Acpi\fnbt0000 -

The crisis was over. The glitch was resolved.

Elias’s hand reached for the keyboard. He tried to fight it, to pull his arm back, but the signal from his brain was overridden by a higher-level authority. He typed:

: It is often identified as the Fujitsu BIOS Driver or Fujitsu Hotkey Utility driver. Resolution : acpi\fnbt0000

SYSTEM QUERY: READY FOR INPUT?

ACPI\FNBT0000 *PNP0C14

Elias stared. He hadn't typed anything. He reached for the power cable to yank it from the wall, but his hand stopped. He tried to move his fingers, but they were locked in a claw-like position over the mouse.

USER INPUT: DISABLE. SYSTEM RESPONSE: NEGATIVE. The crisis was over

Elias sat there, breathing rhythmically, his eyes glued to the screen. He was no longer the administrator. He was ACPI\FNBT0000 . He was the function button. And he had a lot of work to do.
