D.C. Families: Chapter One Suspicion, Slowly Built

A clear next step is sometimes all a District of Columbia reader is looking for, and that is what this offers. First, start here if you want the opening mystery before the later chapters widen the map. Next, the series page lists what to read next. Finally, an outpost that went silent years ago now reports flawless numbers, every gauge perfect, and that is exactly why suspicion starts. None of the characters or events are presented as real; the notes around them are the useful part. More context sits on the Home Page whenever District of Columbia readers want it.
