A National Tragedy! [OTA]
Pepper Potts was in the library, hard at work, coordinating the schedules of an old-world sea captain and an older, off-world, self-proclaimed Doctor. Not the smoothest of tasks, but Pepper was nothing if not gifted with time management. She'd been about color-code the spreadsheet (in yellows and blues, because studies showed that they had a calming effect), when her laptop began making a strange noise.
"Huh. That's--"
The computer's strange noise was immediately followed by the screen itself freezing.
"Stop that!"
Which was then followed by the ever-dreaded BSOD (blue screen of death).
"No!" Pepper yelled, completely unmindful of the "Silence, Please" sign posted on the wall behind her. Normally, she had nothing but respect for library protocols. But this was her computer. More beloved than even her Blackberry. She tried to turn the laptop on again, but it was to no avail.
Her computer was dead. Left with no other resources, Pepper slumped down in her seat and started banging her head lightly on the table top. Maybe it would help her think of something?
