A woman stared at a computer screen, glass of apple juice to her mouth as he looked over numbers and patterns pass by. She sat at a table with like minded individuals, lights dimmed so nobody could make out who sat with them. A lot has been changing in the city as of late. The defeat and subsequent destruction of the Dearest Family opened a massive vacuum in the underworld.

It feels like we're in an interbellum. While there are conflicts all across the city it's still noticably calmer than what used to rule.

The cover for one of my next novels. It's a sort of continuation of Turnabout Teardown though really just a collection of various short stories relating to any 3D models I've made. Feathers McGraw will be getting one for example. One of the short stories will also cover the destruction of Mobius. No set release date because I've only been writing this on special occasions.

I modeled everything in the image.
