"Not really sure. Yea, that's how lost we are. If we could find where we're going, we could find where we're from." Vladimir recalls a wise man once saying, "sure, we're lost, but we're making very good time." |

The loudspeaker doesn't respond, but instead there's the distinctive roar of a modified SAMAS that appears from behind the walls. It bears none of the markings or colors of a Coalition model, but none of you are certain exactly what kind of SAMAS it is, done in a tan and brown camouflage pattern.
It does not strafe or even attack, it simply lands on the outside edge of the wall. It walks up to you both in a non-threatening manner (or as non-threatening as a SAMAS can appear). "So, you're from a Rift?" |

"Oh, just a little work rehabilitation center. So where are you two from, anyway?"
The voice sounds casual, but ultimately he's still in a SAMAS, so there's always a bit of an edge to anyone with that type of gear. |

"Oh you know how it is. It may be cheaper to just put a bullet in between their eyes, but at least this way we get some manual labor out of these thugs. I'd invite you in, but that's against policy. I'm sure you both can understand that." |

Vladimir produces his sketch of the area, writes in Russian "rehab center" at their current location. Another community is marked, presumably the stalkers', and the ley lines. He holds the map out and asks in English, "we could use some more detail." |

Vladimir mumbles something. Or maybe he just groans a bit. He looks like he might be started to turn back to the vehicles. |

Vlad stays with Oliver rather than leave him behind. |

The SAMAS clad host pauses, as if he's receiving instructions. "Well, I guess you're going to find out personally. The Boss wants to see you both, inside." |

"well i know i would love to meet your boss, maybe learn more about this place, but i wouldn't want to impose on my friend here."
apparently ignoring the danger of the situation, oliver goes on.
"Vlad, i guess it's up to you: we could both go, i could just go, or we could both leave." |

"This plan. Possibly more wrinkles than a choodoo yoodoo's nutsack. What are the terms?"
Holding his radio and shaking it slightly, "we'll have to tell the others what's happening." |

as agitated as i am at this apparent slave camp, i'll be keeping an eye on Mr. Samas while Vlad makes his call. if he makes a move to stop the call, he will be losing whatever implement he puts out in the open, be it a gun barrel or a hand. |

There is no response on the radio. The signal isn't dead, there's just no response. |

Vlad thinks his radio is as useful to him as a bacon and ham sandwich with a cold glass of milk is to a drowning Jew. But what he says to Oliver is, "something stinks". |

The SAMAS pilot seems quite confused. Perhaps he's not involved in whatever is going on with your tattooed companion. |
