Orange, a French ISP, was about to unveil a new model of STB[^stb] named after
|
||||
the main app I work on at my day job. Bouygues Télécom, another french ISP,
|
||||
was also about to unveil a new version of its Bbox. Me and two of my IRL
|
||||
friends were talking about those at a small store near my coworking space, and
|
||||
we were also looking at a map of the nearby Wi-Fi networks on our phones. One
|
||||
of the phones was an iPhone.
|
||||
|
||||
We logged into one of the nearby Wi-Fi networks and I used some credentials
|
||||
that were given to me by Stargate Command: `sg420s` as the username and I
|
||||
forgot the password. I remembered the username more because of the `420` than
|
||||
because it is related to Stargate, even though I am a fan of it. The avatar on
|
||||
that account was my face, but bald, with a darker skin color, and covered in
|
||||
tattoos like a Goa'uld.

I remember being at my parents' home during dawn, sitting on the sofa in the
|
||||
living room while the blinds were almost completely shut but some bits of
|
||||
sunlight still could peek through them and light up the room a little bit.
|
||||
I was explaining to my mom the advantages of getting fiber, and in particular
|
||||
of getting a Bbox with fiber now before the new model enters the market because
|
||||
there already were issues with it. I mentioned a speed of 6 GB/s (in bytes,
|
||||
not bits) and 3 GB/s if this was divided evenly between the floors.

I then remember being in a basement, escaping from zombies. We were initially
|
||||
just talking about the new STBs and Wi-Fi stuff while looking at some old
|
||||
worn-out posters glued to the wall. The basement had concrete walls, concrete
|
||||
floor and concrete ceiling, and all the concrete was a bit dirty. It was lit
|
||||
up by neons, giving the gray concrete a blueish hue. We started to walk down
|
||||
a large hallway from the room we were in.
|
||||
|
||||
Along the wall on our right, a door opened and a zombie came out of it.
|
||||
I was starting to get really anxious but got confused as the zombie was just
|
||||
walking normally at our speed, as if it just belonged to our group. Then, it
|
||||
tries to grab my shoulder. I start running as fast as I can to reach one of
|
||||
my friends who had walked faster and went through a door at the end of the
|
||||
hallway.
|
||||
|
||||
The door leads to a staircase. I do not see my friend, and I can go both up
|
||||
and down, so I hesitate for a second then run downstairs. I go faster and
|
||||
faster, basically jumping down multiple steps at a time, and wonder if the
|
||||
zombie isn't just glad that I'm going down since I am going further into the
|
||||
basement. I remember hearing during that whole sprint some electronic music.
|
||||
|
||||
The stairs continue into some sort of lit-up platform floating in a very dark
|
||||
room. The floor of that room cannot be seen. The platform has white metal
|
||||
handrails and portions of it are stairs. It seems to head towards another
|
||||
lit-up tunnel on the other side of the room. I keep on running.

[^stb]: In France, you can't have your own router. Instead, you get what is
|
||||
known in America as an STB or Set-Top Box, known in France as just "a box".
|
||||
French STBs are usually flexible enough that even for self-hosting you won't
|
||||
need your own router.
