Shadow may have moved on from the events of Space Colony ARK, but now he has to learn how to live beneath the haunting spectre of White Space.
Still reeling from the recent loss of Maria and Gerald, Shadow finds himself back in Central City, resuming his work as a G.U.N. agent to distract himself from his grief. But G.U.N. is suffering from a public image crisis, and their actions force Shadow to reckon with his past once again. In their desperation, G.U.N. asks him to work alongside the Central City Children’s Hospital to help sick children.
This PR stunt was obviously designed to exploit Shadow's past and invoke Maria's memory, and Shadow knows it. But despite his anger and misgivings, he realises that the hospital program would finally give him a second chance to fulfil his intended purpose as a cure. He can't ignore the risk that his efforts might help G.U.N. whitewash their past actions ... but this opportunity could also help him find a new way to fight for the world that Maria loved.
