We were just trying to get by in this godforsaken desert. Now let me get back to work." --Solstice 31 Incident Investigation Testimony Transcript: Harvey Reardon, Owner/Operator of Oklahoma Salvage, formerly known as Reardon and Sons. Questioned regarding the origin of $220,000 in gold found in his possession. <<<>>> Harvey Reardon recognized the sound in the distance of an old 18-wheeler even before the perimeter security drones notified him via Heads-Up Display (HUD). He got up from where he was lying on the ground under an old PT-137 Quad shuttle and dusted himself off. He lowered his shades, the ones that were more like goggles, and started walking back to the shop. He was rolling the stiffness out of his shoulders and grumbled as he walked. “I’m too old for this shit…” he mumbled. It was then he realized that he had lost his hat again. “Bloody hell.” In the fifteen minutes, it would take him to walk back to get it, that cursed desert sun would turn his bald head beet red.
