Log 4078: Oh.

Not much to say, but it turns out that the servers weren't even missing in the first place. They were just unplugged and carted into a storage closet by the IT team so that they could make room for newer ones. And the lack of footprints was because they were apparently testing a roomba-powered server cart, and the nacho dust-coated Xbox controller on their desks prove it. (And so does the roomba-powered server cart driving around erratically.)

As far as progress on the portal goes, we haven't been able to do all that much recently due to the "missing" servers, but now that the data's been transferred, we can continue working on it.

Gotta go now.

Author's Note:

Short chapter 'cause I'm still trying out my tablet's keyboard case thingy.

On the topic of space station story arcs, this just amused me no end.
...and then this for this chapter.

Indeed it does sound like a story from tech support tales. So utterly believable and I can see Gadget having to dodge almost getting ran over by that cart for some reason.

Though considering who made it shouldn't it be Mountain Dew and nacho cheese chips powered

8017628 I take a bit of inspiration from the Rinkworks.com "Computer Stupidities" page. Here it is if you'd like to take a look.

they should have just asked Amazon to borrow one of their warehouse drones. Though those have to be calibrated and sequenced properly...
