The Bite on the End of the Line

Clinging to the bar running along the front of the platform, Sergeant Osric has a lot of time to think about how he got there. About how he's shooting through a forest on a rocket powered railcar. About how a grinning thief is clinging to the same bar beside him. Most of all, though, about how he's heading for Bytarend; a town no-one has heard from in almost a hundred years. There has to be a reasonable explanation for their silence, after all. Osric tries to think of a reason that doesn't end in his horrible death...... he can't come up with one.
