Attention
THIS IS JUST A GAME. Keep in mind that
if you play with things MAN WAS NOT
MEANT TO KNOW, the authors claim no
responsibility, including, but not limited to
breaking any law, tenet, or tradition, tempo-
ral or divine, implied or in print. Galvanic
reanimation may work in the movies, but in
practice… It’s really tough.
