Prosperous Turnip - Digital. Saganaki’s pet dog FIDO1 has been found unresponsive in the server room of the popular information FIO, with several shredded cables surrounding him.

Whether this has anything to do with the extended downtime FIO has experienced recently has not been confirmed. FIO refused to make a statement - rather, upon contacting FIO via the public email provided, a file which was named ‘FIO Backdoor’ was received. Opening the file had no noticeable effects.3

FIDO is expected to make a full recovery, though some are not as optimistic. Corlis, a well-known member of FOWL, began making funeral arrangements upon hearing about FIDO’s current state.

Editor’s note:

I decided to get my own copy of the FIO Backdoor file and open it. I’m not sure what happened next, but I feel like a god!
