Yeah, but he was PKF before he was Ozone.
Some possibilities...
Things either ramped up or down at work.
The federal authorities finally broke up his black market kitten ring. Resale value of said kittens is high as the dainty and dexterous paws
make them prized candidates for cheap labor. Primarily in the production of high power, shoulder mounted pulse laser cannons illegally produced in
the mountains of Latveria (see recent Surfing Dirt post). A cautionary tale of a love of kites leading to a life of crime that eventually ends in
tears. Oh the humanity....
Has fallen prey to the "Here, hold my clipboard." syndrome that often heralds the beginning of a relationship with a femmel. After that,
anything is possible because... "femmels just aren't like the rest of us." :o

Option C: I died.
It's cool though, it wasn't permanent. Apparently just a clerical error :wee: .
