Looks like Ohio is still going strong after all this time.
I pulled out the damaged chip and tossed it to the ground, where it clattered with several others of the same model.
I inserted the new one, where it slid back inside.
A green light appeared, indicating that my job was done.
35 minutes left on the timer.
Looks like I get a bonus for completing a job a little early.
I typed in the return code and readied myself for the cord to yank me back to the surface.
Hopefully, this repair was worth all the trouble.

6,000 miles away, in a ruined, uninhabited zone that used to be Sandusky, Ohio, an elderly woman had finally noticed that her phone was back online after a grueling three weeks of no service.
This was a common occurrence with people of her status level, an ironic existence considering her old home had been smoothed over by one of the world's largest data megacenters, encompassing the entirety of the state of Ohio and half of Michigan.
She is just one of the many civilians that try to make their existence work under its shadow.
She limped into a ragged hovel, pieced together from the wooden ruins of human homes.
It existed under the shade of a white steel canopy that jutted out from the megacenter's exterior, out of sight from the security drones.

She asked her AI companion to send her daughter a message, where it then generated a crude image of what is supposed to be a dancing giraffe saying, The message reached its destination, where it was then promptly ignored by its recipient.
Water lapped gently at my bare feet, stripped of my socks and shoes that I had tossed into a corner hours ago.
I stared into the blue, sloshing pool, squinting into the depths.
