Why would it? It’s just another day in paradise. It’s quite the spectacle, but all of this barely registers as you continue on your way. The woman inside leaps out and orders her massive pet crocodile to attack nearby government soldiers, before grabbing a horse and riding off into the sunset while the tractor explodes behind her. As the sun sets on your journey home, a tractor suddenly speeds past you on the road and smashes into the power station.
