Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Some of the things you see while on the job are truly gut wrenching. Some of those things can cause your body to physically revolt, leaving you with the feeling, that you could have done more.

Energy Conservation
3-D Printing on a molecular level
Skunk-Tech has developed a means of installing an atomic deconstructor and reconstructor in any mundane container. Objected stored in this way is rapidly converted into raw energy, which is stored in the top-of-the-line micro-server embedded into the material of the container. Activated by putting a hand into the bad, the installed neuro-detector scans the thoughts of the user, determining what object to rapidly reprint.
As a safety measure, if the object suffers damage, it is designed to use its remaining energy for an emergency export, printing all stored objects onto the ground around the user.
