you're driving with them, or stay in base for the night.
