imagine in style of manga in the distant future a grizzled human explorer is riding his alien steed to a nearby settlement that has gone radio silent in recent weeks. He is wearing a cowboy hat, has a beard, has a plasma rifle slung over his back, is wearing a worn out military plate carrier, and has advanced AR goggles. He is travelling the countryside, near what used to be a city which now lies mostly in ruins and covered in vegetation. The ruins can be seen in the far distance.
