You put the M.A.D WORLD glasses on yourself, shifting your attention towards the now powered-on computer. You boot up ABNOWATCH again and, thankfully, <span class="mu-b">The Man</span> left behind some bookmarks for you from yesterday.
You click them, and, oh boy, your head is SEETHING all of a sudden. You grit your teeth...and you <span class="mu-g">endure your headache</span> without any issue.
You can access the information now, but you don't have too much time to skim through it all.
>You can now use ABNOWATCH this shift!
You briefly skim through the bookmark you clicked on. The information is still pretty hard to parse, even with the glasses on, but you pick up on a few key sentence snippets.
ARTICLE #1
<span class="mu-s">[REDACTED] Police Department has requested that we keep the suspect and his relatives anonymous in this article.</span>
<span class="mu-s">When questioned about his son's disappearance, the suspect's father responded with this: "I knew he was going to do something stupid. That punk's always <span class="mu-b">doing stupid shit for attention.</span>. Fucking prick is gonna get himself killed because of this, I say."</span>
<span class="mu-s">The suspect was later found in the nearby woods and promptly arrested. He was later charged with five counts of petty theft.</span>
<span class="mu-s">These charges were dropped by a pardon from the mayor on behalf of her daughter, [REDACTED]</span>
ARTICLE #2
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">Lennart</span> [REDACTED], former captain of [REDACTED] High's football team, has just been arrested as <span class="mu-b">a suspect behind the disappearance of [REDACTED]</span></span>
<span class="mu-s">Police claim that when they found him, he was barely able to speak. The suspect was quoted saying that <span class="mu-b">'he shouldn't have gotten up'</span></span>.
<span class="mu-s">When pressed further on what he meant, he said that <span class="mu-b">'they ran him over, because 'someone' told them he 'deserved' it, but he just got right back up.'</span> Police assume this is in reference to [REDACTED], who went missing only a few days ago.</span>
<span class="mu-s">He is currently being held in police custody.</span>
That's all your mind can bear. You quickly remove the glasses before clicking out of ABNOWATCH. You managed to read that without breaking something in your head, but <span class="mu-b">your gut tells you won't so lucky next time.</span>
"W-what did it say? It just g-gave an error message."
"Yeah. Ya were just starin' at nothing, Vince."
"Okay! The glasses work!" You crack a smile, not really answering the two. "It was about 199X. My head kinda hurts when I think about it. We'll talk about it later."
You mouse over the icon for CPPQUEST. "Are we ready to meet FET, Anthony?"
The smile he was wearing vanishes immediately. "Go ahead."
You click on the icon a few times, but nothing happens. Huh. The program's buggy at the best of times, but normally it would've booted up by now. You click on it again and again, expecting something to happen.
A distorted window suddenly pops onto the screen.
