Alma/Introduction

Hardin's First Law of Human Ecology: "We can never do merely one thing. Any intrusion into nature has numerous effects, many of which are unpredictable."

"I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose." J. B. S. Haldane

Alma Cazador is a behavioral ecologist working with the Detroit Zoological Society and the departments of Biological Science and College of Engineering at Wayne State University. She is a relatively new mage.

You can often see her around the city peeking through binoculars or scribbling in a notepad. If she didn't wear her hair in a ponytail it would get caught in the zipper of her vest of many pockets or fly in her face. "ptwww fppt plah", she says, as it gets in her mouth.

Her niece looks so somber.
