[1360] Mostly Dead Ch 1

This is a rewritten chapter 1 of this novel. The novel is finished at 78k. I've been at this first chapter for a minute, trying to make it interesting while providing you enough information to not be lost.

So basically, does it do its job as a chapter 1? Does the motivation click? Any clarity issues?
