    The truth is out there, and now it's organized. Logic is a fickle thing, especially when everyone seems to have their own version of it.

Just feed in the problem and it turns a mountain of clashing theories into one smooth, dramatic narrative. But can it handle the problems Jess's callers give it? "The Arcana Unity" is waiting for those brave enough to stop asking "why" and start asking "how does this all fit together?" The phone lines are open and the truth is waiting.
