Entry in Lieutenant Boyle's diary, dated November 2, 1984:
"The shaman showed us a second piece today — one he had kept
hidden until now.
Where the first rifle was carved from wood and bone, this one is
worked in silver, its channels filled with amethyst drawn from
the mountain's deepest veins. He called the stone 'frozen night'
and warned us not to look into it for too long.
I confess I did. And I understood the warning.
The craftsmen of the tribe believe silver keeps the spirits
honest, and amethyst keeps the bearer clear-headed. Whether or
not I believe them, I can say this much: the weapon feels
different in the hand. Steadier. As though it were deciding
something on its own."
---
The second weapon from the Machu Picchu series — same forgotten
tribe, same craftsmen, a different material and a different
temperament.
Built for Counter-Strike 2: silver base with amethyst inlay,
authored with the engine's rendering in mind so the stone reads
correctly at every viewing angle and light setup.
