> Yeah, she's a keeper.

Heh, a keeper.

"Oh fuck, did I kill it?" she says. "Is it dead?"



She was always a keeper.

"I mean, I don't want that thing to get up again," she cries, "but I don't want to kill anything!"

Since the day you met her, actually.

"Nah," you say, "probably not dead, just knocked out. My theory is the computer just brainwashes them. If you're willing to save my life twice today, I could check to see just how knocked out it is."

It's time to get to know your enemy! Poke it a bit to see if you can find any weaknesses, or perhaps a way to reverse the zombification process.

"Still breathing!"

"Oh fuck, thank god. Ugh, I hate killing things. Sat on a spider once, cried for a week. I swear."



You feel around the screen to see if you can find the jaws, or whatever those things are. Nothing. The monitor is clearly off too.

>Attempt to pry computer from its body

> Try and get that monitor off his head.

Yep, grab the dang computer off.

You try and pry the monitor from it's body as well, but it doesn't seem to come off all that easily. You're not sure if you should try pulling the whole damn monitor off yet, you should try poking around a bit more before hand.

"Looks like it's not waking up, come on over."

>Water: Don't be the permanent solution, but slow them down til the water dries.

You both sit on opposite ends of the zombie or whatever it is.

"So," you say, "water isn't a permanent solution. That's both good and bad. Good in that it doesn't kill them, meaning that we can reverse this virus and save lives, bad in that I have no idea if they can wake up."

"It's a virus?"

"Yeah, like a computer virus. Somehow, it manages to turn your monitor into a walking thing that bites heads off. I have no idea how it works even though my BOSS tricked me into coding small parts of it. But given that, I could probably write a reverse code if I can just figure out how it works. Doesn't look like poking around this guy will help though."



"What about the back?"



"...Oh. Didn't think of that."



Screwed shut. What now?
