steel and sea .
starter for @dellarosula .
what a situation he's been put in , he thought infiltrating this airship -- taking out a few IPC , grabbing some intel and darting would be a quick and simple task . . . who would've known things could go this bad ?
it was a trap , set just for the gunslinging cowboy cyborg , surrounded by what felt like hundreds of IPC and bigshots , who all looked way too smug about this .
reasonably so -- beaten , battered , exposed inner workings of his mechanical body , scratches and cuts on his face , heavy breaths coming from him , hand still on his gun despite it all .
eyes darted around the room -- every exit was covered , wasn't it ? this situation isn't looking good for him .
even still , he had a smug grin on his face , did they really think he didn't have a way out ? he spun the chamber in his revolver , before firing one at the ceiling , which was paired with a loud explosion .
the wall behind him burst open , of course he had an escape plan ready , he just needed to get to the right spot . . .
" alrighty then -- toodle-oo , forkers ! "
he tipped his hat , as they started opening fire , he fell backwards , diving straight down off the side of the ship , into the body of water below him . . . what's going on ? why was his vision feeling all blurry ?
. . .

on the shores of fontaine , those walking by would see what looked like nothing more then a hunk of metal washed up and left to rust , those who looked closer would see a rather fancy looking hat not too far off . . . those who looked even closer ?
they'd see boothill , partly buried beneath the sand -- they'd see a mix of man and machine , unconscious upon the shores .
