Foxglove: Did you seriously just push me in?
Altair: Don’t be a baby! Live a little. Haven’t you ever played in a fountain?
Foxglove: Not exactly.
Altair: Just splash a little, trust me it will be fun.
Foxglove: Did you seriously just push me in?
Altair: Don’t be a baby! Live a little. Haven’t you ever played in a fountain?
Foxglove: Not exactly.
Altair: Just splash a little, trust me it will be fun.
Altair: Since you’re here, let’s do something fun.
Foxglove: You know I’m on the clock, right?
Altair: Just say it took longer than you thought it would to fix. I mean, I’m your witness so it’s not like anyone will ever find out about it.
Foxglove: I guess I could stay for a little while.
Altair: Come on, climb up here with me.
Foxglove: What are you going to—whoa!
Foxglove: Altair, what I’m trying to say is there’s no way that would randomly happen. Someone would have to have done it to the computer.
Altair: Would you believe me if I said I did it on accident?
Foxglove: Not for a second. Look, it doesn’t matter if you did it or not. I’m just not sure why you would do it.
Altair: Maybe…I, kind of, wanted… to see you again?
Foxglove: Wait? What?
Altair: It’s just so boring around here and I had a lot of fun the last time you were here.
Foxglove: You could have just asked me.
Altair: It’s not that simple.
Altair: Sure, Fox, what’s up?
Foxglove: Did you…sabotage the computer?
Altair: Why on earth would you think that?
Foxglove: Normally if you have some kind of a virus that starts deleting files it will do it pretty systematically. There were files missing but they were…random. It’s like someone went in there and just started deleting things.
Altair: That does sound strange.
Foxglove: So Altair, I was able to get your computer up and running again, but there’s something I wanted to ask you.
Foxglove: …what on earth? I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s like someone was in there just randomly deleting system files.
Altair: You’re a lifesaver. Do you think you can fix it?
Foxglove: I’m sure I can, just give me a little time.
Altair: I’ll leave you to it then. If you need me, I’m going to just be out front by the fountain. Come by when you’re done.
Altair: Thank you for coming on such short notice. Promise, I won’t make it a habit.
Foxglove: Really, it’s no problem at all.
Altair: I really don’t know what happened. I was just working on the report and it just crashed on me all of the sudden.
Foxglove: I’ll take a look. I’m sure I’ll get it up and running for you in no time.
Altair: Hi dad, so I was working on that research report on Simstagram impact public opinion of business and the computer complete freaked out.
Altair: …
Altair: I already tried rebooting it… that too. None of the usual workarounds are working. The screen is blue and it keeps making this high pitched squeal.
Altair: …
Altair: What about the guy you had come over last time?
Altair: Yes, that one.
Altair: Why not?
Altair: Dad, it’s not like you’re sending a mafia hitman over to the house. Besides, I’m a grown woman. I’m pretty sure I can handle one tech guy.
Altair: Are you listening to yourself? You’re being paranoid. I mean, I guess I could just walk all the way down to the public library to finish this assignment for you.
Altair: … Okay, thanks. What’s his number? I’ll go ahead and give him call.
Altair: Love you, daddy, bye.
Altair: All right… so, the website said you can open up the registry from here.
Altair: There! Hmm… this looks important. We’ll just delete that. This one too… and this one… and this.
