Coen Marsh has run the Hollow Roads for twenty years. He's carried worse cargo for less money and never once asked what was inside. This time, someone told him not to. Three rules, repeated twice each: don't speak to the recipient, don't ask questions, and whatever happens — do not open the package. It's lighter than anything this guarded has any right to be. Between here and the delivery point lies a Compact checkpoint, raider territory, and every reason in the world to break every rule he's been given. #oc2026
