Vigilant Commune is putting its all into overcoming the aftermath of the Nightmare Fuel and moving forward as a civilization.

Rider is not like that. She's not interested in the distant, bright future of humanity. She's interested in her motorcycle, the navigation drone she built by herself, and how to bring back more goods to sell from her next ruin trip in the rocky wastes.

Others avoid her - she seems too down-to-earth and material, but time will tell - maybe this is the right way.
