The Guest Stars of
"Over Logging"
by Wild Willie Westwood
Internet Scientists
Scientist 1 and 2, General, Scientist 3, Scientist 5
Scientists 1 and 2 take the general to the Internet's underground bunker and shows him what it looks like. He's awed by its appearance and tries to communicate with it as if it could understand human speech. Scientist 3 announces he has Internet, and scientist 5 reports that everything is running normally. The general was at the bunker because the President was angry that the Internet wasn't working.
The Transient Camp
Transient Man 1, Old-Timer, Transient Man 2 and 6, Transient Man 5 3 and 4, Some Transients In Color
These transients were also without their Internets. Transient Man 5 lost his two kids because the page they were trying to read was loading very slowly - they died of starvation three days after they clicked on the page, and the page hadn't yet loaded half way. The old-timer had a computer parts store that went under when the Internet disappeared. When the Internet returns, Transient Man 1 wants to go on a bout of e-mailing people, Transient Man 4 wants to click on everything in site, even a popup ad. Transient Man 2 is hopeful, and Transient Man 3 hears there's so much Internet in California that someone could roll aruond in it. Transient Man 6 doesn't say anything until he's at the Internet refugee camp clicking at the dancing kitty Web site.
The Internet Refugee Camp
Refugee Man 1 amd 2, Refugee Man 3, Refugee Man 4, Refugee Man 5, Refugee Woman
Volunteer 1, Volunteer 2, Volunteer 3, Volunteer 4
Refugee Men 1 and 2 welcome the Marshes to the refugee camp, but Refugee Man 2 tells them that the camp only has a little Internet. Refugee Man 3 tells them each family gets 40 seconds of Internet a day. Refugee Man 4 can't complete his Amazon book order because his alloted time is up. Refugee Man 5 has set up a quick little business running an Internet porn simulator. Randy tries it out, but can't masturbate because the simulator has no sound or motion - just static stick-figure images. The woman is waiting for her turn at the computer, but the Red Cross volunteers put it away for the night, and she's upset.
Volunteer 1 just tells Randy to bear with the 40-second time limit. Volunteer 2 keeps watch over the one computer with Internet access and makes sure everyone keeps the alloted time. Exceed it and he calls MPs to haul you off. Randy tries to get Volunteer 3 to give him some time alone with the Internet; the volunteer tells him to get lost. Volunteer 4 tells volunteer 2 to get the keys after they hear sounds coming from the storage shed. Once inside, he checks the computer and sees the Internot is gone.
News 4 Anchormen, Field Reporter, Starbucks Clerk
Man 2 and 3, Motel Clerk, Amir
The Starbucks clerk tells the townsfolk that its Internet is down as well. When Randy suggests the Mac store, Man 2 tells him that'd be a waste of time, as he had just come from there. Man 3 asks if anyone remembers where they got their news before the Internet became so integral to our lives. Randy remembers... television! They soon discover that even television news depends on the Internet: the two reporters can't report on anything because their Internet sources are down. They finally get around to sending a reporter to the Internet bunker when they get a fax telling them the government is getting down to the bottom of this. The motel clerk has no room at the motel, so he tells the Marshes they would have to go to the transient camp a mile down the road. Shelley keeps talking about an online boyfriend, even mentioning his name, but we don't see him until the very end. He is... Amir, a Montana boy Shelley has been i-chatting with for a while now.
