:43:31
Presumably a meteorite fell down
here about twenty years ago.
:43:37
It had burned down the settlement.
:43:40
They searched for this meteorite,
but never found it, of course.
:43:46
Why "of course"?
:43:48
Then people began disappearing here.
:43:52
They came here and never returned.
:43:57
So it was concluded...
:43:59
that this meteorite
was not really a meteorite.
:44:05
At first...
:44:09
they circled the place with barbed
wire to scare off the inquisitive.
:44:17
All this gave rise to rumours
that there's a place in the Zone...
:44:25
where wishes come true.
:44:27
Naturally, they began to guard
the Zone like the apple of their eye.
:44:35
Who knows what kind offish
someone might cherish.
:44:40
What was it if not a meteorite?
:44:46
I told you, no one knows.
:44:49
And what do you think?
:44:53
Nothing.
Or anything.
:44:59
A message to mankind,
as one of my colleagues says.
