Reading Hardwired - Chapter 10
In Cowboy's Hangar, Cowboy settled himself in the cockpit of one of his deltas. His presence triggered one of the alarms, so Warren came in to check. Once he knew it was Cowboy, he lowered his carbine. Warren told him everything he knew about the current situation. Cowboy was amazed by some of the news. He told Warren to prep the Detlas for a ride in the near future.

They arrived at one of the hideouts of Cowboy. It was a line shack filled with supplies of food, travelling money and a passport identifying Cowboy as a man named Gary Cooper. He retrieved a needle key for his deposit box in Butte. They stayed there for the night with kamikaze moths spiralling around the sunset flame of a kerosene lamp.

They finished their hitchhiking with the Silver Apaches. And hopped onto another truck going to the West. Turned out the two men on it were working for a cult called the Hounds of Christ. Cowboy pressed his gun against the driver's belly and told him to let them off. For the rest of the day, they didn't catch any ride. They slept in an abandoned barn for the rainy night.

Since Cowboy and Sarah left their panzer behind. They hitched a ride with a biker gang called the Silver Apaches. The group camped by a riverbank after they destroyed a migrant camp. Turned out they were a group of Eithcial Nihilists, and Sarah was sick of them after a few conversations; she felt like the group's ideals didn't align with hers.

Cowboy and Sarah hid in a brush-covered gully in Ohio after travelling a hundred miles. It's the end of the line for the panzer as it ran out of fuel. Cowboy urged Sarah to spit out what she knew about Korolev. She gave in to his tense gaze. The plan was to get to West ASAP. Cowboy had friends and resources there. The next destination for their journey was Montana.

Reno agreed to take some of the load off Cowboy and Sarah, he would use them as collateral for a loan. Reno told them to take a truck from the garage to move the crystals. Just when things started to look better. When they were moving back. A billow of smoke was rising over Reno's house, and orange flared on the underside of the cloud. They had no choice but to go back to the panzer.

Reading Hardwired - Chapter VII
As Cowboy and Sarah were taking a break in a quiet swale studded with pine, they discussed their next move. Cowboy suggested waiting for the Dodger to send some transport to get them out. Because there was not much fuel and ammunition left in the panzer. Cowboy went back inside the panzer, scanning the broadcast. And his 3D face was being shown on the screamsheet.

The engine of the panzer purred, and it began to lurch forward. The armoured bow struck the limo dead-on. The white man hiding behind darted to one side. Sarah recognised he was Cunningham's driver. The limo was crumpled like a tin can. The panzer bounded off, headed for the ridge. There, the turret gun moaned again. Turning the unarmoured truck into a beehive, killed the two men.

The convoy was waiting at a farmhouse set among shade trees. Sarah told Cowboy it was most likely a set-up. But Cowboy seemed to know what was going on. Just when the men were moving the gold to a metal truck. A rocket was launched into Andrei's car, and all hell broke loose. Sarah darted bullets at the assailants in lightning reflexes, but some of them were still hiding behind covers.

The cowboy rode the panzer at 200 miles per hour on the interstate, slaloming around cargo-carrying trucks. He refuelled in South Carolina and in Virginia. Waiting for the escort in Pennsylvania, Sarah and he had lunch in the Panzer. She was impressed that the ham in the sandwiches was real. Sarah climbed up the hatch, and she loved the view of the rolling green countryside.

As the five-ton truck finished unloading the goods into the Panzer, Cowboy said hello to Sarah. They climbed the sunbaked armour and entered the steel cabin. Sarah went to sleep in her narrow cot. It was Cowboy's job to get her through his next moment. So she let him get on with his work. The convoy started moving, they hit the interstate, and the escort departed from the panzer.

Sarah was standing at the edge of the ocean just north of St. Petersburg, where the Gulf is. Cowboy stood next to his panzer as the mechanic explained an auxiliary power unit in the panzer. Sarah started thinking back to the moment when she stepped into the Plastic Girl, how people stared at her, and how she confidently strided inside, neglecting them. The gun boy came and met her.

More and more info was extracted from Chapel. A better and clearer picture was formed in Cowboy's head. He knew Arkady started it as a cause, locating the weak links in the orbital system of distribution, finding people who were weak or bribable, and feeding the system what it needed. He decided not to tell either Chapel or Jimi what he planned to do on reasonable grounds.

Sarah ambushed the two boys from a dark room. Weasel gouged through batboy's left eye. The other knifeboy was knocked out by Sarah's forehead. Standing over their bodies, she decided to leave a political message for other streetboys, so Sarah broke some of their bones. The boys' car was taken by Sarah. She drove the Merc to St. Petersburg, sweeping past the gutted shells of Venice.
