Came across a ghost town and thought I might find something there, ended up running into the same damn mercenaries who had been trying to kill me this whole time. [ Nate waves his hand. ] Gunfight, armed trucks, rocket launchers. I think it was the explosions that attracted the attention of the local Bedouin. Saved my ass and took me to their oasis.
