The Ecologists Phone Case

The Ecologists are Ukrainian scientists sent into the Zone on behalf of the government, but seem to be affiliated with outside organizations (namely, foreign governments who, knowing how dangerous the Zone is, and with their own goals towards the Zone's materials, are willing to pay more to the Ecologists than the Ukranian government does). Their main purpose is the study of all aspects of the Zone, using scientific methods to further explain what the Zone is, and its purpose. The Ecologists are neutral to all factions, and are not involved in any of their conflicts.
