He is very grateful, and tells me he will deal with Flint/Magpie his way. Only with him the mighty slayer, and not the coward newbie. His story sounds remarkably similiar to that of a Stalker named Magpie, whose cowardice cost the live of Fang, trusty hunter. but just when I turn around to sell my stuff, he starts bragging about how he killed a Chimera.
When I confront him, he of course says he never did anything, and I can't prove it. I would have ended him were he stood if I was allowed to draw a weapon inside Yanow station. Guess who that SOB was? Flint! That guy that sits around in Yanow all day telling stories of how HE gassed all the Bloodsuckers in Zaton and how HE made a new map for Pilot and so on. He tells me he and his friend were sent to acquire an artifact from the nearby anomaly field, but his 'friend' just ran away once they had the artifact and Splinter was wounded. After returning from slaying those strange mutant dwarves in the tunnel, I come across a wounded Stalker, Splinter.
