Attack of the Zombies
are
under attack by mobs that do not see emotion, do not feel pain and
will stop at nothing until we are destroyed.
    Colonel: Yes Sir, but they are
brainless mobs. With our advanced strategies we can ...."
    Headmaster: Corporal Henckman, please
explain to the Colonel what you observed at the Portal.
    Corporal Henckman: Yes Sir, Steve, uh,
Headmaster sir. I observed hundreds of Zombies working in tightly
controlled units with Skeletons and Creepers to form an attack
force that will overwhelm our defenses within the next hour.
    Colonel: Impossible! Mobs do not work
together.
    Corporal Henckman: That may have been
the case in the past Sir, but what I observed was a well defined
and executed attack. They may be brainless mobs but they are
working together with devastating results.
    Headmaster: Thank you Corporal. So
Colonel Mayer, you still think we have the luxury of time?
    Colonel: No Steve, if the mobs are
organized then it appears that the time has come, but the troops
will not arrive for days. What do you suggest?
    Headmaster: Why Colonel, you should
know the answer to that, just like last time, in the Zombie wars,
we make a glorious last stand and hope that reinforcements arrive
in time.
    Jeb: Why don't you just reset the
system?
    Corporal Henckman : Be quiet soldier.
You do not talk to the commander unless he first address's you.
    Headmaster: Thank you Corporal, but
let the lad speak. Jeb is it?
    Jeb: Yes Sir, Steve sir.
    Headmaster: So Jeb, what do you mean,
and call me Steve.
    Jeb: Well Steve, as far as I can
gather the Survival Room is linked to the Overworld by the locked
open portal. That creates the gravity that allows us to do amazing
things.
    Headmaster: Correct Jeb.
    Jeb: BUT, the cheat codes that you use
to control the Survival Room are controlled by a mainframe computer
in the School.
    Headmaster: Correct again Jeb, but the
control centre has been destroyed so how does that help us.
    Jeb: You have another control centre
in the school, why not just use that one?
    Headmaster: Because the Captain was
the logged user and only he can issue commands and alas he is
dead.
    Jeb: So reboot it
    Headmaster: Sorry?
    Jeb: Reboot the computer. When it
recognizes that the Captain is dead it will initiate its log
program. Who is logged to give commands in the original
program?
    Headmaster: I was.
    Jeb: There you go then. Reboot the
computer and you will once again be in charge of the Survival
Room.
    Headmaster: Genius. Colonel Mayer, why
did you not think of this idea?
    Colonel: Uh, I don't even know what
he's talking about sir. Sorry.
    Headmaster: Corporal, do you
understand how to reboot a computer.
    Corporal Henckman: Sorry sir, no
idea.
    Headmaster: Well I guess I will have
to do it myself.
    Colonel: Steve, you can't leave now.
The only chance we have of holding out until the troops arrive is
with you by our sides.
    Headmaster: But we have no choice
Colonel, if I stay we are more than likely doomed, if I leave and
regain control of the Survival Room it may be all too late.
    Jeb: I could do it for you.
    Headmaster: You Jeb. You know how to
reboot a computer?
    Jeb: Uh yeah, every eleven year old
knows how to do that!
    Headmaster: Eleven! What the heck are
you even doing here?
    Jeb: You see I won the choosing
ceremony and ..
    Colonel: Steve, we don't have time for
this now. Jeb, can you really do this?
    Jeb: Sure, no problem.
    Colonel: Steve, I suggest Corporal
Henckman takes a platoon of soldiers and escorts Jeb back to the
school where he can reboot the computer and give us back control of
the Survival Room.
    Headmaster: Yes Colonel, but we can't
spare a platoon. Corporal Henckman, take a cavalry squad and escort
Corporal Jeb back to the computer room in the school.
    Corporal Henckman: Uh, yes Steve, but
that's Private Jeb sir, and he is just a noob.
    Headmaster: Not anymore Corporal. No
one below Corporal can gain access to the computer room. Corporal
Henckman, you are hereby promoted to Sergeant and Jeb is promoted
to your
