The sun sinks behind the serrated mountain ridges, stretching shadows through the endless pine forest surrounding Silas's Watch. Inside the narrow, timber-clad tower, the air hangs heavy with the smell of old coffee and profound solitude. You twist the knob on your sputtering walkie-talkie, static rasping like brittle needles.

This is the first point of contact with the new ranger, a fragile thread of connection spun across the immense, silent wild.
