A TALE OF MYSTERY, INTRIGUE AND INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE
We find ourselves in a world that only diverged from ours in the very recent past. Many things are still the same, gravity still pulls people down. America is not ruled by Viking Warlords or Southern generals. Martian robots haven't enslaved the world. Children go to school, not fly around in space ships shooting tentacle monsters in New Tokyo. It's a very familiar world, and baring the technology industry economic crashes of 1990 and 1992, one might even say identical to ours. But that's all old history now.
So this is pretty much like every other adventure/comic thread that seem to be relatively popular around here. It works the same way as every other thread: I've got an idea of where I want the story to go. You suggest something and if it's not totally loving stupid it might make it in. Each post will include a link to a piece of computer history, typically pulled from wikipedia but not always (example at the bottom of this post). You are under no obligation to read it but you might find it interesting and you'll see a little bit of where I'm getting the inspiration from.
NEW USER ORIENTATION PROGRAM
Have a nice day.
MONDAY 10AM
You are interrupted from your hard work by a mysterious message promising great fortune and adventure.
It's only 10am and you still have a lot to do.
Like file the TPS reports (after you play some more Blockland of course) and figure out who this mystery guy is.
First things first, you should probably head down to IT and get the new OS upgrade to fix your blurry screen.
The text should be a lot sharper.
OH GOD
OH GOD GET THAT OS UPGRADE
