  Summary

  In this barren wasteland, golden from erosion and devoid of life, there’s no real way to hide from the ever-present sun, which hangs in the sky like an all-seeing deity. But you can hide from your augmented human, who tends to get on your nerves and whom you don’t exactly like, if you really try and—paradoxically—engage in an emotionally charged conversation. Ugh.

  Secunit once again plunges headfirst into the action, and this time it's not quite as alone as per usual. It’ll even have to deal with the reality of having to share its personal space with someone else. Double ugh!
