Society is scared of them. Scared of us. And for a good reason, too. We can make people go mad, walk through walls, and level cities if we really try. Although, not all Variants are bad.

I didn't truly know what it was like until I was in the Underground.

Most Variants live in hiding, away from the crumbling society all around us. Those who do not hide either run or are taken. There is no in-between.

But we're not what they think. Well, most of us anyway.

Carthage was one of the first to fight back, but not against society. Against his own.

He's the reason we have to hide; the reason we are taken.

He's the reason that we have to go to war.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
