Miss Meow just walked over the laptop and tried to update the bot. Apparently she wants everyone to see the number 87.

I have set the bot up to run at 5 minutes past midnight, fingers crossed this one actually works, I'm running out of options to try if it fails again. I've turned off all power management options in the wifi adaptors, and it now has the new adaptor so can connect directly to the router instead of via the phone as a hotspot. This whole thing is like launching a rocket, all the tests can go well and the main launch can still fail! Come on @[email protected] we believe in you!

I sense a conspiracy at work here.

Maybe she sabotaged the bot the last few times when you weren’t looking.

Sounds like Miss Meow is trying to destroy the bot.

~ Midnight bot ready to launch. Stand by please.

Well, if we have another launch failure I'll blame her! Maybe as a black cat she feels midnight should be her domain?
