This can be easily done by luring the snorks in the Vortexes which will be an instant kill. The experiment will end once all snorks are killed or after some time, so if the player isn't up to wait for the experiment to finish by itself, they will have to deal with all the snorks. After it is done, around ten snorks will jump into the anomaly. Once the player is at the Bitumen Anomaly, they must plant the detector in the center of the area. In order to verify the hypothesis, Ozersky asks the player to use a special mutant detector in the Bitumen Anomaly and see the reaction. After Degtyarev reports that he and the team he was covering was under constant attack from mutants while the team was studying the anomalies, Ozersky tells him he believes that either mutants have a territorial behavior, or can react to emissions. This mission is available from Ozersky after Anomaly research was completed. Hypothesis is a side mission available in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
