I would be really happy if I could get my hands on some books on agriculture. A book about hunting, or cooking. Something practical, nothing as distant as the operation of a bottle filling machine. [Why are we sitting in the dark, Drop?] Adam [This is quite simple: because the power plants that supply this building are not operating.] Drop Database [And why aren't we using the solar collectors on the roof?] Adam [If we had any, wouldn't the lights be on?] Drop Database [Not necessarily. A fuse may be blowed or they could be damaged.] Adam [What makes you so sure we have any?] Drop Database [I saw it in the financial statements. May 3, 2033 Repair of solar panels.] Adam This facility has solar and I didn't even noticed? Now is the time to put his knowledge to the test. Although I didn't get him a proper book on electrical engineering. But I'm sure he'd figure something out. [Then I assign you to restore the power.] Drop Database The boy ran upstairs to start his investigation, which gave me time to think. 2033! What? That means I travelled 15 years into the future. How long has the apocalypse already lasted? When did it start? I thought nothing could ever knock me down. But the loss of time, and thus loss of knowledge shattered me. I do not know which countries exist nor which wars have been fought. I do not know what technology exists and what enemies I can expect. It's ironic that I thought this was a state-of-the-art factory.

In this moment of desperation, Eve approached me. She placed her hand on my shoulder [Is everything all right, DB?] Eve [Yeah, yeah everything's great, I just sort of lost the track of time.] Drop Database [It is the year 2041. The apocalypse started five years ago. I know you're confused, but there isn't anything we couldn't accomplish together.] Eve [You always talk about us, but I don't even know you.] Drop Database [Look, I call myself Eve because I'm the second Adam is the first.] Eve [That doesn't make any sense! Adam is clearly younger.] Drop Database [Yes, but only in his physical body.] Eve [Tell me who you are! What is this whole upload-download thing about!] Drop Database [I don't think you're ready. I'd be happy to tell you. But I don't want to hurt you. I just want what's best for you.] Eve Now she just sounds like a mother. Maybe I'm really not ready. Maybe I should calm down.
