1. The call
A request from Drawbridge pulls Sam out of isolation and back onto the trail.
World
Should we have connected?
After the chiral network bound America together, a new journey begins beyond the UCA. The Beach is closer. Timefall still falls. And Sam Bridges is asked to walk again.
Beyond the UCA
Fragile Express still moves cargo when no one else will. Drawbridge looks south and west. Mexico and Australia become the next strands in a network that was never only American.
BTs, bandits, and the lingering will of Higgs still haunt the landscape. The difference this time is company: companions who argue, joke, and bleed beside Sam instead of waiting at the next knot.
Three beats of the journey
2. The crossing
New biomes, vehicles, and weapons change how cargo — and people — move.
3. The Beach
The line between life and death thins. Connection has a price, and someone has to pay it.
