With the precision of a seasoned gunslinger and the stealth of a shadow, he made his way to the engine car. The lockpick set he had acquired earlier now proved its worth, allowing him silent entry into the heart of the steel beast.
Inside, amidst the hiss of steam and the pulsing heat of the furnace, Clay found the control panel—a complex array of levers and gauges that thrummed with the train's lifeblood. His hands, though unfamiliar with the intricacies of locomotive engineering, were guided by intuition and a desperate need for answers. Adjusting valves and disrupting the flow of steam with methodical care, he initiated an emergency stop protocol hidden within the machine's ancient mechanics.
The effect was immediate and jarring. The train, once a relentless force cutting through the night, began to shudder and groan, its momentum bleeding away as steel wheels screeched against the tracks in protest. Then, with a final, beleaguered sigh, the train came to a stop, shrouded in silence and darkness, somewhere between nowhere and the next mystery.
