Secluded Desert- Wrattleham

The people working on the engines and actually doing the work that moves the traction-town can't see what's outside, until they're ordered to stop the scavenger-suburb. Then, they can go see what the fuss is about.

After they do, their foreman, the Gutmaster snaps out first. He's able to rouse a few of the others- not many, not enough, really, for what he's going to do. They don't even have a skeleton crew of non-staring engineers right now, to put the city in reverse and start moving away without damaging the complex steering system. Wrattleham has never reversed before, and whilst the engine and wheel are theoretically capable of it, it's never been tested in the scrap-built town.

They start to move slowly backwards, putting strain on the rear wheels and steering assembly, and as they start to go back other engineers snap out and join in, though... The thirty-five people on Wrattleham's sole tier have been looking at Zee for several minutes, and the Lord Mayor and his steering committee have seen her for over ten minutes.
