Scientists are Soviet intellectuals who live and work in the region of Tunguska.
Overview[]
They are primarily based in Science Town, where they operate the local nuclear plant. However, they can be found wandering elsewhere, including near the KGB Base. Oddly, despite being government scientists, KGB Agents will fire upon them if they get close to said base. This indicates that they have limited access to government facilities other than for scientific work.
Unlike their American counterparts, Tunguska Scientists are both men and women. They are clad in white and red uniforms, like militarized lab coats. While their thoughts do include mention of experimentation, often desiring to do so on their fellow man, they also express displeasure with their job.
It’s implied that the Yetis, a larger, stronger variant of albino Blisk were the result of experiments conducted by local Scientists.
