The Phoenix Pham find themselves in a clean and powered city devoid of any life...unless you count nanites or the husks they parade around as people. With a beacon in tow to hold back the nanite fog that shrouds the city, our heroes venture into the deserted metropolis. What haunted mockery of life has the god planned this time? Will they find the knowledge that they are after in the Lab and Library? And will they get there before the beacon runs out of juice?
