S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (series)/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

* It comes as a disappointment to this troper that the underground labs do not take up more space on this page. Okay, picture this. You just fought your way across an extremely dangerous area of the Zone, swarming with bandits, various mutants (including bloodsuckers and snorks, fun times), and boatloads of anomalies, not to mention the radiation. You killed the bandit leader, and made your way to an abandoned factory, to find a blast-type door hidden in a tunnel underneath it. You enter the lab, and it's about 90% pitch black the whole time. There's a dead body literally five feet from the entrance, and a skeleton in the corner. You loot the body (keep in mind you're guaranteed to be on the edge of your 60kg carry capacity already), hear a noise, and turn around. [[Nightmare Fuel|The skeleton seems to have moved about a foot towards you.]] Getting goosebumps on the back of your neck, you turn back towards the staircase to see a floating crate in the air. Cue the crate smashing you in the face, taking out half of your health bar. Bandaging up, you proceed onwards to find snorks, which are {{spoiler|the remains of a military team sent into the lab.}} You take them out, pushing the innate desire to shudder at their [[Hell Is That Noise|ragged, strained, barely audible breathing]] into the back of your mind. After navigating a hallway full of [[Kill It Withwith Fire|burner anomalies,]] you find the corpse of a scientist who used to work in the lab who has a passcode on him. Keep in mind the whole time you're being pelted with anything that isn't nailed down (literally), and the only way to stop it is to kill all of the poltergeists in the lab, which are fast moving and near-impossible to hit, much less kill, especially considering that the only light you're guaranteed to have is your flashlight. Then you encounter a [[Oh Crap|pseudogiant,]] which isn't that big of a problem since you took an AK-74 with grenade launcher earlier in the lab. Or at least you would have, if you could carry any more. After using up what little ammo you may have left (or part of your large stockpile, [[Your Mileage May Vary|it depends]]) on the beast that you could hardly see, you find another passcode. After finally making your way to the room with the documents you need, you find indescribable experiments (evidently on the psyche of the human mind, going by the wires hooked up to their brains, and the Poltergeists) as well as a special poltergeist, that shoots flames at you. But the fun doesn't end there, you then have to fight your way back out of the lab, through a mix of a [[Elite Mooks|Spetsnaz]] strike team, and bandits who showed up wondering what all the commotion was about. [[Sarcasm Mode|Have fun trying to get out of there as fast as you can while being unable to move at any rate faster than a hobble due to wounds and a bulging backpack.]]
