Synopsis
A nation governed by those who want nothing new. Drake and Yukiko have made the journey to the capital of the Jontihem Nation to defend their actions and find ways to secure their rights, but the government is filled with inertia and paper pushers that look down on new things and seek to make complications vanish into an endless pile of papers that no one will ever read. A cabal pulling the strings from behind the curtains. With the aid of new friends, they must forge ahead, only there is more here than meets the eye. Under the surface of an indifferent government, a shadowy group is manipulating things to control a nation. At their head sits a dark regent who would be king. Drake and Yukiko must stop them or humanity will find itself no more than a pawn in a greater game. A dark leader with sinister plans but no title.
