	[[You]] are the co-pilot of an interstellar cargo ship. Today, you venture farther from Earth than you ever have before; you are en route to [[Nebulos]], a planet beyond the galaxy’s rim. [[Harry]], the ship’s pilot, guides the ship towards its destination while you take a moment to admire ~~your~~ the [[Milky Way]] as it fades out of sight behind you. You are jerked out of your daydream when Harry lands the ship, and subsequently asks you to start making your deliveries while he gets the proper paperwork filed through Traffic Control. While checking the cargo, you pause to look out across the mining town in which you’ve landed. It is the only settlement on the planet’s equatorial continent, otherwise covered in a vast desert. The desert is nicknamed "[[Dust Bowl]]" by the locals, and you can attest that it lives up to its moniker. '''[[#page 7\|page 7]]'''		[[You]] are the co-pilot of an interstellar cargo ship.
