Jack returns to the desk with the terminal. He flips the switch on the
desk lamp. It flickers for a moment and turns off again. He leans over
the terminal and pushes the power switch &ndash; Bonk! At least this
seems to work. While waiting for the tube to warm up, he walks over to
the rack and sits down on the floor in front of it. He inspects the
status lights on the various devices thinking aloud:

He pushes the power button and hears the spindle spinning up. The power
button blinks. There is some intermittent rattling from the drive,
probably a shot bearing. He hears the platters inside accelerate for an
unusually long time. Impatiently sitting there, Jack waits for the drive
to be ready. Clicking from the mechanism unlocking the heads followed by
a ringing scratching noise. <span class="quote speech">Of course.</span>

He gets up and walks over to the phone. Maybe, the lines to
&lt;dome city&gt; still work. Not exactly excited by the prospect of
calling random people, but not seeing another option, he reaches for

to dial. He holds the receiver to his ear - silence.

He walks over to the the teleprinter and opens the lid to find that

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.

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
