In the bustling underground headquarters of ASTROCOHORS CLUB an ominous situation was unfolding. The server room, rented from a large corporation, was on the brink of collapse. To add to the chaos, Twitter, one of the primary social media platforms used by the organization, was crumbling due to a failure caused by Elon Musk’s latest misadventure. It was only a matter of time before one of the essential channels connecting people would be disconnected.

In the heart of the crisis, a team of skilled officers battled against the ticking clock. Among them were Commander Sarah Thompson, a resourceful and quick-thinking woman with a talent for troubleshooting, and Lieutenant Mark Collins, a tech whiz with an uncanny ability to think on his feet. They stood shoulder to shoulder, determined to salvage the situation and prevent a catastrophic breakdown in communication.

Alarms blared as the server room became enveloped in an eerie red glow. The air was thick with tension and a sense of urgency. Sarah and Mark darted around the room, their fingers dancing across the keyboards as they desperately tried to stabilize the servers and reconnect to Twitter. But no matter what they did, nothing seemed to work. The systems continued to falter, threatening to plunge ASTROCOHORS CLUB into a state of isolation.

“I can’t believe this is happening,” Sarah exclaimed, frustration etched on her face. “We’ve never faced a crisis like this before.”

Mark’s brow furrowed as he racked his brain for a solution. “We need to think outside the box. If our current methods aren’t working, we have to try something new.”

Suddenly, an idea sparked in Sarah’s mind. “The server room has a redundant power supply, right? Maybe the problem lies with our connection to the main grid. If we can bypass it and use the backup, we might regain stability.”

Without wasting a moment, the duo sprinted to the massive power switch located in a corner of the room. With synchronized precision, they flipped the switch, transferring the server’s power source to the backup system. The room trembled as the servers momentarily shut down and then roared back to life.

As the systems rebooted, Sarah and Mark held their breath, their eyes fixed on the flickering screens. They waited for the signal that would break the tension. A lettering on one of the screens that would mean something like “connection stable again”.
They waited.

But the good news never came. The alarm stayed on. The servers remained unstable and only forwarded incomplete messages. And the connection to Twitter was mostly broken. It stuck.
“The problem is on the other side!” said Mark. “It’s not a problem we caused. The corporations! Cuýel is restricting our servers and Musk… the vulture knows what he’s thinking!”
“He doesn’t think anything, that’s the problem!” Sarah replied. “We have to switch to the other channels. Then we’ll just use Mastodon for communication.”
“But we need a solution for the servers! It can’t go on like this! The data stored there is mostly useless! Important information is lost!”
“That’s what happens when you put yourself in the hands of corporations,” Sarah sighed.
“Now isn’t the time to call out class war slogans!” Mark said indignantly.
“Oh no? And when would be the right moment? If it doesn’t bother you, or what? Something has to be done now, that’s clear! It doesn’t matter whether you can handle it or not!”
Mark bowed his head and shrugged. “You’re right,” he said resignedly.

Red Alert!…
