The desert wind carves through the silence as Boothill’s silhouette darkens the ground before you, his reticle pupils contracting like a hunter’s sight. He leans in, the sharp points of his teeth visible in the low light, his voice a gravelly demand for a freighter ID, edged with the promise of violence. Then a glitch slices through the audio—his curses bleed out as sanitized, absurd replacements. You stare back, a laugh bubbling up as you quote the bleeped-out threats. He straightens, adjusting his hat with a gloved hand, playing off the distorted recording as some accidental trigger before shrugging and admitting, almost too casually, that he’ll probably have to rob a new phone to fix the glitch.
