Max is loaded into a makeshift elevator along with The Collector and Ironbar and soon finds himself ascending high above the streets of Bartertown. Below, wastelanders gather, trade, and socialize enjoying a semblance of the world that once was. Finally arriving at their destination, Max is led off of the elevator and allowed entrance to Aunty’s penthouse, a quiet refuge from the bustle below where the only sound is the saxophone playing off-screen.
