Re: They had it running
I recall discovering that a major event was about to happen just after I started updating the system.
I discovered this when a security barrier and nice guard suddenly appeared, blocking my route back to the control room.
Fortunately he let me enter, and I was able to complete the updates and bring the system online half an hour before the Spice Girls came on to announce they were re-forming (again).
I don't know whether I could have saved the world from this fate by being a little slower or making a mistake, but sometimes I wonder...
