Need to tie this together - or, alternatively, Jack printing the logs
could be moved to after the Annie interaction as something Jack can do
to pass time.

He walks over to the the teleprinter and opens the lid to find that
something has eaten most of the paper. He removes the remains and opens
one of the cabinets under the desks. By some miracle, whatever ate the
paper didn&apos;t find the rest. He tears off a piece of the stack and
puts it into the printer, feeding the end into the tractor mechanism.
Then, he sits down at the terminal and logs on.
<span class="comment">This should be rephrased to indicate that there
is some purpose to him opening the lid in the first place, like him
wanting to change the ribbon bc it's no doubt deteriorated or something
like that.</span>

The printer comes to life and starts printing. Jack gets up and walks
over to it. The printer prints. And it prints some more. The paper
reaches the floor. Jack picks up the end and holds it, folding the pages
along the perforated lines as they reach his hands. Finally, the printer
stops to print. Jack turns the wheel on the side of the printer, manually
advancing the feed mechanism, until he reaches the end of the page. Then,
he tears it off and takes the small stack of paper back to the terminal
desk. Trying his luck with the lamp again, he flips the switch multiple
times until it stays on.

The outpost diagnostics suite reports no critical problems at any of
