You enter the password and the computer takes a moment before a symbol appears showing the computer is connected to the internet but it is a weak signal.


What do you do?

[StrawBarrel]

Try opening an internet browser.

[TheBiggerFish]

Hook up our phone to the Internet from the computer.
Also, is the computer seriously only on the wireless network?

That's entirely possible. But if we start losing internet connection, we should try to look around the office for a cable and modem.

Also, search the news for anything we think is out of the ordinary.

+1 to this in the event of this exact thing happening.

Ditto the Ethernet cable.

The signal seems to hold but it is very slow.
You open up a browser and the homepage shows it's "In Headlines Today" section covered with pictures of burning buildings, crowds of armed people, and airplanes with rows of parachutes flowing out of them. One picture catches your eye in the stream of photos and head lines and that is one of a tank rolling over a car in the middle of a street, there are several civilian bodies laying around on the sidewalks and in the street, the headline to the picture is "Attack on Homeland Soil".

Attack on Homeland Soil

(The image of the tank rolling over a car is shown above the article)

This morning a large, well planned attack was carried out on the East Coast and Northern Border. Zarjois forces aided with regional insurgent groups took out major cities in the areas attacked as well as captured a large stretch of territory that no friendly forces are behind.

The attacks started yesterday with cyber attacks on military sonar and observation posts, groups of insurgents met up before sunrise to prepare and load up for the attacks but met opposition with law enforcement and national guard, not more than an hour later Zarjois troops came pouring in through air drops and armored personel carriers, reports of artillery shellings along the north and carpet bombing on the east, and now the soldiers are pushing through nearly unhindered.

The whole nation is in disarray with rioting in the streets and looting in cities only miles from the attacks. We suggest you gather your family and head to your nearest military base, there you can find help and relocation to safer areas.

The defense ministry reports large movement of friendly forces towards the borders to aid in the defense and anyone in the battle zone to, as soon as possible, get in a vehicle and drive as far away as possible before the real fighting begins.

[StrawBarrel]

Attempt to use some sort of social media platform, instant messaging client, email, or whatever to communicate to Mom, Dad, and Ian that we are safe in the office building. While we wait for a response, find out where the nearest military base is.

If there is a window to the outside, look down at the outside for signs of the supposed battle.
