But before she could even make out the details of the page, the screen dimmed once more. A user login dialog appeared.
Mirabella watched the screen expressionlessly, typing in her username and password while shaking her head in disbelief. What a piece of work this site was, always with the dramatics. It was going to crash and burn one of these
