What does offering commissions (which may or may not have sex) have to do with PWP in the story (which is nowhere near as prevalent as suggested, BTW)?

* DaysOfFuturePast: Apparently, when furrykind annihilated the human race (their creators), they ended up being knocked back into medieval society, working their way back up to what we would call the present day and beyond. An obvious piece of evidence for this is the first official playing card deck, which shows that when Farrago was alive, she was a medieval-style knight or warrior.

* GovernmentConspiracy: The American government knows that furrykind was created in a laboratory by humans, who used to be the only sentient species on Earth. They currently have archaeologists doing research in the ruins of that lab, which is also heavily guarded. Anyone who blabs about furrykind's secret origins would likely be secretly killed, but given the widespread panic and existential angst such blabbing would cause (i.e. 'We're all descendants of lab-grown creatures, therefore WE HAVE NO SOULS!'), this is a wise policy.
** [[OurSoulsAreDifferent Since they most defiantly do HAVE souls]] and the government knows it because of Kane's resurrection machine, the government essentially knows that there IS an afterlife, and is keeping that under wraps. Not so much 'We're all descendants of lab-grown creatures, therefore WE HAVE NO SOULS!' but more sort of 'We're all descendants of lab-grown creatures, AND WE CAN STILL END UP IN HELL!' Unless of course the Government thinks that being brought back to life sent that poor woman crazy and she hallucinated the whole thing.
*** So, if they didn't believe her, they're hiding perceived disproff of the afterlife. If they ''did'', they're hiding perceived ''proof'' of ''religion''. One wonders which would be mroe dangerous.
