        <text>How can there be anything new here? Think of this as kindergarten, preschool even. Granted, if you don't hang around here, you'll get sacked in five minutes in the Zone, so there. The smart ones stay here a while, and then they go to the devil knows where. Besides, you can make it here with just a few ammo and equipment, there's no question about it. Everyone does, except those that don't.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_1">
        <text>All I have to do is wait for those pansies in uniform to go out for lunch... There's no point to hang out here, I need to go to the Big Land, but they won't let me, no matter what. I'm not the only one trying to get out either, but still we can't slip by them yet.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_10">
        <text>Not far from here are the fellows in uniform. They didn't used to come here, but now cleared everything out spick-n-snap right before me, right down to cutting down the cables. Now I can't get even close to that building, because they start shooting at anything that moves. I am glad I made it out without a hole in my hide. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_100">
        <text>Nothing. Trying to make it, that's all.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_11">
        <text>We're getting a team together made up of those who can't get enough climbing underground in the Zone. There's an old factory, and under it there are all these powerlines. They say there's a bunch of goodies there, and theres always something new to check out. Very interesting...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_12">
        <text>It's not new, It's old! They say that Strelok's old base used to be located here. I wonder what kind of traces one could find from that time, if they look hard enough.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_13">
        <text>Can you believe it - an hour ago I almost got into a mess! I was here half a year ago. It was peaceful and quiet, but now these razor heads in their outfits under every bush! It's crazy, man...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_14">
        <text>You're lucky soldier, that the bandits didn't get you. They have a base pretty close to here. Oh how I would have totaled it if I could, but for now we're just observing. That is just their supporting base. Their headquarters are located somewhere closer to the center of the Zone.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_15">
        <text>They say there used to be an impressive lab here, so it'd be great to find the entrance. I bet there are lots of goodies inside. On the other hand, it gives me the heebie-jeebies...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_16">
        <text>Did you know that in what's now the Dark Valley, before the catastrophe there used to be an underground scientific research complex? I don't know what it was meant for, but I'm sure it was nothing good. I heard many things about it and most of it is bad. A Terrible place.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_17">
        <text>So what? What do you want to hear? I'll tell you this much. The "dutiers" are definitely the cops, and they know how to keep the order, but overall I don't like them very much. They're like the landlords everywhere - don't take this, don't carry that out of the Zone, and what's worse is that they've already determined what you're allowed to say in the Big Land and what you're supposed to be hush-hush about! They blab, and actually want to destroy the Zone, little by little. Well that doesn't surprise me, coming from former soldiers....they're all dreamers. What's worse is that they say their support comes all the way from the top.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_18">
        <text>This territory is now controlled by the Duty, and the rules of the Duty are the law of the land. We control the borders of the zone and cool off hot heads. You can't imagine the amount of poor fools, amateurs, and romantics that come here in whole caravans just to die off in groups on the very first day.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_19">
        <text>Were you at our half-way camp? Granted, it's not just ours - you can run into almost anyone here. What's important is that it's a good place, without any trash, and all the news about the Zone drains in here. You can almost always hear something useful, or at least chat with folks about nothing in particular. Too bad that Baldy and his group left the day before yesterday, so this time I didn't even get to see him.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_2">
        <text>Let's head to camp, you'll hear all the rumors there. All who are doing this for the first time - the rookies like you - usually drop by to pick up some pointers or rest a while. There are soldiers standing nearby, but don't be too afraid of them, but don't get in their way either - they can shoot and not think twice about it. Here by the trader there's a nice, calm little place where you can break camp. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_20">
        <text>Right now, this place is safe, and we're trying to keep it that way. There are many people here, some who've made it their home and don't go beyond the surrounding area, others who are preparing for yet another raid. Such a shame that Irokez didn't come back. He loved to set rookies like yourself on the way of the righteous. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_21">
        <text>Did you hear that the Duty has announced that it's recruiting new members? I thought about it a minute, but then decided - the hell with it. Before long they will draft me, and I don't need that kind of discipline. Serving my two years is more then enough for me...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_22">
        <text>If you haven't heard yet, I'm letting you know. We the Duty are recruiting new members. If you have some experience, go to the base ask for Petrenko. You won't regret it.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_23">
        <text>Did you come to look at the matches too? Do you want to place a bid or something? Well what do you know! There's an arena here somewhere, and you're a total zero! So check this out: The members of the Duty squad catch mutants, right? After the research, if the beasts are still alive, they let them loose on the arena, and some of these babes come in all shapes and sizes. Some you'll look at them and die laughing, others - you'll wet your pants.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_24">
        <text>They just provided the arena with new meat. Entertainment for the people, and for us a good way to earn a few percent from the bids. We'll prove to the stalkers that the Duty isn't just wagging its tongue, but that we do is the real thing.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_25">
        <text>Hey listen, have you been to the Rostok? It used to be quiet there, but now it's tough going there alone. It's not your average wild field, there's much too many mutants there now. Let's go together, what do you say?...On the other hand...I don't know you, and you don't know me. What if...Yeah, dude, sorry. Let's split.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_26">
        <text>We're just back from Rostok. You don't need to show your face there, especially if you're alone. Want to stay alive? Then you better not go.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_27">
        <text>Well I was thinking of going to Yantar, but then I thought, screw it. There the eggheads set up a full-fledged scientific base in the Zone. They're digging around in the devil knows what while zombies are romping all around outside the complex. How idyllic, my goodness.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_28">
        <text>They were purging the Yantar zone recently... Yeah, they cleaned it up pretty well! There are research laboratories there, but too many zombies all around. So we have to regularly haul over there to help the scientists out.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_29">
        <text>By the old warehouses, you know - the Freedom base. They're happy fellows, have some soul, and it's such a pleasure to chat with them over a bottle of wine. Also the Duty isn't there all the time like around the bar.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_3">
        <text>There's an old factory nearby that we usually clean off of bandits every few months since they keep coming back, but it hasn't even been a month since last time, and they're already back. You better be more careful there...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_30">
        <text>Some Freedom members are hiding out behind the old warehouses...Break them all down!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_31">
        <text>Leave before it gets dark! During the day it's more or less okay, but once the sun sets...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_32">
        <text>Soldier, leave! We're going to take down the cordoning off. For now we keep it up only during the day, and leave for the night - it's too creepy here at night.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_33">
        <text>You see, during the night you need to keep yourself hidden, and preferable behind a good set of doors. During the darkest part of the night we find ourselves basically under seige.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_34">
        <text>Well buddy, it seems you're not up to date? During the night you have to snooze somewhere far away from here. Here during the night even a granade launcher doesn't always help.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_35">
        <text>You know what, let the Duty guys, the Freedom guys and the marauders figure out who this part belongs to. What do they matter to me anyway? To hell with them...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_36">
        <text>We're working here now, soldier. Not only is there a bunch of these wretches breeding here, but those dumbass mercs and the retards from the Freedom faction keep getting in the way...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_37">
        <text>I have to warn you that it's not very safe here even during the day. Once in a while there is a shoot-out. As far as I understand, It's mostly because of some long-standing conflicts between the various local bandit factions.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_38">
        <text>Listen, why don't you tell me who's territory this is? This is our territory, right? So it's easier for us to hold off the wretches that come here from the center of the Zone, then anone else isn't it? The eggheads can mess around trying to figure out who's bothering them, but the Duty and the marauders can get the hell out of here.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_39">
        <text>Don't you know? They treaded a new path here to be able to get past the Duty patrol so they could get right to the perimeter with all the goods. You can get here from Yantar, and then use the backways all the way to Agroprom, and you will get there!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_4">
        <text>Nothing. I don't know squat. I grab a bite here and there, trying to make enough for my daily bread, since It's too creepy going into the Zone itself so to hell with it. There's no work at home, and my wife's on my case so I gotta live somehow. Here in Garbage, if you look around for a day you'll be able to get some artifacts together. Here is enough for you to to get your bread, but you won't be able to get any butter though.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_40">
        <text>Why are you here? You plannin' to go to Yantar, or are you trying to sneak some artifacts past a brother?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_41">
        <text>I won't conceal the fact that here your soldier colleagues offer us from time to time some quite interesting anomalous formations - artifacts is what you call them. Because of...Shall we say...The uncertain level of control over them...These places form a kind of highly active smuggling trail. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_42">
        <text>What's wrong with you man? We laid a path just so that we wouldn't have to run into the fellows from the Duty faction if we wanted to get to the Big Land for something. Though they still hang around here from time to time, at least they don't know anything for now, so you might be able to get around them.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_43">
        <text>I'm just coming back from Yantar. Thought I'd pass something off to the scientists as usual, but they're all locked in their bunkers, don't go out even during the day, if only to another propeller. So if you're planning to head in that direction, you might as well change course...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_44">
        <text>There is research going on in the Yantar zone, but recently more zombies are beggining to hang around those parts. So we're defending the entrances.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_45">
        <text>I don't even know what to tell you. I just wanted to get back into our complex - it's called Yantar, as you probably know. I heard it used to be just plain dangerous, but now it's simply impossible to get through... Maybe they're exaggerating?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_46">
        <text>I was at Yantar, the scientist are completely dead there: They keep sneaking around and hiding...They're living only off of the supplies the spinners drop off, especially since there are a lot of zombies there now. If you spend a week living there among them, you'll start sneaking around yourself. That's the kind of place it is. Not very pleasant.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_47">
        <text>To the dogs with him. Who does he think he is to be hanging out with zombies?! So many of them in that stupid complex - and they just keep on coming. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_48">
        <text>We're trying to stop the movement of zombies from the laboratory complex. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if you joined since we have a shortage of men...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_49">
        <text>You know, we're also gathering various data. For instance, I'm researching the main ways in which the quasilives, that is zombies according to your terminology continue to spread. Would you be willing to share your findings with us?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_5">
        <text>Yeah that's about it...Some feed off the Garbage, collecting little junk, others penetrate deeper into the Zone. Naturally, there you can find much better items, but not everyone will want to go there. That's no place for rookies, and if you don't have any ammo, don't even think about going there. You won't make it back alive. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_50">
        <text>Did you get to shoot at the zombies climbing out of the laboratory windows? Well you better watch it - they're not afraid of anything, don't feel any pain, in other words, wretches without any brains.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_51">
        <text>I'm going to apply for a position in the laboratory! haha, hey man, relax - I'm kidding. You know that if you wander into these parts, you're as good as dead. Best case scenario, you'll turn into a zombie.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_52">
        <text>I'm warning you: Don't go into the lab. Well, if you really want to go then go, I won't force you to stay. Just don't expect to come back alive.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_53">
        <text>You see, I would like to warn you. You shouldn't go into the laboratory. In fact nobody should go there: It seems to be linked to major alterations, psychological and metabiological on indivudials that have been there. From what I have seen these affects are unreversible.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_54">
        <text>There! Now I'm going to shed some light on you...enlighten you...basically will save the lost sheep. So here's the deal man: don’t aim your skis towards the laboratory complex. It's shady there, very shady. People disappear there, and then at times come back to haunt you at night. Only these aren't some vampire horror stories, but the real truth about zombies. That's how it is.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_55">
        <text>Have you seen our smart asses, the color of the United, damn, Nations? Lately they're completely chickening out. Gotta call in the whole regiment along with the air force for protection just to take a few steps off the base.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_56">
        <text>What's it to you? Don't bother them with stupid questions, and then they'll leave you alone as well.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_57">
        <text>You see, we usually don't leave the bunker without the necessary protection: the conditions of the surrounding territory just don't permit it. I'm sort of an exception - don't really like large expeditions and all its fuss. In any case, I'm afraid I can't tell you anything helpful for the time being.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_58">
        <text>I get a kick out of our happy science! I just totally dig it, man. It usually doesn't show its face out of the bunker. And even if it does show its face, like it did the other day - by the gods! Troops everywhere, propellers, armor technology! They might as well haul a battleship here, or at least an armored train.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_59">
        <text>It's already the third day that I'm hanging out here, observing. There's a laboratory here, but nobody's gone in it since the very beginning. The Dutiers used to purge zombies on the top layers, but now they stopped completely, right? Still scientists had to go in there, and That means they found a way to protect themselves, only the devil knows from what. So I'm thinking, why not snoop around, find out - I bet there are so many goodies there that you may as well rake them in with a shovel.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_6">
        <text>In the last few days whole packs of animals are coming out of the Dark Valley. What's forcing them out of there is unclear, but they're really pushing out of there, as if from a fire. In the eastern sector the mutants are breeding like flies, all we can do is keep shooting them down. So that's the news.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_60">
        <text>And what are you looking for here? Also trying to get into the laboratory? Did you hear a fairy tale about magical instruments and piles of artifacts? Man...when will you idiots ever learn?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_61">
        <text>I work here, young man. Simply work here, carrying out my duty before science and humanity. If you are like every other person that has been through here then I bet your searching for the laboratory. If thats why your here then I don't know anything and don't want to know. This topic doesn't interest me and never interested me, is that clear?!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_62">
        <text>Maybe the brains really did come up with some sort of instrument? I wonder what's hidden in that damned laboratory. Even if there aren't any goodies there, it's still interesting.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_63">
        <text>I'm wondering - maybe I should join Freedom? There's their base, in the old army warehouses. Why not? They seem like pretty smart guys, and so what if they're a bit disorganized? It's even better that way: I don't need to be disciplined, I know what I'm supposed to be doing - not like this is my first month here.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_64">
        <text>You're not too friendly with Freedom, are you? Fine, fine, don't get all upset. I think that soon we'll run them off of the warehouses. They don't have any organization nor any discipline - a big herd. A pack of beasts, and yet they dare stand up against us, those poor NATO fledglings.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_65">
        <text>I met up with one of the Duty men when there was a cease-fire. We talked, and I found out the man's actually smart, but shit he's as narrow-minded as a tank. You see, our philosophy is completely different from theirs: You can only tame the Zone, assimilate it, but not destroy it. To do it we need open access to all of the information: Someone will come up with something eventually, but they're all about "close it", "lock it" and "don't spread it around"...Retards, complete retards. On the other hand, it makes sense. when the whole political machine is behind you, you're not supposed to think outside of the box.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_66">
        <text>There's a little cottage here that used to be pretty calm, but now there are some creeps breeding here. Better loop around, so that's why I'm going around... Hey man, I warned you.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_67">
        <text>Soldier, Pay attention, I don't want to keep repeating my self: The bloodsuckers have made nest in the village, and be careful there might be something else hiding there...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_68">
        <text>There's nothing new, since all the artifacts are gone. Only thing left is the cottage here that bloodsuckers used to live in, but I think we shot all of them since it has been pretty quiet. For some reason I just can't go back in there. Intuition, maybe, but I can't, No way. I feel... Death is waiting there....</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_69">
        <text>I'm getting the hell out of here! Bummed around for four weeks on the border, and I am done - Thats enough for me! Freaks are constantly coming over here from the direction of the Scorcher, and each day more and more of them...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_7">
        <text>Now many have become "trashmen". Before they didn't used to even look in the piles - such high radiation that it'll hard-boil eggs for you in half an hour. Now that it's gotten harder with the goodies, they'll wrap themselves in protection, take some chemicals, and climb in to look. There's all sorts of stuff there, maybe even some stuff that are really worth it, but most of it is just crap...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_70">
        <text>If you're coming here, to our blockade, then I respect you. If not - get the hell out of my sight! We need real men and not sissies. We got enough of those already...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_71">
        <text>You're here for the blockage? All the better - at least one more normal person will be here. We organized this thing and held it together pretty well, but then all the beasts had to come our way! Now things are tough and every gun pointed the other way is going to help in someway.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_72">
        <text>Aren't you up to date? The way to the center of the Zone has been opened! Either it opened on its own or someone tried really hard - if so thanks to them whole-heartedly. Now all you have to do it gather the finest goods!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_73">
        <text>You might have waited, soldier. Don't run after everything. Do you know what's over there, what's waiting for you, or even if it's worth it? You don't even have to answer because I no you don't. So why the hell are you trying to break through like a rhino on the attack?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_74">
        <text>The way to the center is free, understand?! Now there's a straight path right to the center! Now everyone is gonna haul over there. Who ever gets there first will get the best things there, so if your planning on going you should start heading there now.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_75">
        <text>Keep on trucking ahead - you'll see everything yourself! Don't you want to see for yourself what's going on ahead? Well then you're totally...blessed. There must be so many goods there! For example, you heard about the Granter of Wishes, right?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_76">
        <text>Just like children, for goodness sake! "Wish Granter", "Klondike of Artifacts"... Hopefully they'll at least be able to come back crying!</text>

    <string id="dm_action_info_77">
        <text>I want to find out myself what's beyond the horizon, guy! What if we'll be able to find out, in one blow, all the explanations for why the Zone is the way it is?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_78">
        <text>Did you see the skyscrapers? That's already Pripyat. The station is right behind it. Oh how I wish to get in there... If it weren't for the little knowledge of creatures that roam there I might have gone already...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_79">
        <text>Let me explain. There's Pripyat. Behind it - Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, most people call it NPP. What's going on there and who's inhabiting these parts, is unknown. That's where you have to go if you want to find something very unusual.</text>

        <text>I am not up to date! I'm just heading towards the bar, to chat with folks. What, you've never been there? Goodness! So here's the deal: The place your standing, just keep on moving on... North. The bar's just around the corner. It's very helpful to drop by there, especially for newbies like you. There are experienced men there, and who knows, they may tell you something you want to know. One thing, you'll run into our buddies from the Duty on the way... If you're lucky, they'll like you. If not, well then they won't.</text>

    <string id="dm_action_info_80">
        <text>Pripyat! Pinch me damn it! Finally! From here it's just a ways away to the station. Damn, hard to know though who you can run into here - what critter is sharpening its teeth waiting for you.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_81">
        <text>Listen... Are you also hearing a voice in your head, or am I hallucinating? It keeps on murmuring something over and over again...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_82">
        <text>Damn, another one...So here's the deal. I'll try to explain for the billionth time what kind of telepathic effect people here experience. Voices not heard from the outside are constantly calling them towards the center of the Zone promising to grant every wish for the one who is able to reach... what's it called?...Oh yeah, The Monolith.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_83">
        <text>Do you hear a voice in your head? It's like your conscience trying to guide you or something! Shame there's only one track though: Come to me and you'll have great happiness. It just keeps on chanting the same thing...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_84">
        <text>And you can't guess what it is? You're trying to break through to the station yourself too! Well and so are we - what else is new?! Just as long as we can get these retards off the road...</text>

        <text>There it is, Chernobyl NPP, within arms' reach. Just a bit left, but these damned bitches are so stubborn, won't let us through! No big deal, we'll clear them out in no time!</text>

    <string id="dm_action_info_9">
        <text>Hey, do you know anything about Agroprom? I wanted to go there, but everyone keeps mocking me. They keep saying the only thing left are anomalies. Do you know if they're serious or if they're just saying that to joke around? I am not sure if I should believe what the locals say...Maybe they're all in it together, just to mess around? All they need is a reason to laugh their heads off, the bastereds!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_94">
        <text>Wait! Go fast, but don't hurry too much. There are monolithians all around, they know the city in and out. Watch out for traps, I think they set them up on certain areas.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_95">
        <text>I'm warning you: For now a large portion of the city is controlled by the Monolith faction. Lots of traps - they know the city like the back of their hand. Keep a sharp eye out and check your weapons.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_action_info_96">
        <text>Oh, what I would gladly do is cover the city with a bomb carpet. Swine...the only place they're not hiding is in sand boxes and flower pots. How many people have already died because of these creeps!</text>

    <string id="dm_action_info_97">
        <text>About this Wish Granter, it might only have a few number of wishes it can give out. If some guy can asks for the whole zone to disappear, and there goes our wishes... Just so you know, if we make it to the Wish Granter, I get first dibs.</text>

    <string id="dm_action_info_98">
        <text>Duty has to break through to the center, if not first then one of the first!

    <string id="dm_action_info_99">
        <text>News of the century: Everyone who can walk and carry a weapon is here now! Anything can happen here! You just get it into your head: Anything that you wish!

We're all going to end up in the middle of nowhere, all of us!</text>

    <string id="dm_cool_info_0">
        <text> What are you talking about when there's so much old shit that you can scoop it out with a ladle. The bandits went mad, the swine!

    <string id="dm_cool_info_1">
        <text>I'm stuck here, you got it, stuck. I want to go home, and they're not letting me. That's all the facts. The other stalkers, the ones that go deep into the Zone have it different. They keep coming back with some great stuff, but a lot of them don't come back at all...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_10">
        <text>A week ago Otter burned out on the Scorcher. It'd make sense if it was some yellow-bellied rookie, but he's been a stalker many years. They say he was even on Strelok's team, and then all of a sudden...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_100">
        <text>Well I'm not really up to date with all the latest news.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_11">
        <text>You tell me this, soldier. Why do you solo types always end up doing a bunch of stupid stuff? If you want to kill your self, why don't you jump on an anomaly. Just make sure to give me all your equipment before you go though.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_12">
        <text>Screw these mercs. They've been drinking our blood for a long time, and now they've turned on the eggheads too. Why did they give in? Because of some ransom? Or to share their Nobel prizes?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_13">
        <text>Lately the mercs have become much more active. We also call them marauders. There's another kind of swine here, don't know if you heard. Kind of like bandits, except experts in the ways of war. Strange thing, they used to prefer to attack stalkers, but as of late have become more interested in scientists. But you look out in any case, I wouldn't put it past them to shoot your head off either.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_14">
        <text>Heard a rumor that the eggheads dug up something awesome. Suddenly everybody went nuts: The troops and the mercs, and even the Duty guys aren't far behind.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_15">
        <text>If you want to know about the same thing that everyone's been bugging me about for the last few days, then I'm telling you: Why don't you go over there and play hide and go fuck your self? Seriously if I knew I would have told you, but as it stands, I don't know shit! What did those scientists find? Where did our leadership go? What do I have to do with any of it?! They're off for vacation, and don't have to answer to us and explain themselves.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_16">
        <text>Ha! Everybody's gone nuts around here! The Confederate with his group have returned from a raid, dragged a bunch of artifacts in - mama mia! Of course Confederate is silent - don't utter a word, as usual - and all of his guys are joking around as if they went up to the Yukon and struck gold...the swine!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_17">
        <text>During the last few days there are all these beasts coming in from the scorcher. The people by the old warehouses constructed a barrier; for now they seem to manage. If it doesn't weaken, then the only thing they'll do is ask for reinforcements...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_18">
        <text>The Zone seems to be growing. A few days ago I saw a bloodcurdling humanoid monster near the perimeter of the Zone. I hope it didn't make it any further out...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_19">
        <text>Very possible that they're not lying about the bloodsuckers by the border of the Zone. But what does that have to do with the widening of the Zone? So a pack wandered off towards the border, so they got through. Sometimes we have to spend a few days straight patrolling! And we work just fine. Because past the perimeters nobody's screaming, "Help, we're being surrounded by mutants!".</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_2">
        <text>Yeah, it is kind of sad, after all. Just the other day Otter died, absolutely for nothing. Just can't believe it... You haven't ever heard about Otter, have you? Well, he was practically a professor - here from the very first year, he knew the Zone like the back of his hand, and then out of nowhere he's gone! There are some real experienced stalkers out there, but the Zone still takes them. Some are able to go back to the Big Land, but most eventually die. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_20">
        <text>What do you think, does the barman know the details about what the ecologists dug up? Listen, maybe he even hooked up with them? Seems like lately he finds more experienced stalkers and gives them strange assignments. Doesn't explain anything, just says, go here and there. The places he keeps assigning are dangerous and no goodies in sight. What the heck is he looking for?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_21">
        <text>Something strange is going on. The zombies that used to be afraid to go into the light are now trudging around all over the place. What the hell is that all about?!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_22">
        <text>The zombies became more aggressive and active for some reason. Before we used to purge them right in the complex itself, but now we can only hold the entrances to the complex. But you didn't hear it from me, understand?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_23">
        <text>Be careful because these walking corpses have flooded the whole territory. Very dumb and aggressive. We are constantly under siege - day and night. So it's quite dangerous here, young man.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_24">
        <text>Oooh, I bet the eggheads messed something up in that lab of theirs. There wasn't that many zombies swarming around, but now they just keep on moving, like they're searching for something...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_25">
        <text>Rumors are going around that science hired one of ours to go down to the lab. Gave him something...some kind of protective gear. Thats all I know, nothing else.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_26">
        <text>They blab all sorts of things. They even say that some nut turned up who talked with a scientist and agreed to go down to the lab for them for some reason. Now there's some nonesense!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_27">
        <text>And here's the big joke of the week! So an egghead and another guy met in a hole. The egghead says "Hey why don't you go over there with this, I will give you something good if you make it back." Then other guy says "Ok, what do I do when I get there?" So the egghead says "Nothing your not going to make it back anyways." Hahahah get it? </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_28">
        <text>I think something's brewing again. The eggheads dug something up that has everyone standing on their ears, which means that you and I won't have any peace either. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_29">
        <text>The devil knows. Just started hustling us around twice as much as before - either a blockade, or a purge. There's also more military guys started to appear more often.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_3">
        <text>It's all sad, that much I know. There's always been lots of people on the periphery, but half of them have never been deep into the Zone and there aren't enough artifacts for everyone. They even tore out and took away everything that they could from the laboratories and factories. Soon there won't be anything left to do here but open a restaurant...with an exotic view and cuisine.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_30">
        <text>I don't even know what to tell you...There's always something going on here, but within the bounds of reason. Although they don't think so on the Big Land, but you and I are, so to speak, in an anomalous zone now.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_31">
        <text>The eggheads are sniffing something out. A hell knows that secret they've already stumbled upon, but they're certainly got the troops wrapped around their little finger. And those are searching all over the Agroprom and the Dark Valley already, searching, searching, trying to find something...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_32">
        <text>With every day there's more and more crap coming out of the Scorcher, and the guys from Duty and Freedom decided to bitch around again. So they'll kill each other off, and then what? How long can we hold the border all by ourselves?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_33">
        <text>The mutants are trying harder and harder to get past the barrier. Lately it's been really hard. If some people had put an end to their retarded ways, we would have had more success!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_34">
        <text>The Duty keeps on screaming about their super-heroic deeds on the barrier. If only someone believed them...We began this deal, and we're the ones that keep it going, and on top of that many of the soloers like yourself willingly stayed behind. But those guys from the Duty....the assess..to hell with them!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_35">
        <text>I heard that Duty has totally sold out. They keep on saying something like "We're all volunteers who want to establish safety and order in the Zone"...yeah right, volunteers! Some sponsor gave these so-called volunteers so much ammo, such guns, that you'd die from envy. Yeah they sold out big time.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_36">
        <text>What rumors are going around? I'll tell you without any rumors: Soon there'll be more order. We'll purge the Zone from all sorts of beasts, and from certain asses too...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_37">
        <text>Did you hear what the guys from Duty are saying they'll do to us? The bastards start getting state-of-the-art equipment so now they want to fight us.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_38">
        <text>What news? We sit here, the animals come at us, we shoot them off, then they come again, only stronger. Granted, a few times the military propellers came by, and it seems they flew even past the Scorcher.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_39">
        <text>What news can there be...same old, same old. Mutants, Freedom...although recently soldiers started flying by on choopas. They could have at least used some of their guns to shoot some beasts around here...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_4">
        <text>News? Who cares what they say! You can't believe everything everyone says. For example, they say that some experienced stalker called something like Sherlok came from the inner areas, brought something nobody's ever seen before, impressed a ton of chicks...Well I can make up a hundred stories like that myself!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_40">
        <text>I saw some military choopers. They flew overhead and headed past the old Brain Scorcher. Well, I'm thinking, they're gonna crash now. Hung out there for a while, twirled around, and then headed back. I don't know what are they up to...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_41">
        <text>Oh now that there's a way to the center - there must be so much treasure that it can be lying right under your feet!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_42">
        <text>Now that there are ways of getting to the center of the Zone relatively safely, stalkers are drawn to it like flies to honey. Yeah... Greed really isn't humanity's greatest quality.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_43">
        <text>Now this is the life! While all those from the bar and the perimeter are still trying to get here, we'll get all the best stuff! We'll gather all the best goodies, and let the others pick up the little junk after us.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_44">
        <text>Well they say that it worked - the Granter of wishes. Somebody even managed to get to it already, but the idiot wasted his wish by asking to see his family again or something stupid like that. Hahaha. Well since military dropped it at the garbage, it won't work anymore. Monolith power is low now, i hope those bastards can be beaten now.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_45">
        <text>Listen, buddy, I know that anything can happen in the Zone. Saw it myself. But these stories about the immediate granting of wishes about a private hotel on the Carribeans is complete bullshit and nothing else.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_46">
        <text>Don't you know? Two of our guys - some of the very first who made it to the center - Actually got to the Granter of wishes. Their whole life they dreamed about islands in a warm sea, so now they must be sunbathing somewhere in the tropics.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_47">
        <text>We found a hero - The main guy from Freedom. Everyone thought that he went back to the Big Land, but actually he took a small team and somehow made it past the scorcher. Now there's a man.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_48">
        <text>In the formerly inaccessible zone one of the Freedom detachments was discovered. How did they manage to get through unharmed and survive a few weeks there? I guess we underestimated those guys.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_49">
        <text>Imagine this - they found our Mikluha, and the guys that were with him also survived! They sneaked past the brain eraser thing, and then spent a month just killing time, since couldn't get back out.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_5">
        <text>There's something sticky brewing. Rumors are going around that the leader of the Duty faction, the head honcho, didn't just leave the Zone on business, but made a deal with the Freedom faction. Well they couldn't have made the same deal in the open, because now everything's a muddle. Things don't look good. On the other hand, the experienced guys say that they started fighting back in the day for no good reason. Just hope the cabinet freaks from the Big Land don't drag us all into another meat grinder.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_50">
        <text>You heard?! The troops made it. They'll be here soon! They found out that the scorcher broke down, and decided to take all the goods for themselves!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_51">
        <text>New information has just come in: There's going to be a massive-scale landing of army troops at the station. My advice for you is this: If you want to snag at least a bit of the goodies, you better hurry.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_52">
        <text>It's a complete chaos, that's what it is! But you see, the corridor has opened, they purged the station from all kinds of shit - and there you have it, the military is ready to take advantage of it! No shame and no conscience. </text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_53">
        <text>I don't get one thing: how could the members of the Freedom faction hold out for a month here? Do they have invisible cloaks or something? There's no way!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_54">
        <text>Did you understand what's going on here? Well I just gained new respect for Mikluha! Imagine - to survive four weeks in this shit, and not to lose any guys!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_cool_info_55">
        <text>Here some of them went crazy, and they all used to be pretty tough guys, but now are slobbering like the biggest retards. Scary. </text>

    <string id="dm_cool_info_56">
        <text>The closer you get to the station, the stronger the unknown telepathic force becomes. Some have started going insane, others are traumatized and are seeing things. Maybe this is a good time to retreat a bit..</text>

    <string id="dm_cool_info_57">
        <text>Listen, people here are really losing their minds. Somebody sees a stone and begins hollering that it is his damned artifact, that he saw it first, and that everyone should go south.

    <string id="dm_cool_info_6">
        <text>The troops are bustling about - searching, digging. Before the propellers used to fly only to Yantar - protected the scientists, carried supplies and technology.

    <string id="dm_cool_info_9">
        <text>I want to warn you, soldier. The soldiers here lately seem to have gone mad.

        <text>Well who have we got here?!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_113">
        <text>And who is this we have here?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_114">
        <text>Hello, man.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_12">
        <text>If you have questions, then head straight for the bar and don't bother me. They'll tell you all about it there, and answer your questions, and ask their own. Sorry I'm tight on time.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_13">
        <text>First time here? Then I suggest you go to the bar: There your colleagues will tell you all the latest news.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_14">
        <text>Try not to get too close to zombies, and don't go to the laboratory, got it?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_15">
        <text>I don't recommend you to get near the laboratory: Too many quasilives, yeah zombies...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_16">
        <text>You know, I would suggest that you keep your distance from the laboratory complex.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_17">
        <text>You watch out for zombies - they're dumb, aren't afraid of anything. I wonder how they can stay kicking for so long. I wonder what goes on in their heads...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_18">
        <text>You watch out for zombies - they're dumb, aren't afraid of anything. I wonder how they can stay kicking for so long. I wonder what goes on in their heads...</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_19">
        <text>Watch out - if you go any further north from here you will find yourself at monolith territory. They don't like soldiers, neither us. I wouldn't go there alone.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_2">
        <text>Be careful when you get past the bridge, got it? There are too many wondering dogs there. If you don't pay attention, they'll tear you apart in no time.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_20">

    <string id="dm_intro_21">
        <text>It's as if we’re walking through a mine field, only worse. You can't even relax for a second without looking both ways.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_22">
        <text>I suggest you heighten your attention, and once you heighten it, keep it alert and don't relax. The minute you relax, Death will take you on the spot.</text>

    <string id="dm_intro_23">
        <text>Here you have to be on your toes all the time! Sleep with one eye open! Shit can happen to you any minute here.</text>

        <text>Be careful with the dick heads! They're like cockroaches here, tons of them!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_25">
        <text>Kill the so-called monolithians as soon as you see them. They would bite your balls off if they think the Monolith said so!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_26">
        <text>There are some dumb asses here, they call themselves Monoliths sometimes you might find them praying to a big statue. They are such big fanatics that they don't even care for the world around them while they pray. So, if you see one, don't think twice about it and fire right away.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_3">
        <text>Listen here. If you see a tunnel, don't go in. I'm telling it to you straight, cuz not everyone has the brains to listen. They won't even be able to carry you out afterwards - you'll be left splattered in pieces on the walls. That's life in the Zone, understand?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_4">
        <text>Why are you empty? Did you also run into the freaks under the bridge? The bitches! They almost killed me just now. Had to give them almost all of my goods! And they're sitting around, patrolling. Be it bandits, be it these troops on the checkpoints, makes no difference.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_5">
        <text>Why are you going all alone? There are lots of razor heads here, can catch you at any moment! Lately, I heard, they completely lost it - now they're even attacking the security checkpoints!</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_6">
        <text>You better be up to date. The Bandits have started pissing us off for some reason. I think they've already sent six loners to the other side, and I don't mean the other side of the fence.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_7">
        <text>Did you by any chance hear what the troops needed in the Research Institute wing? Why have they become so active?</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_8">
        <text>You be more careful here. The limitless are hiding out in the main building. In one word, they're jackals - no conscience, no mercy...they would have killed everyone off.</text>
    </string>
    <string id="dm_intro_9">
        <text>You shouldn't go into the Dark Valley alone. There's a nice tight bandit nest here in one of the buildings - still can't smoke them out of there. Be careful not to run into them, man.</text>
