SCENE: a wind-blasted desert landscape. In the foreground, a weathered truck rests on the side of a ruined highway. The windscreen is dusty and cracked, and the tyres have long since rotted away. A PAIR OF SCAVENGERS, clad in bulky rags, approach the truck with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Using a CROWBAR, they force open the back doors of the truck, and exclaim “Fuck it, Ted, it’s one of those dumb AI trucks!”
