<span class="mu-s">ANYWHERE BUT HERE!</span>
A garbled squawk echoes through the cabin in response!
<span class="mu-b">’Understood! Next stop: Umberal Skyrail Station! Please follow the Directional Taps to-’</span>
Your driver doesn’t pay attention to the instructions, not that you blame him much–no sooner did you escape the alley ambush do three other Cartel Contraptions dart out after you–each one filled to the brim with hardfaced hoods!
Speeding around the corner, it doesn’t take long for you and your pursuers to <span class="mu-i">CRASH</span> into one of Umberal’s busy thoroughfares, much to the crowds of pedestrian’s chagrin!

“ACK!” Babbles the Boilermaker, “D-DO TELL ME WHAT TER’ DO! PLEASE!”

“No fair!” Volka snarls as she preemptively raises her roof shield to bear, “We’re the ones blazing a trail an’ they just hafta’ follow us!”
It’s bad, you reply with a shrug, but you might be able to use it to your advantage too! Leaning in to address where you think the TekNav’s voice comes from, you announce that you’re gonna need directions to somewhere ELSE!
