Bleak Generation

So now we have our three planewalkers. How do they know each other? Ragados had been a Harmonium officer to many years prior to leaving Arcadia. When he did leave, he ended up between the two gate towns of Arcadia and Mechanus. The Modrons started their march early, this is known, and 12-Bar (former name unknown) had been one of the first to fall in that great expedition. Unlike the other Modrons though, his body had not immediately fallen to dust. So Ragados cracked open the hood to see what was inside.
