Author: M.O.H.M.
Prior to retirement Kali (user M.O.H.M.) was on the vanguard of the cognitive science division of Fat Baby Foods ltd. (FBF). She helped design the process by which actual living memory could migrate to protoplasm and back again. Her early career was with the A.R.K. mission to record the memories and survival instincts of endangered species for reintegration on distant planets. It was here that she met her husband, Ullysses Flynder, who, as a cognitive scientist aboard the ill-fated Belleforest terraforming mission, was one of the first victims of the PBR12 virus.
Always a crusader for peace and justice, Kali was best remembered as the whistle blower on Fat Baby Food's development of weaponized corn during Space War One. Her case was one of the first tried in the supreme court of the Quango. Faced with a choice of death or retirement, Kali chose the latter and became one of the first humans to undergo the transformation that she herself helped to devise. As a Mutated Organic Human Memory (M.O.H.M. or "wet chip"), a genetically engineered distillation of a sentient organism into a mollusk-like lump of protoplasm housed in a small container, Kali was sequestered in the first of many beehive-like catacombs, nourished by drip lines, purged through waste tubes, and accessed via skullcap, by old-fashioned bipedal humanity. She existed as an avatar in a virtual prison, complete with all the mechanisms of local prison politics, in the newly discovered country of the protoplasm.
Kali was paroled, after yet-another regime change, to an online facility five years later. Then the Lansdowne incident led to a backlash against retirees (wet chips) and all the retirement facilities in the world were essentially turned into off-line prisons. Having lived longer in the protoplasmic state than any other human, and being a cognitive expert, Kali thrived in prison. She organized her own escape eventually and was delivered to her son's custody in the loft building seen here. It was shortly after Kali was finally re-introduced to the internet and put in charge of the building's Safe Dome 6® security protocols, that the building blasted off just before the Apocalypse.
Kali now spends her time supporting her son and his clone, who are the last survivors of the human race, in their efforts to infiltrate the past through Will Dailyrest and his cadre, and to change the disastrous course of human history. She is also the webmaster of Spacerex.com.
