Trouble on Sun-side

Jansen steps off his ship into Mercury’s harsh twilight zone, where a swollen sun hangs low and the heat forces everyone into skin‑tight insulsuits. He’s been sent to track down one man, but his own luggage has already been searched, signaling that he’s also a target. The dome‑capped streets of Sun‑Side City teem with strangers whose identical garb masks hidden motives.

A towering figure follows him, and Jansen ducks into an alley where a brief clash ends as the sun suddenly wobbles out of view, plunging the city into darkness. In the chaos a blow to his head leaves him disoriented and his wallet gone, and he collapses on the cold pavement. He awakens in a modest home, tended by a striking young woman in the same cowl‑clad uniform, her concern raising more questions than answers.

Now stranded in a world where daylight can vanish in an instant, Jansen must decide whether to continue his hunt or confront the new dangers that stalk him in the shadows. The blend of relentless sun, secretive society, and his own uncertain past promises a tense, journey.
