<text>S.T.A.L.K.E.R. .. once you read this .. it means that I am already dead. This all started whern I was on a job near the Radar for the Initiative. They wanted me to find a couple of 'rare' artefacts that can only be found up there. I found myself hiding for my life from those Monolith freaks. I ducked down behind some bushes, and found myself enveloped in a thick dense fog that seemed to suddenly form out of nothing. It only enveloped me for a few seconds, and I felt very strange .. the rest .. well, I lost consciousness... I woke up feeling fine, and somewhat rejuvinated. Some time later, I began to notice a something .. I could sense nearby Artefacts. And then it started .. I found the Artefracts for the order with ease, realising that I could determine where artefacts were by the confluence of the surrounding anomalies. I made it to the Chernobyl NPP by travelling through the anomalous field. I could not find the Sarcophagus, but I did manage to gather a lot of rare, and unknown Artefacts. When I came back to the Cordon, I did so by travelling through all known 'dangerous' areas throughout the Zone. As you may well know, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. .. the Zone is full of well concealed caches containing valuable loot. I could not carry it all during this journey, so I marked them all with Notes. Each one I placed had the location of the next one written in it. They were essentially hints left for myself, which anyone else may find cryptic .. but, for me; they make sense. At least they did at the time... As time went by I began to notice something happening to me. I became tired with each passing day, and looking at myself in the mirror, I realized that I was looking old beyond my years. A day for everyone else was like a year for me. Only a month after that incident at the Radar, my life was at an end. But lucky for you .. you found my last note. Good luck to you S.T.A.L.K.E.R., in pursuit of my treasures. I will be watching you from that dark place where we all go in the end ... adios!!\n• In the Cordon: \n In a tree wrapped in twine, behind the Military outpost .. \n• Check the Railroad cars carefully .. \n• Amongst some stones between a railway embankment and the transition to the Dump ..</text>

<text>In the forest at the Radar, I happened upon a pack of Chernobyl Psi-Dogs. Apart from them, I also encountered a group of Snorks. All I could do was climb up aq tree, firing, as I climbed from branch to branch .. and then there was a blinding flash .. I woke up on the ground at one of the low hills in the forest. I must have hit a teleport!! As I began to investigate the area, I discovered thast all the hills are connected by the same source. Roaming those hills, I have found my fortune in Artefacts, including some very 'rare' and expensive ones. I carried what I could, and left the rest inside a Cache; the properties of which are very specific .. very specific indeed!!!</text>
</string>

<string id="tayniki_coll_0">
<text>Listen Sid ... I have heard rumours about some very 'rare' Artefacts that are very hard to find. It is said that someone had found some of them deep inside the Zone, and that they had sold some of them to you here in the Cordon...</text>
</string>

<string id="tayniki_coll_1">
<text>Well, yes .. that much is true. Most of the orders I received were for one particular artefact, but ... I have since had several orders for a particular type in a certain quantity - the payment, as you know .. will suit the job. Roughly speaking though .. it woulds be twice as profitable as the total value if the Artefacts were sought out individually...</text>
</string>

<string id="tayniki_coll_2">
<text>Sounds good to me .. Let us talk business, then...</text>
</string>
<string id="tayniki_coll_3">
<text>That's exactly all it is at this point .. Talk!! I'm at a loss as to what to do. The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. who took these orders has disappeared without a trace .. and with him .. the mystery of it all as well .. By the way ... have you heard tell of this 'Collector' fellow at all?! .. well, that's his nickname around these parts, anyways...</text>
</string>
<string id="tayniki_coll_4">
<text>No, this is the first I've heard tell of him .. please go on...</text>
</string>
<string id="tayniki_coll_5">
<text>That's understandable. Newcomers are arriving every day, and the Old-Timers that knew him, they tend to spend a day or two in the Zone .. and besides, theyu don't like to talk about him much. The 'Collector' was a seasoned S.T.A.L.K.E.R. that mostly worked on special orders for certain groups of artefacts. An order came in from a strange fellow .. said he was part of some 'Initiative' .. it had a funny name ... anywats, it was for a couple of 'rare' Artefacts that can only be found near the Radar. The 'Collector' took the job. He was probably gone more than a month, I thought that the Zone took him .. like so many others before. And then suddenly one day he shows up .. and, withy the Artefacts as well!! None of us had ever seen such artefacts .. such treasures!! But, he had changed very much since he left. He seemed older, somehow .. He gave me a piece of paper as well .. something torn from a Notebook of some sort. He had written the terms of our agreement out on it, along with something else .. something illegible. A code perhaps? .. I payed him as agreed for the remaining rare artifacts - gave him a good price as well .. He then waved his hand to say goodbye, and left without saying a word. Then again, 4 days later he shows up, puts two very rare Artefacts, and a note containing the price on the table. He looked awful .. as if he had aged five years .. I asked 'Wolf' about him, and he said that an 'old' man fitting his description wandered into the village, but didn't speak to anyone .. not even him. He only stayed overnight, sitting up at the fire in the center of the village, and then he left early the next mormningh. No-one has seen or heard from him since...</text>
</string>
<string id="tayniki_coll_6">
<text>So what are you proposing then? ... </text>
</string>
<string id="tayniki_coll_7">
<text>Well, nothing really ... don't get too excited .. it could all just be a bunch of campfire talk... </text>
</string>
<string id="tayniki_coll_8">
<text>Well, I suppose so .. but, it might be worth looking into all the same...</text>
</string>
<string id="tayniki_coll_9">
<text>Well, I'll tell you one thing .. this 'Collector' fellow was no dummy. How could he possibly spend 4 days here in the Cordon, and find such rare artefacts that can only be found near the centre of the Zone!? My guess is that he had them hidden away somewhere in secret caches that only he knew about .. and also, I believe that there may still be some of these 'Caches' out there. This is merely speculation, of course .. But, if you are the curious type that I think you are, then have a good, close look around here in the Rookie Village. This is the last place he was seen, after all...</text>

<string id="tayniki_coll_10">
<text>Food for thought ... I may check into that. Talk to you later...</text>
