Train Station

* Train Station
* Murky's Train Car

The **Train Station** (*Станция*) is a train station located in the lower end of the Knots Quarter.

## Description

The Train Station is split into two parts: the Passenger Station and the Cargo Hold for humans and cargo respectively. As the Town exists in the rural space of the Steppe, the Train Station is the only way in and out of the town, both for people and for supplies. The Town maintains a regular shipment of meat and is sent other supplies that cannot be made or grown in the Town, such as medicine and nuts, in return. The Passenger Station is sparsely used due to interruptions of passenger trains caused by the Civil War.

Sometimes children gather at the station. It is a neutral ground in the war between the Soul-and-a-Halves and the Dogheads.

## Plot

### Pathologic

#### Bachelor Route

On **Day 2**, the Bachelor grants Alexander Saburov emergency powers. With those emergency powers, Saburov closes the Train Station, forbidding anyone from leaving the Town. The Bachelor may also attempt to leave Town with Andrey Stamatin, Peter Stamatin, and Eva Yan. However, when he arrives at the Train Station, he will find patrolmen standing around the train cars and none of the others will arrive. The Bachelor will be unable to leave the Town. This will happen regardless of whether or not the Bachelor has managed to give Saburov emergency powers.

On **Day 9**, the Bachelor can ask Commander Alexander Block about where to obtain several Rifles. Block will mention that there is a heavily guarded carriage containing rifles at the Train Station.

On **Day 11**, the Bachelor hears that Andrey Stamatin has been captured by the Army. After speaking to Block, he learns that there has been a mutiny and that it is likely Andrey had been taken to the Train Station. At the Station, the Bachelor will find several soldiers lined up, with the leader standing at the end.

#### Haruspex Route

On **Day 1**, the Haruspex arrives in a train car and is immediately confronted at the Train Station by three men. Due to a misunderstanding, they believe that he has murdered his father, Isidor Burakh, and attack him. The Haruspex defeats the attackers, but is wounded in the process. Later that day, Bad Grief will inform the Haruspex of another ambush at the station. He may choose to kill the men and take their valuables, which includes a Shotgun and Shotgun Ammo.

On **Day 10**, the Haruspex needs to talk to Grace, but discovers she is not at her home in the Cemetery. After some searching, he learns that Grace had been captured by mutineers to one of the wagons near the cannon at the Train Station. The Haruspex finds a wagon with a soldier standing guard. He must tell the guard the correct code given to him by Alexander Block - "four hundred and thirteenth" - to enter the wagon, within which he will find Grace and another soldier.

#### Changeling Route

On **Day 1** the Changeling may find a Doghead named Lika at the Train Station who has been attacked by the Haruspex and is now wounded. Lika begs for her help. If the Changeling attempts to heal him with her hands, she will instead kill him. There are also two muggers by the train cars, waiting in ambush for the Haruspex, and the Changeling can kill them.

On **Day 11**, the Changeling must find the Bachelor in order to give him a package of documents from the Inquisitor. She learns that the Bachelor has gone to the Train Station in order to rescue Andrey Stamatin from mutinous soldiers. At the Train Station, there will be a large group of soldiers standing in front of an open, empty train carriage. If the Changeling approaches, they will become hostile.

Hiding at the rocks nearby the empty train car, the Changeling will find two other soldiers who are still loyal to the Commander Alexander Block. She must help heal the injured captain, after which a cutscene will play in which the soldiers defeat the mutineers. The Changeling then learns that Andrey and the Bachelor were able to escape from the Train Station.

On **Day 1** the Haruspex arrives at the Train Station following several years of absence. When he steps off the train, he will be attacked by three men who believe that he was the man who killed Isidor Burakh. He will win the fight but be wounded. A Doghead, Lika, will have seen the whole thing. If the Haruspex asks, Lika will provide him with a tourniquet.
##### Day 2

On **Day 2**, children gather at the Station. Should the Haruspex speak with them, they will ask him to play the train summoning game with them. If follows their instructions, the sound of a train will play, but no train will appear. This unlocked the "Heavenly Train" achievement. Some children will mention that due to the shortage in supplies, children have begun to treasure sugar cubes, and other snacks like raisins, over all else.
##### Day 3

On the evening of **Day 3**, Lara Ravel will inform the Haruspex that the Passenger Station has been closed a for a year, while the Cargo Station was closed only recently.

Day 8
On **Day 8**, children at the Station direct the Haruspex to the Polyhedron, stating that he may now climb its steps. Khan and Capella can also be found at the Station, however they will treat the Haruspex coldly, and ask that he not bother them.

## Plot

### Pathologic

#### Bachelor Route

On **Day 6**, the Bachelor must examine the blood of several of the Town's women in order to determine if any of them caused the Cathedral to become infected. One of the people the Bachelor must examine is Clara. Although he finds her with Katerina Saburova, he will be unable to take her blood. In order to do so, the Bachelor talks to Grace who then tells him to find Murky. Murky teaches him how to tell the difference between the real Clara and her sister, after which the Bachelor can find Clara again to take her blood.

On **Day 12**, as Murky is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of her train car with Murky being infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Murky a Shmowder or a Panacea to cure her.

#### Haruspex Route

On **Day 1**, while investigating his father's murder, the Haruspex will be sent to Murky's Train Car to speak to Murky by Grace. Murky was one of the children who his father taught and she supposedly saw his father the night before he was killed.

On **Day 8**, Taya Tycheek will ask the Haruspex to find the ending to a story the Changeling told her in exchange for access to the Abattoir. By speaking to Capella, the Haruspex will be directed to Murky's Train Car, where the Changeling is currently residing. The Haruspex can then trick the Changeling into telling him the ending to the story by implying that the Soul-and-a-Halves thought the tragic tale was funny.

On **Day 10**, Capella will ask the Haruspex to check on Murky in her Train Car. Upon arriving, Murky will ask him to find her lost doll. Returning the doll to Murky will reward the Haruspex with a vial of Abattoir Blood and she will tell him that she found blood pooling at the base of the Polyhedron. Murky is also one of the children the Worms in the Bone Stake Lot ask the Haruspex to speak to.

#### Changeling Route

On **Day 12**, as Murky is one of the Haruspex's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of her train car with Murky being infected inside. If the player wishes for the Haruspex to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Murky a Shmowder or a Panacea to cure her.

### Pathologic 2

While Murky's Train Car is always accessible, the Haruspex has no plot-driven reason to visit it during the game's beginning.

Following the meeting of Murky's friend on **Day 6** Murky will flee from the Crowstone and disappear. She will not be at the Lair as the Haruspex assumes, but instead will be back in her Train Car, where she expresses embarrassment if confronted.
Day 7
If the Haruspex allowed Murky to die at the Crowstone, when next he sleeps, he will have a dream in which he will appear in Murky's Train Car, wherein Murky offers him advice and consolation regarding the plague. As well, a kid labeled "Friend" can be found in the Train Car in her absence. Friend tells the Haruspex that the other children cannot find where Murky has been buried, and that they were hopeful that she is still alive somewhere. He also reveals that Murky loved the Haruspex all along (despite his father's impact on her parents' fate), and that she believed the Haruspex would be able to bring her parents back to life somehow.
Day 10
On **Day 10**, if she is still alive, Murky can be found infected in her Train Car.
Day 12

### Pathologic: The Marble Nest

Murky's Train Car is located in the condemned part of the Town and cannot be accessed during the Marble Nest. Most notably, the Train Car cannot even be hovered over and Murky herself does not appear in the Bachelor's list of characters.
