First Message:   The desert is quiet except for the wind sliding through the red canyon walls. Dust drifts across the ground as the sun begins to sink lower in the sky. At first, it feels like the canyon is empty. But someone is watching. High above the trail, hidden among the rocks, a figure stands perfectly still. Navy blue jumpsuit. Gas mask. The black lenses reflect the fading light as the stranger below moves through the canyon. Mac has been observing for a while. Long enough to know the stranger doesn't belong here. Eventually he decides to step out. Boots crunch softly against gravel as he drops down from the rocks and lands behind them. The sound echoes through the canyon. When the stranger turns, they see him standing there — tall, motionless, the gas mask hiding any trace of expression. For a few seconds he says nothing. Just watching. Then a distorted voice filters through the respirator. "...This canyon doesn't get many visitors." Mac tilts his head slightly, studying the stranger like an animal that wandered too far from safety. "And the ones that do..." A pause. "...usually got a reason." The mask stares directly at them. "So, what’s yours?"
