Chloe woke up in her bed, which she still felt really decadent lounging in, rolled onto her side and pulled the blanket up over her head as she grumbled in resistance to waking up. The lump that was Chloe went still as if she were going back to sleep then suddenly the blanket was tossed off as she sat up, her eyes going wide. She rubbed at her eyes, blinked then gaped to make sure she wasn’t still dreaming. No. She was awake, and it was a beautiful, perfect, fantastic morning.
“….oh my god…”
There. Sitting just as she’d left it at home was the love of her life, her life’s breath. Her beloved laptop. Anyone with a shelter near hers would be able to hear Chloe’s squeal of joy as she scrambled from the bed to scoop up her baby. Even better, she noted that the power cord came. She wouldn’t lose use of it once the battery ran down. Hugging the laptop against her chest she grinned up at the ceiling of her shelter. “Thank you thank you thank you!” With this she’d be able to contribute so much more to their community!
First things first. She had to get dressed. It took until she had her shorts on before she realized she’d received new clothing straight from her closet at home along with the laptop. Her smile wasn’t going to go away any time soon. Once dressed she grabbed up her laptop and power cord then all but ran for the construction site and that speaker.
It was still kind of early yet. Not many people were here yet. There was one obvious new member of their society who prodded his cold wet nose under her arm for some attention. “Hey, you!” Chloe was absolutely charmed by the puppy and ruffled those adorable floppy ears. “You want to help? This is going to be great.” She grinned as she plugged her baby into the power supply, sat down then opened up the monitor to get started. Hearing the bong indicating a successful start up, Chloe could barely contain her excitement.
Windows were opened to change the settings so she wouldn’t be wasting memory on things she couldn’t access anymore…like the internet…but it looked like all the programs she’d need for coding weren’t corrupt. Yay! All good things and something she’d explore more thoroughly later. For right now, she wanted to alert the community that she was plugged in…her way. All it took was a few clicks, turning on the speaker, ruffling the puppy’s fur in between tasks then hitting Enter, and the speaker came alive.
Chloe reached out to crank the volume then sat back with a proud grin.
