Claire Sinclair sat at her computer, unsure of what to do. Teacher Hartwell hadn't given her a new assignment, so she picked up a magazine and started to read.
Suddenly, a surprised cry came from behind her. "Ah, my computer screen went black!"
"Mine too! Did the power go out?"
"The power's not out. The lights are still on, it's just the computer screens that went black."
At almost the exact same moment, every computer connected to the network went black, including the one in front of Claire Sinclair.
Claire Sinclair frowned. 'So they've finally made their move.'
Just as her mind was wandering, another colleague exclaimed, "Holy crap, it's not just our office computers! My friend just messaged me that the computers at their company are down too!"
"Same with my friend! She's a teacher at a university, and all the computers in her office went black!"
"Is it a network issue? Why would computers in so many different places suddenly go black?"
"Could this be a hacker attack?"
