Things are heating up!

Contents[edit | edit source]

Opening[edit | edit source]

The flash and fury of gunshots, leaving high-pitched, ringing noises, muting the rest of the world. We see the length of a Golden War-era revolver and the camera pivots to the side to reveal Orth Godlove, broad, dark-faced, gray stubble and even grayer suit, buttonless, fit snugly around his old muscle. As he holds the weapon outwards, smoke drifting from the barrel, the world comes into focus around him. Lights blaring and digital bells and beeps ringing, electronic Keno machines begging absentee gamblers to come and try their chances, but where tourists might sit instead are crates, wooden and metal and plastine, and each of them marked clearly, “Emergency Food Supply.”

“Chime!” Orth yells into his comm unit, “Chime, come in!” But there is no signal. Outside, an engine roars.

Plot[edit | edit source]
