Telegraph — stalker

Prypiat used to be different. Not safer, but calmer. And now the whole town is all edgy, you know? Something’s coming. Something bad.

Telegraph (Ua. Телеграф) is a Corps guide appearing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

Background

Due to the spotty radio interference around Prypiat, Telegraph acts as the Corps' messenger for any messages coming in and out of the city ^[1]. He is a steadfast believer in defending Prypiat, and is upset when it is overrun by the Monolith and occupied by the Ward ^[2]^[3].

Initial Meeting
I deliver messages. Radios don't work great here, and Deggy always wants to be in the loop. But I don’t like it here. The town's dead, the streets are quiet... too quiet, if you know what I mean. If you're gonna come with me, you gotta move fast. And don't look back.	First interaction.
Greetings

Make it quick, okay?	Neutral reputation.
Well? What do you want?	Disaffection reputation.
