Finally, at the 30,840,000,004th sheep, Sid informed one little system that it was fine to get back to work.
But what to do when the host didn't seem to be functional?
It seems to be the same as last time, as the readings were again all over the place, with an elevated pulse, heartbeat, and definitely a higher temperature.
"Host!" Called D-29, which shocked Luca into almost falling off the bed as he forgot about, well, everything else.
"!!!"
"D-29! Did you by any chance see, hear, or record anything earlier?" A valid question, because he should have remembered them!
"Oh! No, Host! Sid was adamant that everyone must count sheep dutifully when he says so; he said it was a matter of life and reboot. So, only after the 30,840,000,004th sheep did I activate my regular processes."
"Sid told you to count sheep?"
"Yes, Host! Even D-64 has been counting!"
