==How It Begins==
You must finish the last term paper (deadline tomorrow!). All the computers in the dorm are in use, so you endured a snowstorm to travel to the institute's computer laboratory. However, the snowstorm turned into a blizzard and you decided to remain in the complex for the night, working on the report. Now you are in the Terminal Room (lonely but for a hacker whom you are familiar with). It goes without saying that you are carrying the aforesaid assignment.
