Chapter 8 - Keeper of knowledge system-the beginning of the end

Ok. So I heard how Cedar explained the broadcast. So I'll skip over it. Let's start simple. My name is Janet. And I'm the knowledge keeper. My job in this demented place is to preserve humanity's knowledge. And to my kids. If you inherit my system. I'm sorry I didn't make it back. Let's begin 

I woke up on the couch after the broadcast. My head honestly felt like it'd been hit with a mallet. As I came to my kids were sitting at the table furiously typing away at their laptops "seriously. Homework while the world is ending?" I say laughing as I stand up. My daughter Abigail jumps out of her chair tackling me in a hug "Are you ok mom?" She says her face buried in my chest

"Yes dear. I'm fine" I say stroking her hair. "And how about you. No concerns for your mother?" I ask with a slight sarcastic tone to my son still typing away on his laptop. He always had a weird way of shutting emotions down in high stress situations 

"I knew you'd be fine. I'm typing up a guide on the systems as well as tips I believe would be helpful. We're have 36 hours before the titans arrive." He says still typing away without looking 

I pull away from my daughter "You have a system?" I grab him by the shoulders making him face me "answer me" I say my mind racing with worry. "No mom. I don't have one. Uncle Cedar woke up before you. When they unlocked everything on them we were able to see them if the users want to show them. I had him go through it since only their users can interact with them" he explains my worries subsiding. "You have multiple new features that I think will be very useful. I'm typing a guide up on most of them to help you and uncle cedar" he says turning back to his laptop as he edits a few more things. "And print" he says under his breath as the printer in the dining room turns on and starts printing the guide my son had typed up.
