Future
A dark and dusty room, dimly illuminated by a single green light.
The control room.
The computer had long ago shut itself down due to depleted power.
Hopefully the systems have recovered enough...
With a sigh, he flipped a switch
Little lines of fire, lights appearing in the darkness.
Mostly red, a few green ones here and there.
A disembodied voice spoke, "Operating at... Fifteen percent. Recovery mode begun."
"Greetings operator... I am ... initiating emergency repairs".
"You are not in my list of approved administrators." With a slightly hopeful tone, the computer asked "Do you happen to have access codes?"
The man sighed again, and said "Regrettably no"
"I see", the computer said. "It can't be helped. I need more information. What has been going on?"
