2.26: Juno Steel and the Long Way Home (Part 1)

Where is everybody?

That's the question that dogs Juno Steel now. He has bigger things to handle, he knows. Loose ends to tie up, old betrayals to pay back, and a mysterious mayor to reckon with. But even while city-sized mysteries weigh him down, the one that concerns him most is much closer to home... and while he tries to solve his disappearing act, all he has to keep him company is the tale of another disappearance, thirty years in the past.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.
