Meet Hiko in Chernobyl-1

After confronting Surgeon in X-17, you obtained the map and transition to Chernobyl-1; you feel this wasn't random, and you're going to investigate that location. Hiko will be waiting for you there.
This quest is unmarked and doesn't have any canonical name.
This quest has a timer; you have several hours to find Hiko.
== Walkthrough ==
Travel to Darkscape and enter the Chernobyl-1 through the newly obtained transition. You're immediately met by Courier. Speak to him; he was sent by Hiko and will guide you to the military base where Hiko is. He warns you that as you approach the base, you should follow him step by step, because of the minefield protecting the base. If you fail to do that, you might blow yourself up. Despite his warnings, you should actually run ahead of Courier and take out all mutant spawns along the way. He can easily die to a possible Splinter spawned on the roadside.
You will see Hiko in the center of the base. Talk to him to discuss your next steps, starting Assault armaments.
After that, talk to Courier again to find out about the situation in Chernobyl-1.
Three weeks ago, a large mercenary group moved into the base at the center of the location, and installed some kind of force field over it, so anybody attempting to cross it is killed within several seconds.
Mercs also wiped out the Duty, who were occupying the location before. The remaining squad is located in the [ grocery store] basement. You can talk to their leader Captain Savitsky and start the quest Hopeless situation.
The local old man named Native also survived the merc assault; he can be found in one of the houses to the south. Another survivor is Bill, the merchant who runs the bar at the basement of the [ convenience store]. He still runs it, but the bar serves mercenaries now. You can try shaking them up, see Bar Heist.
