while walking along the rocky beach you hear within the lapping of 
the waves a rhythmic, sparse, beeping. You take some time, 
following the noise to its source: a small shallow cave, 
barely large enough for you to fit.

inside the cave you find a rugged laptop, a warm blue screensaver says 
"connected to satellite uplink: mildlypepper". 
it also displays a date: September 2097. 
That's strange, you think, it isn't 2097, its [current year]
