- <p>Coughing and popping, the roadster lurches to a halt in the middle of the highway. You try to restart the engine but it refuses to run smoothly for more than a few seconds at a time. You are running over all the possible faults that could have caused the breakdown when suddenly you remember the comp-aid digipad that Cutter fitted to the dashboard while you were in Big Spring. He had salvaged the unit from the wreck of a <ch.apos/>99 Mercedes Malibu Coup<ch.eacute/> and modified it so that you could use it to run an automatic systems check on your roadster. Hurriedly you tap in your access code and immediately the unit<ch.apos/>s LCD identifies the fault: <ch.ellips/>FUEL FILTER<ch.ellips/></p>

<p>It takes you an hour to dismantle, clean, and replace the fuel filter, during which time you must take two Drinks or lose 3 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points per drink missed due to dehydration.</p>
<p>The fault rectified, the engine starts sweetly the first time you touch the ignition. You accelerate away but within a few minutes you see something in the distance that makes you slow to a snail<ch.apos/>s pace.</p>
<p>It is a girder bridge that carries the highway across the North Concho River. The bridge is intact and passable, but you are worried by the sight of a lazy plume of wood smoke rising from a spot near its approach ramp.</p>

<p>So concerted is the fire that you are both forced to cower in your armour-backed seats to avoid being hit. Then another sign appears on the road ahead, pointing to a winding dirt track that leads away to the left. It reads:</p>
- <signpost>TO THE CAVERNS OF SONORA</signpost>
+ <signpost>To the Caverns of Sonora</signpost>
<p>You are desperate to avoid the machine-gunning biker and so decide to take the track. At least its winding course will give him less opportunity to riddle the trunk with bullets.</p>

<p>The rotten timbers are easily torn away from the front door and in minutes you have gained access to the building. In the middle of the lobby you discover a stainless steel replica of an oil derrick, standing twelve feet high, on which there is an inscription that reveals the former owners of the block:</p>
- <signpost>THE LONE STAR OIL <ch.ampersand/> GAS COMPANY</signpost>
+ <signpost>The Lone Star Oil <ch.ampersand/> Gas Company</signpost>
<p>In order to emerge somewhere inside the perimeter wall, you must discover an exit on the north side of this building, so you set off immediately in that direction. Beyond the lobby area you can see a row of elevator doors, and two corridors disappearing to the left and right.</p>
