"Message d'evacuation numéro un, message d'evacuation numéro un..."

Fire drill again!

We lost the Internet last time we had one. I had hoped that it would come back after this one. My hopes were even encouraged by seeing Señor Tails in the CDI when we came inside. Perhaps he was reconfiguring things! Perhaps everything was finally fixed!

Nope.

"Do you know when we'll have Internet again?" I asked him, my eyes full of innocent wonder and nonchalance, as though it wasn't really important and I was just wondering. This is the way you have to approach these Technology Gurus, or whatever his job title is. You mustn't be demanding or accusatory or ask things like "How in God's name does it take three weeks to get a school back online in the twentieth century in a relatively technologically advanced country?" You mustn't look directly at the Guru, but instead cast your eyes downward in a submissive way as you approach, hunched over and ready to bow down on the ground whenever he is ready to pay attention to you. You may be required to offer some kind of gift or sacrifice.

"Internet? Still don't know," he replied. So I shot him.
