He knew there were other ghosts to fight: the Privatization Ghoul and the Invisible Hand Wraith were still lurking in the suburbs.

Elias, a young archivist who spent his days cataloging old data in a cramped basement, watched the Specter from his window. He had the scrolls—the evidence. He knew that when the city had invested in its people years ago, the treasury had actually overflowed. But every time he brought the scrolls to the High Council, they pointed to the Specter.
