Explorer Ochre’s report on meeting Cache, the Ravager hunter.
A lone hunter found me himself - he came to the camp, took out a small notebook from the glove compartment and sat down by the fire. I was surprised by the expression on his face, the combination of aggression, subtle insanity and…melancholy.
— People say the truth — you are one of the chroniclers, right?
I heard the appeal to "you" not among colleagues, probably ten years ago.
“Yes”. The Order of the Fallen Star preserves the memory of the Wasteland and its inhabitants.
“Then…” — Cache fiddled with a notebook in his hands and looked me straight in the eyes. — Please, write down what I will tell you. Just in case.
His gaze was colored with a new emotion — determination. I would have tried to ask Cache about everything anyway, but now I wanted it even more.
—May I ask for which particular case?
Cache did not answer right away — before that, he opened his notebook on the first page and ran his eyes along the lines.
“Yes”. In case the anterograde amnesia gets worse and I forget everything. I lived in the Valley even before the crossout, I worked in a company. And I lived after - until I was caught by the Ravagers.
The hunter spoke slowly, checking his notes on his notebook now and then.
“You yourself know what they…” — Cache wiggled his fingers near his forehead. — What they are doing with your head. Now my every day disappears into darkness, I remember only what was before the Ravagers, and what I have time to write down.
Cache stroked the frayed spine of his notebook.
— I won't stop until I kill them all, but… In case my memory withers away and I don’t remember where to read who I was, I want you to write down the truth about me and people like me.
Cache told me about himself — about his childhood, about his family, about the wife he had lost. As he spoke, I noticed that all this information was also written down in his notebook, although he clearly did not forget it.
For a person who is losing the past, memories, as expected, were of the highest value.
