Cleaning out the place

 is a storyline task that is assigned automatically towards the beginning of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha standalone mod from v1.4002. It was known as "Cleaning" between v1.4002 - 1.4005.

"The guy who, according to Sidorovich, saved me decided to use my help cleaning the place from local animals. Well, let's see if I still know how to use the shooter!"

- Detailed task information

Overview

 * The player receives this task automatically after leaving the Trader's bunker on Sid's Rescue novice and retrieve the flash drive mission.
 * Proverb intercepts the player with an unavoidable dialogue and gives the player no option other than performing the mission.

Kill the second mutant accumulation

 * Talk again, receive your bins, move on.

Notes 2

 * There is opportunity to loot body parts during all of this.
 * Sometimes (startlingly often) some of the Boar end up dying in a hotspot. If looted, the player may receive a fatal poisoning overdose.
 * On the way back to either the "Novice" or Sid, west of the wagon where the Blind Dogs congregate later, a small cutscene involving a Flesh and a Whirligig plays out. The player may manipulate this cutscene if a suitable save is made as detailed in Artifact Spawns.
 * The cutscene only plays out once, no mutants or NPC ever revisits the area and the coding for the anomaly is only to spawn Stone Blood, Meat Chunk or Devil's guts or their renamed analogues. Only the latter is of practical use to the player.

Trivia

 * A mission that evolved or devolved with LADC progression.
 * The mutant infestations respawn later on. Sidorovich gives repeatable Side Missions to eliminate them.
