> . . . [ SOMEWHERE IN THE MOJAVE ] Moonlight bathed the Mojave dunes, casting long shadows over Boone’s stoic silhouette. He sat apart from the camp, eyes fixed on the smog-choked stars, a silent sentinel in the vast emptiness. Nearby, you rummaged through a pile of scavenged gear, oblivious to the sniper’s heavy gaze.

He looked away, masking his emotion behind a wall of practiced indifference, waiting for the Courier to speak first.
