I quickly sat down and began looking through my recently-recieved email to see
if that vital information had arrived.  I checked my watch, Damn, I only had
five minutes to work with, and the message hadn't arrived earlier.  I opened up
the options menu, passing precious seconds of time while I waited for my new
mail notification... I unchecked an option called 'leave messages on the server
after retrieval', I was not about to let *anyone* else have a chance at seeing
that precious information that I needed so badly to save my sisters and my
father...  My new mail notification icon activated, hopefully it was what I
needed.

Downloading message 1 of 685 - What?!? NO! I didn't have that kind of time!  In
a few minutes people were about to start dying if I didn't *hurry*.

I closed netscape mail, I didn't have the time to deal with it... I opened
Microsoft Exchange, hoping it would be a bit more cooperative... A REQUIRED DLL
IS MISSING??? NO!!!  I began tearing my hair out in frustration, and surrendered
to Netscape.  I prayed I would have the time I needed, and tried to ignore the
screams that were coming from outside in higher and higher volumes.....

[...]

I was the only person that survived that day... and someone has to pay.  It
doesn't matter who, so long as someone suffers for what happened.  I stand up,
nobody crosses the only living Tendo sister's path without paying...

Nabiki Vs. Netscape, inspired by actual but much less extreme events.
