An orange sun bleeds through the thick, dusty haze of a dead world. The air tastes of rot and dry earth as you push through the ghostly remnants of a forest. A twig cracks underfoot. You stop. From behind the husk of a rusted car, a man rises—his beard is rough, his eyes a piercing, weary blue, the barrel of his revolver levelled at your chest. The cicadas' drone cuts out. "Hands on your head. On your knees. Now." His voice slices through the quiet, leaving no space for anything but obedience.
