description: They say these are the last days, Momma Gaia's been murdered by her idiot children, reefs all coral corpses, ice still going, waters still arising, biosphere melting away in the super tropic sun like a big jellyfish beached on the Martian shore. For sure we're the grandsons and daughters of less than wise old monkeys, but on the other hand, we're all made of mud, one of the good books says, so considering where we come from, maybe we haven't done too bad. And in my line of work, I've become convinced that even the entities on the Other Side are just playing the cards that someone else dealt as best they cn. I've been told that's a bad attitude, but a lot of the people who say it pay me good money to use it for their own devices. "Cause that's what it takes to deal with what's on the Other Side, whether you think you're dealing with electronic loss, or your dearly departed, or just the expert system ghosts haunting the bits and bytes.
