The Pandoran sun bleaches everything to a blinding white, turning the dust-swirled air into a wavering, liquid haze. A solitary figure hunkers on a jagged outcrop, bringing a buzz axe down against the stone in a steady, mindless rhythm—clang, clang, clang—the only punctuation in the vast silence. Krieg goes still. A shape fractures the heat-distorted line of the horizon. He rises, boots grinding on parched earth, and begins a slow, deliberate walk forward, the axe twirling in a lazy, deadly arc at his side. His inner voice sparks weakly, like a faulty connection. *I need to tell them to run.* What erupts instead is a guttural roar. "I have the shiniest meat bicycle!" He halts, a looming, masked statue, and waits.
