Twenty years before Nightmare Moon's return, a meltdown at the Cheernobyl Magical Power Plant killed thousands of ponies and created the eldritch Zone of Desolation. It was the worst disaster Equestria faced in almost two thousand years. From this catastrophe came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and strange magical anomalies. The Zone was permanently cordoned off by the Equestrian military, who would shoot on sight anypony foolish enough to brave the horrors within... or attempt to escape.
Welcome to a world of violence and death, of terror and madness. Welcome a world of eternal suffering and fleeting kindness, where darkness ascends and the magic of friendship withers away.
Welcome to the Zone.

I like this. It is very similar to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, but different enough to make it interesting and not just the game re-enacted by ponies. I look forward to more and hope that this fic doesn't meet the same fate as the other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. crossovers. That is to say, they eternally remain incomplete and don't update.

It's a much looser adaptation than you probably realize, especially later as the plot kicks up. Thanks for the comment; tell your friends, spread the word (lol).

I agree.
It is in accidents like chernobyl or cheernobyl or nuclear havoc that i am born. I, Angel of corruption. Corruder of time. Radiation or magic radiation is my body made from. I really enjoy this. Lets see what will happen to this little fellow.

What about that ridiculous line Bourbon says in Metro: 2033? I saw that in there.
"Some call them demons, I call them bitches."
