The computer ate my Danger Room scenario.

You didn't save it?

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Oh, I saved it. I save scenarios at periodic intervals just in case of mass power failure the next time something goes boom. It doesn't seem to have done any good, though.

I am not surprised. These machines are not trustworthy.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Dude, computers are completely trustworthy. You just have to know how to treat them.

[x-kylun.livejournal.com]

I hope you will forgive my disbelief, but surely Scott's experience here proves otherwise.

This one seems to have taken a definite dislike to me tonight. Damn it. It was a group scenario, too - three hours of work.

[x-kylun.livejournal.com]

Can you reconstruct the ideas, at least? Sometimes the universe simply decides that your patience needs testing.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

The ideas are all still nicely squared away in my head. It's the programming, all the tweaking... I was about five minutes away from being done. Gah.

[x-psylocke.livejournal.com]

Are there no backup files stored somewhere within the system's subdirectories?

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Not that I can find.

This is more than a little irritating.

[x-psylocke.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's there somewhere.

Might I suggest you take a moment, step away from the Sit. Room, get a latte, perhaps even a walk about the grounds. Last time I checked, three hours hunched over tactical scenarios doesn't do much for your lower back. The files are bound to pop up once you return from your brief respite.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

A walk is probably not such a bad idea. I'm still stiff from Wednesday, too, so all of the sitting around is probably not good for me.

I refuse to be optimistic about the files, though. The computer is evil.

[x-psylocke.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can see it now, evil 1's and 0's planning your untimely demise. Now, we're just being paranoid.

Repeat after me: There isn't an evil plot against your personal files. The computer is not out to get me. I'm tired and need a nap.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I'll give you the paranoia. But not the nap.

[x-psylocke.livejournal.com]

Stubborn to the last.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I prefer to think of it as determined.

[x-psylocke.livejournal.com]

Fine. Determindedly stubborn. And here I was trying to be nice and play fair.
