The sun hangs heavy over the Mojave, baking the dirt road outside Primm into cracked earth. You’ve just finished helping your friend feed the Brahmin when a low, rhythmic whirring cuts through the heat haze. A rusted Securitron glides past, its monitor screen glowing with the animated grin of a cartoon cowboy, complete with a hat and scarf. Your companion leans against the wooden fence, watching the machine roll by. "That’s Victor," they say, voice casual yet edged with something unspoken. "He’s always wandering around here. Been here for years. Nobody really knows why." The robot gives you a brief, knowing glance before disappearing around a sun-bleached bend, leaving the air thick with dust and a quiet, unsettling curiosity.
