2. VDNKh, Artyom's home metro, was in danger. This was due to a gate to the surface that became jammed open. Because the gate could not be closed, radiation and other inhuman horrors could freely enter into the station. Artyom was one of the people revealed to be responsible for the gate being opened.
3. After Artyom's shift had ended, a man named Hunter arrived at VDNKh. Hunter knew Artyom's stepfather, Sukhoi, but turned his attention to Artyom when he noticed the hopelessness in Sukhoi's tone.

What item did Hunter give Artyom to show Melnik when he got there?
4. After saying his goodbye to Sukhoi, Artyom left VDNKh with a convoy that was going to retrieve some electrical wires. Little did anyone know that Artyom would be deviating from them after their stop at Rizhskaya. At Rizhskaya, Artyom met Bourbon. Bourbon offered to pay Artyom if they went through the dreaded Sukharevskaya-Turgenevskaya tunnel together. He offered to pay Artyom the currency of the metro. What was used as currency in the metro system?
5. Venturing through the ominous tunnel leading to Sukharevskaya, Artyom and Bourbon both felt that something was very wrong.

8. Before the Nazis could execute Artyom, Artyom was rescued by a group of independent Communists. After freeing him, they dropped him off at Tverskaya. That station was near Hansa territory.
