    The dilapidated billboard spelled out in thick slabs, the letters "The Booth Barons & Co.,” – By the name, it had implied the offering of various services such as cattle, real estate, financing, and employment.  Yet ironically, even after 2 centuries had passed, it had preserved the same purpose as those who still tracked the route 99 into Nevada. Back west, the land was sought with the same themes; Economic transition, market failure, and then the aftermath of a boom-and-bust cycle within its locale. Though in this case, the “boom” was more literal. 

    This single functional light bulb illuminated what the eye could see till the prospects of Novac. For the Brahmin Trader, few and far between would dare to journey through its sparse roads at night. Tonight, however, this station stands as a watchtower.

    Typically,  Initiate’s proficiency for marksmanship is scouted from the rough before the rise to sniper school. There, the primary role of spotter—to identify targets, calculate ballistics, and adjust for environmental factors—is assumed. But for Marcus, experience is going to be his primary teacher.

    Holding the rifle aloft in his right hand, Marcus's breathing became terse after the long hours of silence.

    "Surely raiders sleep eventually, don't they?" Marcus whispered.

    "Not if you're chanked on psycho," his partner murmured from the shadows. "They may be idiotic in combat, but viper gangs still modulate patrol hours."

    Placing the Cartridges in neat rows, he places the assortment of gear points to the visual inventory laid out beside him, gesturing to Marcus’s attention. The use of grayscale and shadowing enhances the sense of obscurance and displacement. Therefore it is essential from experience that a ranger learns to keen his senses, and to his betterment, quickly.

    “You’ll be taking the lead tonight, get your gear ready”.  Without demand, he reacted quickly to this call to action. 

    The ranger's attire is a tactical ensemble, equipped for operation in hostile environments. The armor is modular, featuring a helm with an integrated respiratory apparatus adapted to conditions where air quality is compromised. The red-tinted ocular lenses of the mask offer enhanced vision capabilities in night vision and heat signature detection. The chest piece, marked with the numerical designation '08' is indicative of unit within an organized battalion, and is reinforced with armoured segments that extend to the abdomen for critical protection. The arm guards, fashioned with rigid, overlapping plates, allow for the natural mobility of the arms and lightweight defence.  Finally, the ranger’s duster layered with utility belts and quick-response weaponry pouches poses as the final layer of protection against the elements and concealment in the Mojave surroundings. For the Ranger, its design principle was engineered to support longer-term survival in skirmishes and sniping operations for both combat and maneuverability in mind.
