Tikki knows that a decker could have been of help in this operation, but she 
avoids using them unless absolutely necessary. Deckers rank among the class of 
things she considers to be perverse. Projecting one’s consciousness into the
electronic realm of the global computer net is perverse. Animals have meat 
bodies because they were meant to live in a world of meat bodies. Abandoning 
one’s flesh and blood like a tool no longer needed strikes her as grotesque. She
mistrusts anyone who would do that, all deckers, nearly as much as she mistrusts 
all mages.
