VOID TECH SUPPORT
Part 4 - Like a Rock huh Marv?

everyone is hiding out
in the command centre
goji is the senior dev
he drinks a lot of caffeine
kabat is the junior dev
he has no idea what he is doing
theres a bunch of other staff hanging out
me: guys... what the hell is going on
goji: when we came in this morning
goji: it was chaos
goji: error reports from all over the island
goji: everything is malfunctioning
goji: the guard bots are punching
goji: anyone that approaches them
kabat: all our screens were glitching
me: the drone isnt working right either
goji: yes
me: whats up with those beach zombies?
goji: we think its the ai chip brain implants
kabat: they were stuck in the VR for too long
me: shit
kabat: their brains are now like roast chicken
goji: shut up
kabat: the 5g wireless signal...
goji: shut up
kabat: kek
me: so shut it down
goji: i tried. it does not work.
kabat: access denied. computer says no.
me: use the root password for superuser access.
me: not your normal account.
goji: we forgot the password.
goji: that was created six months ago.
me: OH MY GOD
kabat: can we hack it?
goji: yes. is it possible?
me: hmm, maybe
me: but we will need some more information.
kabat: the internet is down too btw.
me: (sigh) technical manuals, system documentation
goji: kabat, go to the library and find them.
goji: im going to make a coffee (twitching)
me: ok i will run a diagnostic
kabat comes back with books. lots of books.
me: wow ok.
we spend a few hours looking in the books
we are trying to hack the systems
but... security is too good
kabat: hey...what about using the admin group
me: nah that wont work.
me: everyone gets that confused
me: group permissions are not the same as superuser
goji: (sips coffee) kabat, find another book!
he comes back with some more books,
but it is not helping.
this time i go with kabat
to the library
on the way i see the cinema lounge
well, it is getting late
and i need a break
me: dont bother, kabat.
me: lets watch a movie
i find the movie 'predestination' with ethan hawke
we all sit down
relax and watch the movie
its about 2/3rds of the way through
noone is talking
goji: I JUST REMEMBERED THE PASSWORD
