Give up control.

That's what the thing that looks like Mick says to do. And in a year like the one Juno Steel has had, with the past, present, and city of the future all out to get him... why not? In a world where control can be torn from you so easily, so constantly... why not just give in, let that thing plug you in to its monstrous chip, and give everything you have away to it?

So why not, Juno? Why not give up control to the Theia Soul?

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