In this chapter, Gordon travels along a county road near Buena Vista after being warned that the Interstate is unsafe, only to find local farmers disputing that claim. He examines a detailed map from Cyclops, suspecting that the route is deliberately inefficient, possibly designed to delay him. Haunted by unsettling memories and doubts about Cyclops' intentions, Gordon resolves to verify his suspicions by heading toward Sciotown without delay.
