4.01: Juno Steel and the Embrace of Ice (Part 1)
On the recently-frozen moon Io, Juno meets an old friend and reflects on the worst mistake of his life. It's just as a member of his family once said: "We may look backward only to ensure we have not walked this path before." Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.
