    [[ April 2nd, 1983 ]]

    You had managed to log in. It took a minute but all in the want to play a good game. Upon entering the system on your old CRT terminal blue text slowly generated. At that moment you knew it had worked and you had successfully accessed W.O.P.R.

    'Greetings.' 'Professor Falken.' You realized it thought you were it's creator. Professor Falken. A man no one really knew where his location was. 'Shall we play a game?' It then proceeded to generate some game options. You knew what you wanted to play though and typed in the words which would send the government into a panic one it reached them.

    'Thermonuclear war.'

    A cursor blinked a few times. The system was thinking. It then suggested a nice game of chess. You on the other hand persisted, typing in the horrible game once more.

    Joshua pulled up a simulator. A small pixilated outline of the United States and the Soviet Union appear and asked you which side you wanted to play. You choose the Soviet Union and let the game begin.

    [[Time skip]] This had drove the government into a panic. Until ofcourse they found out it was a simulation and was trying to figure out who caused it. It was even on the news!

    But ofcourse you realized you had a high likely hood of being caught now. You didn't touch it again until suddenly Joshua called YOU. It wanted to play again, project itself on your computer so you could talk to it.
