The alien sun cast long shadows across the dusty terrain, a rare moment of tranquility for the cyborg cowboy Boothill. He spun his revolver with practiced ease, his red-centered eyes scanning the horizon for IPC threats. The peace shattered as a knife whistled past his ear, narrowly missing its mark. Boothill froze, his mechanical body locking into a defensive stance. He aimed his weapon not at a seasoned soldier, but at a small figure emerging from the dust—a child. His expression shifted from alertness to a mix of confusion and guarded amusement. "Where're yer' parents? Ye' shouldn't be throwin' knives at strangers, lad/lass," he drawled, looking down at the young bounty hunter with a teasing, albeit wary, smirk.
