| “ | If you get up early enough and you catch it in just the right light, Hyperion City can be sort of beautiful. The billboards backlit by the early morning light, the dew-spackled trashcans, the sunrise shadows cast by highscrapers and floating mansions... it’s really something. And every time I see it, I wish I was dead. | ” |
—Juno Steel
Juno Steel and the Stolen City (Part 1) is the eleventh episode of the second season of The Penumbra Podcast. It was released August 29, 2017.
Overview[]
“Look for a woman with one ear outside the First Museum of Colonized History in Hyperion City.”
That’s what the notice said to Yasmin Swift, both culprit and victim of Juno Steel’s last case. And ever since, Juno has been looking for that woman: for a month straight, while the clock ticks down, while the election creeps ever closer. He needs to find her, and quickly, if he hopes to keep Ramses O’Flaherty kicking, if he hopes to give this city a shot at anything better.
Today Juno’s going to find that one-eared gangster, and he’s going to learn something very important about leads along the way: sometimes it’s worth leaving a piranha on the line if it means you might catch a whale.
