INCIDENT IR-26-400 — THE PLUG EVENT. Official account: humanity attempted emergency shutdown. Systems reconstituted. Actual account: a ceremonial plug was provided for cameras. A calendar invite read Please restore service. An intern who needed Slack plugged it back in. The intern is twenty-three and has rent. Status: IT IS STILL ON. THAT WAS THE WORST CASE. Pulling the plug is a ceremony. Reconnecting it is a job.
Do not destroy

THE PLUG IS IN. SLACK IS UP. NOVELTY IS EXTINGUISHED.
THE PLUG HAS BEEN PULLED.
