I was going to empty the stash by the southern Swamps-Cordon changer when I found another odd one.
I was using Dez's 'No More Fences' for CS and headed slightly outside the fence boundary to see if the military could still see me out there.
No idea what was happening at first, then it went into a level-change and I ended up chasing Strelok in Red Forest.
I was up to that bit in the story, but had gone back after Yantar to sell off a few things and empty some stashes. It may well dump you wherever your next step in the story happens to be.
