Find the Meat chunk artifact

 is an optional side-mission featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

"Some padres have stopped by, left an order for a Meat chunk. You know, they have a certain interest in this healing artifact... those rotten miracle-workers! Anyway... You gonna do it? It’s up to you."

Overview

 * The side missions in Lost Alpha are largely symbolic, reward the player far more frugally than in the base game, and detract from the game generally. Why would a player hunt down a reasonable artefact and off load it for a pittance? By LA standards, Barkeep pays fairly good money for easy work.
 * This is the first such mission of this type given by Barkeep and completion is required for progression to the other (more rewarding) missions.

Trivia

 * Even the Blind Dog towards the Military Warehouses could be encouraged to die in a local anomaly and spawn one.
