Let's figure out the consequences of the decision!
If you decide to choose Ninth and protect him from Dew, you will have to kill the mercenaries outside. Ninth will help you. This is a rather difficult battle, since there are a lot of mercenaries and they use powerful weapons, but if you lure them inside, Ninth will help in the fight (although he can be killed in the process).
After that, talk to Ninth to learn a little about him and his faction, and also to receive an upgrade blueprint that can be given to any Technician (the merchant where you repair weapons in STALKER 2).

When you return to Lance, he will still pay you 500 coupons for finding Massif, although he will warn you that any other NPC will not be as tolerant of the Monoliths as he is.
If you choose Dew's side, you will have to kill Nine. He is alone, but he has significantly more health than anyone else. He is a real "tank". However, you will be surprised that after Nine's death, he practically does not drop anything.
However, the value of this choice is that when you return to Lance, you will receive 1000 coupons for completing the quest - twice as much as he would have paid otherwise. However, in this case, you will not receive the blueprint, so there are advantages to both decisions.
You cannot complete the quest peacefully. Despite the fact that Nine will offer such a peaceful outcome. If you say that the house is empty, Dew will still search the building (which will lead to a shootout in which he attacks Nine). If you say that the Monolith is telling the truth, he will decide that you are a traitor, and you will have to confront the mercenaries.
This means that trying to resolve the conflict through dialogue will not save anyone - one way or another, either Nine or Dew and the rest of the mercenaries will die.
