ENCOUNTER: SPROCKET, THE ECHO MERCHANT
After the Span, the trail dipped into the fractured outskirts of a node relay station. Dust choked the corridors, and the walls glowed faintly from buried smartglass. This place still held whispers.
Gas Boy entered cautiously, blaster drawn.
A faint whirr echoed through the hall. Then a static voice, sputtering from around the corner:
“BUY TWO SWAPS — GET A FEE SLASH. BUY TWO SWAPS — GET A…”
Gas Boy turned the corner and found it: a rusted vendor cart with a long-dead voicebox rigged to a hologram skull. A dusty old cap rested on its crown, the Solana logo flaking off in orange flecks.
The holo stuttered and projected a flickering image — a merchant’s smile, half-corrupted.
