Summary
Since before he was born, Igor’s headstone was fated to be the Sarchophagus of the CNPP. Its radioactive light is a flame to so many misguided moths, and he was no exception. Stepping into the Zone with no intention of ever coming back out, filled with nihilistic ambitions of ascending to the top of the radioactive garbage heap, he carves a path to the center just as so many have tried, and failed, before him. It cannot be done alone.
Other Stalkers from all walks of life are drawn to him, just as the CNPP draws them all inexorably nearer. Misery and the promises of riches acquaints one with strange bedfellows, after all.
Those who travel the Zone with him will be lost to oblivion, that much is already set. But his are not the only ambitions in the Zone. SIRCAA and the ever-enigmatic Syndicate have their own plans for this psychotropic goldmine which are beginning to attract attention from the world at large, in the shape of a five-letter organization with a mandate to Secure, Contain, and Destroy.
No crossover content contained within. Based on a collection of Stalker: Anomaly playthroughs, supplemental material to Split Second Decision, a Cyberpunk fanfic.

Summary
Rebooting, Please Wait - - -
A choice made in an instant sends Rebecca colliding not with a preordained demise, but an impossible world lying mere microns beneath the nigh-impenetrable rust and crust of the ravenous concrete megastructure calling itself Night City. On that climactic night when everything came to a screeching halt, what if Rebecca had been ever so slightly to the right?
Two tales of woe intersect beneath Memorial Park, threads of disparate stories woven together by happenstance and gut judgment, and Rebecca finds herself in the midst of a crew of Edgerunners that managed to beat Night City's impossible odds, still tempting fate after three Red decades on the Edge. With an ounce of their luck on her side, perhaps she'll live to see a third decade of her own.
Or: Rebecca runs into a gaggle of old Cyberpunk RED PCs after a brief instant of otherwise uncharacteristic self-preservation.
