The journey to the city was a hot one but, thankfully, it wasn't as long as it had been when Rook had first settled in the sand. The sand bike that Prompto had found and brought back had cut the time in half, not to mention how much energy it saved from not having to walk that far in the heat. It had allowed for a bit more exploration and resource savaging and now...
Well, now it was almost on empty, according to the gauge in the console. This was going to be one of the last rides they'd get unless they found a way to refuel it. Soon. Especially since this particular ride was carrying so much extra weight. It was built to carry one, they'd made it work with two, but Scott had rigged up one of the empty lockers to act as a kind of sled, dragging it behind them with a rope made of twisted sheets. It wasn't the safest thing in the world, but Scott drove carefully so as to not dislodge the passengers on the makeshift sled.
Carefully enough, in fact, that they made it to the city proper before the 'rope' came away with a ripping sound that was far too loud in the unnatural silence.

"Shit! Hang on, guys!"
