Find the artifact Flash

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

"The assignment is simple and the pay is good. You have to find the artifact Flash. Don't even ask who ordered it and why. Well, will you do it?"

- Barkeep

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 artifact and off load it for a pittance? By LA standards, Barkeep pays fairly good money for easy work.
 * This is the fourth such mission of this type given by Barkeep and completion is required for progression to the other (more rewarding) missions.
 * The mission is repeatable.

Trivia

 * The Flash is a required precursor for the manufacture of the Snowflake.
 * The Flash also tends not to respawn on the gameboard.
