The genderbot still thinks Kit Marlowe was a girl. I reentered everything.

Faster Gun

A group of city women hire deputy Doctor Holliday to guide them to a crashed spaceship in 1881, but they soon realize they arenʼt the only ones inside the wreck. —L. Percival
The hulk that loomed over, curving gently outward to a stalklike prow, could have been the rust-laceworked, rust-orange hulk of any derelict ironclad. Except it was a thousand miles from the nearest ocean, and a hundred times too big to be a ship.
Four people on horseback in a prairie with an indistinct, ghostly background.
