Melita is an independent scrapper who used to make her living as an intermediary between the Stalkers who illegally braved the Zone and the mutants who needed the parts they brought back. Ever since the Ark made venturing into the Zone legal, her business has dried up. She bought the debt of Sira hoping that an assistant with keen eyes would let her get back on top of the game, but Sira quickly became a disappointment. After hearing that her slave had a “parasite” that would take months to treat, Melita happily sold the woman’s debt to Charmin.
