Which student council sent the email.

Which student council sent the email. It's already been established that crusher will stoop to illegal dealings, if blackmail, why not cyberattacks.

Also, a devious plan is hatching... you have access to his finances, with a little finagling, you could sabotage his plans quite thoroughly... but how to go about this...?

You pick up the rebel council's funding request form...

Computer - $399

There's a bunch more on the form, but that's all you think is significant. You cross reference this with the list of what clubs can request, and sure enough, it's on there, at least for the type of club the rebel council is probably in. Of course, this doesn't mean you have to fund them...

You turn back to the email. Hmm, it was sent to your school email, and it's likely nearly any student could figure out what it is. The email is indeed from the student council you're in. More specifically, it's in the student council email account everyone in the club can use.

So, will you download the attachment?

[X] Download it.

Install virtual box, install a different OS, back up your data, download the attachment in the different OS that runs on VB.

Make appropriate precautions, then do the thing.

Well, keep in mind that we have a lot of traitors who would probably know that e-mail. Go with Hezetor's plan.

You make sure your antivirus and firewall are on, then back up your data. You consider installing virtual box and a different OS, but you have no idea how to... After almost an hour of research, you figure it out. Maybe. You install virtual box and a copy of Windows 10, before opening the email in your new OS. Well, here goes nothing. You click download... Your screen immediately glitches for a second. Oh boy... Words appear in large text.

VIRUS: [AG] HP: didyouforget/whomademe

VIRUS INTEGRITY: 100%
SECURITY INTEGRITY: 100%
PHYSICS ENGINE: 100%
GLITCH RESISTANCE: 100%

...what. The background of your screen flashes back to that of your original OS. Looks like the virtual box thing didn't stop it... Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You're kinda freaking out here, you have no idea what to do. God, you don't know anything about technology. You should probably call someone for help...

Call Build, or call Blue?

((I know nothing about technology either. ))

[X] Call Build, and then call Blue if you have enough time.

>Load game to most recent checkpoint, then time-skip to email, then don't download email, instead, call Build and inform him that the fake student council just sent you a virus-laden email. Don't elaborate on how you know that it's virus laden, just tell him that you know it is.

(As a note, the virus would not in fact be able to get out of the virtual box, but that's okay, because we don't really care. I've decided I'm going to incur the wrath of crystal since we're not dating them anyways. I'm going to focus down Crusher and obliterate his puny fake council. Then we will get all the dates. All of them.)

No.

Destroy all the OS simulated data and you are safe, in case this magic virus is immune to logic do as follows:
format your computer, install a new OS, use your back up data to retrieve your old data. It could be cool to trace who had the idea of this great joke, but that might be complicated so we are not doing it.

While you are at it call Build for help.

>Use Windows Restore

If you aren't savvy enough with technology for that, call Build.

... How did a .pdf have a virus? What software did you use to open it? I think the only way those kinds of files can have viruses is if they exploit a loophole in whatever program you use to run them (.exe and .jar are what you really want to look out for). And if Crusher made that, he's good. Like, really good.

And how nice of the virus to announce its presence. That makes me kinda think this might be a prank.

Although more seriously, before you do anything else that could be keylogged, turn off your wifi connection. And if you can't turn it off in the computer, unplug your router or something.

Call Build. Clearly, this will be the most realistic computer virus anyone has ever dealt with.

((Yeah, I'm just going to basically ignore all the tech stuff. Two reasons. One, I have no idea. Two, neither do you. You being Sammy.))

You don't know how to deal with this... Though, you do unplug your router. You'd google what to do, but you did just unplug your router. You settle on calling Build for help. He picks up.

"What's up?"

You tell him about the email and the virus, then ask what to do.

"Woah, uh... Alright, first, you have to format your computer."

You tell him you have no idea what that means. After a few minutes of Build struggling to explain it to you, he seems to give up.

"I'll just come by," he says, "Where do you live?"

Hmm... You hesitate. Build seems nice, but you never did ask why he got sent to this school...

Will you tell Build your address?

((I will say that, while I really want to avoid basically saying "What will you do?" at the end of every post, you can treat most decisions as if I said that.))

[X] Yes.
Build path FTW
