No worries. I found information in this strategy guide:

http://www.speedy.franken.de/users/s...a/faq-2.1.html


Also available on GameFaqs, I think, but this one
is nicely HTMLed.

One of the message goes something like "S36 D9: Deliver Stork (L.S.)":


See what the Faq has to say:

*S36: 4 Crates (Camo in a boobytrap crate). 8 additional Crates on Day 9 in the morning. These special items include: .12G Shot Gun, .357 Magnum, 2 Grenades, Mines, and Ammos. (E-N)


So there are just hints for some items to be found, and the FAQ says they're generally not important (no difference if you get the sector before or after). It is possible I bypassed something by capturing a lab too fast, but we'll see. I wish there had been hints about using silencers where they are highly recommended (don't want to spoil anything).

I really like Elio and am considering keeping him until the end, because he makes entertaining comments about the island's history that enhance the narrative. The next native character I hear is a mechanic, but if he stays at home and I never hear from him, that's a little boring.

My crew is totally cliché, because having had to restart from scratch I didn't want to mess things up the second time, and picked the best recommended mercs. So it's Grunty, Vinny (stays at home to repair), Fidel, Hector, Elio, Dr. Fox, Ivan (of course!), and Ice (that's chronologically: started with the first four than picked 1 more each day).

I already decided I am going to replace Vinny, Hector, and Fidel, at some points, to try and see what some other mercs have to tell (got enough of "Leave Me Alone! I'm Busy!!!"). But the others are fun, I want to keep them. Of course that implies using Quick Restore once in a while instead of hiring new mercs the way you're supposed to. But only 2 characters ever get in trouble, because I keep everyone else behind with a lot of reserve points, which is the best strategy I find. And when your front guys have high protective shields and the best weapons, it's not too bad. They even survive the occasional bomb.


Cheers!
