Previously, cases have taken them from the very bottom to the topechelons of Fuse society, and everywhere in between. But now it'sPerihelion - the day when the Earth, and therefore the Fuse, is closest tothe Sun. And on this `Day of Chaos', the population of Midway Cityseems to go a little bit crazy! All leave is cancelled, all hands on deck... andfor the MCPD, all hell is about to break loose!
