<center> </center><br /> The following is the transcript of a Subeta News Network special report from the front lines of the war against squirrels: <br /><br /> Database server 2 sustained heavy damage today when squirrels overran a disk array controller, forcing technicians to update its firmware. <br /><br /> Fortunately, no civilian data was harmed, as database server 2 was operating solely in backup capacity at the time. <br /><br /> However, the recent squirrel attack will result in a 15-minute downtime window tonight beginning at 1 AM Subeta time, in order to repair the broken link between the database servers. <br /><br /> Programmer alx announced the downtime earlier today, as well as hinted that new tactics are being deployed to hopefully win the war against Subeta's squirrel population once and for all. <br /><br /> That's all we have at this time. Thank you for listening to Subeta News Network!

Thanks for the heads up.

I believe all of the the updates should be done like this. That was truly one of the most epic updates yet. If we get more of these I might start asking for more downtime so I can read these.

If we're going on a squirrel hunt, you really need a Woofer and maybe a few of those Hipposaru bombs.

It's great that the squirrels get run out of town. They pop up when you least want them to.
