Another night, another unsolved case.

Miss Sarah Anne, only 24 when she was last seen, has been missing for 12 years now. She was last seen around a popular theater, The Illusion Amphitheater. Due to its popularity, and possibly local callousness, searches around the area have been difficult and fruitless.

The city of Grimehelm is a busy and sprawling one, a city full of life. It's well known for its technological advancements and successful businesses.

But it's also a city with secrets. There's a shady underbelly of this city, one with crime rings, mobs, shadow organizations, the sorts. As many lives have been ruined here as lives enriched.

You can tell who lives here and who is a visitor on how they handle the horrors of this misshapen metal hub. It's a hell we're trapped in, a steel prison of our own design.

The ones that use this to their advantage are the most dangerous. They are master manipulators, using their wits and profits to control their competition. Even the police are under their bankroll.

Sin and corruption fill the streets, the homes, and the hearts. It's been this way long before I was born. With the liars, the broken, the thieves, and the greedy, what does that leave?

That leaves me. My name is Rowena Iscariot Ministry, Private Investigator. This is my story.

The skyway is the most optimal way of traveling, especially when you're trying to be conspicuous and your car's in the shop. You can see everything below you with the glass floor, but they'll see you as well. It moves rather fast, at least. We'll be at the theater in about 10 minutes.

Monte: "Wow!"

Rowena: "What, you never been in something like this before?"

Monte: "Not too much, I mostly stick with streetcars... well, until they removed them from town. You can still kinda see the tracks."

Rowena: "Interesting."

???: "'Scuse me!"

Monte: "Oh, sorry!"

???: "'Ts fine. Just passin' through."

Rowena: "What's on your hands?"

???: "Oil. 'M a mechanic o' sorts."

Rowena: "What sort?"

???: "Cars, land vehicles, those sort. You some sorta detective?"

Rowena: "Yes, actually."

???: "Oh. Name's Algernon Steel."

Rowena: "You heading anywhere?"

Algernon: "Actually, here's my stop." He walks right out of the skyway, the door closing behind him.

Rowena: "Dammit!" I bang the glass while the skyway continues forward. At least we're almost at the place.

Monte: "Do you know him, by any chance?"

Rowena: "No, but who the hell just walls around covered with oil?"

Monte: "I seen a lot of people covered in oil. Maybe they just don't appear around you."

Rowena: "What sort of place do you live where there's just a bunch of oil covered people?"

Monte: "The slums."

Rowena: "Apparently a deep part, since I never seen someone like that."

Monte: "Well, maybe this might help you see a bit more of it."

Rowena: "Maybe..." The door opens out to the stop outside the theater. We get out and make our way.

APRIL 6TH, 1922

Another day in the office, another day of menial tasks and terrible people. Most days are like this. You ever want something awful tø happen, just to do something? That's how I'm starting to feel. I sit back in my chair, smoking another cigarette. Menial tasks can take a toll on your mental health, but at least it pays well. The door squeaks open, a man in about his 40s or so wandering in. His large coat sags around his stick thin body as he stumbles around the room to my desk.

???: "You're Rowena, right?"

Rowena: "Right on the front sign."

???: "Good. Name's Monte. Saw a poster about Sarah Anne, and maybe you know at least something about that?"

Rowena: "Aren't you a little old to look for someone in their mid-20s?"

Monte: "You're never too old to be a good father, I believe."

Rowena: "Guess so. Though, most give info to me, not the other way around. So, if you don't have anything-"

Monte: "Wait! I thought if you'd know anything, it could help me find her."

Rowena: "I wouldn't trust you to find your keys, let alone your daughter."

Monte: "But can you?"

Rowena: "I try when I'm not stuck with immediate work."

Monte: "Good! Don't worry, I'll pay you. I just wish to see her again, you know?"

Rowena: "Yeah, I understand. I'll do it."

Monte: "How much?"

Rowena: "Don't worry about that until we find her, alright?"

Monte: "Oh, thank you! So, where should we start first?"

Rowena: "Best to start at the scene of the crime."

We quickly head outside, catching the first skyway at the station and head down to the theater.
