OS01: at the roadside
Patagonia, Chile, March 2222: in three months the March of the Worldbridger will begin, as it's customary since at least 22 years, therefore the young adults which will start their journey all the way north to the Atacama desert (where the Portal is rumored to have been last spotted) need all the support possible to arrive there safely.
This means, first and foremost, that the road must be at least de iure safe and paid for, if necessary. To this aim, they called for adventurers to come forth and be enlisted for the job: you are the chosen (or the only) ones.
The first objective is simple enough: make your way through the Andes passes and ensure that no raider group or ENEIA contractor thinks about assaulting the caravan. In particular the caudilla Letfekele, once a ulmen from Patagonia, now controls the main roads on the cordillera with her raiders group. Sure, previous Worldbridger caravans managed to pass through, but the deals change every year, and now it's time to renew it.
After that, the adventurers will have to pass the mountains and go through Araucanìa to the Frente de Arauco, where the main toquis maintain with the guerrilla the ENEIA contractors and sometimes even the Tropa Federal outside of the region. There, they'll arrange for a guide to escort the Worldbridger youngsters through the Frente to the territory of the Congregación Transumana del Sur (CTS), the last step before the Worldbridger are allowed in the Atacama Desert, where corporations HQ can be found, but is strangely peaceful enough to go there without pre-established escorts. The Portal is of interest to the ENEIA, and they don't want the territory of the Confederacion Andina to be stained by the murder of pilgrims, whatever their belief.
In sum:
- March to the cordillera, find the caudilla Letfekele and strike a deal with her to safely pass the mountains to Araucanìa.
- Continue to the Frente de Arauco, where they'll make a deal with the toquis of the Frente to guide the Worldbringers to the Congrecaciòn in the central region, avoiding ENEIA contractors.
- Make contact with the CTS to cooperate on the Worldbringers' march and the 24-30th November Riots, to cover with them the pilgrims' journey.
- Return home I guess?

Themes
The environment is often lonely and conditions are harsh, so their journey takes an epic turn.
When they enter a place, the piano player always stops playing. They're kinda feared in civilians' places.
Since they're gunslingers, mercenaries and often lonely wolves, clearly there's some man who tries clumsily to attract them, but either their show goes badly by itself, or the characters and allies resolve the situation in embarrassment for men.
