I looked at Leo. He looked at Sandra.
No. Absolutely not.
“I didn’t brick it,” I said quietly. “I resurrected it.”
The screen flickered. A progress bar appeared.
“You bricked it,” Leo whispered. He had appeared out of nowhere, holding a beer. “You bricked the whole PA an hour before load-in.”
At 47%, the bar stopped for a full ninety seconds. The PA mains emitted a single, long, mournful ffffrrrrrrrrr tone, like a dying whale.
“Nobody bricks anything,” I hissed. I remembered a dark forum post from 2019. “If the PX freezes during update, hold down the ‘Wizard’ and ‘Utility’ buttons while powering on.”
