George Will's Undying Electronic Presence raised his voice to a library shout, incensed as he was about his inability to pick up baseball transmissions--and then he himself went dead. Boehnerbot 2087^2 had just finished demonstrating, on the House floor, how big some bill was, when his eyes turned into tiny white dots in the center of darkness, like an old TV tube. Newt was riding the Peoplemover, wiping away tears, when the Peoplemover stopped. Snow fell on CrusDC, and the grating system didn't grate or heat--so CrusDC got an accumulation of snow, which was the cause of much laughter in UnderDC. The mules that pulled the one Red Line WMATA train kept pulling that train, though, unaffected as they were by the general US-wide computer shutdown.
After an hour, things started working again. But Newt cried for want of a solution to a problem he didn't understand.
