Crime novel

The Chess Player has left mysterious notes with quotes from serial killers all over the Zone. Each note leads to the next in sequence, and Kostya is interested in them for some light reading.

### Return to Kostya

Kostya gives you a Guitar and reads you a poem. He also gives us the decoded information on the PDAs we gave him in his stash questline. In the courtyard of the CNPP there is a building near the crane with a ruptured pipeline that could take us to another dimension.

The teleport that this quest spawns is at the midpoint of CNPP-2, at the ruptured pipeline.

It doesn't take you to another dimension, but teleports you to the top of the tower on the reactor building where we found one of the stashes in Assembling the modules: Part 9. There doesn't appear to be anything there, and there is no apparent use for this teleport as of yet.
