Black Sheep Overview and Rewards

Location and Mission Info

Black Sheep Mission Info
Starting Location	STC Malachite, Malachite
Quest Giver	Viktoria Dorozhnyuk
Mission Description
I didn't expect to find a scientist standing behind the counter, but even in this capacity, Prof. Dorozhnyuk shows her commitment to Malachite's cause. She asked me to find some stalkers who went missing while collecting research data, and I agreed to help. Her concern for others appears genuine, but even if she's only helping those stalkers to resolve her issues with Ozersky, it's still better than leaving them in the lurch.

Completion Rewards

Note: Having the Ward Badge you get for showing the Unusual PDA to Korshunov and Dalin during Back to Slag Heap will help you get all of Black Sheep's rewards, easily.

You can decide whether to give it to them, kill them, or tell them that you're not their enemy by showing your Ward Badge.

Kill the Wardens

Talk to Trachuk after this to give him the flash drive.

Wrong way, Soldier! (Ward Badge Option)
