Cassette Skies: Project Aurora

In 1981, neon-buzzing airships slice through cassette-soundtracked skies as the Dread Talon crew plunders corporate zeppelins. When a top-secret Cold War lab activates "Project Aurora"—an experimental ion-synth to steer jetstreams—the test rips a shimmering rift over the Atlantic. Weather turns electronic, compasses melt, and sea-slicked leviathans rise to the clouds. Pirates, rival agents, and a guilt-ridden scientist race to seal the aurora before a city-sized updraft becomes a permanent, floating nightmare.
