The Adventures of O & Cyrus — When the VPN goes down five minutes before the board presentation, O discovers Cyrus has been preparing for this moment his entire career.

O, a small round purple robot with one visor eye, stands next to a laptop showing a 'VPN Connection Failed' error. Cyrus, a raccoon in a charcoal hoodie holding coffee, calmly unfurls a massive printed flowchart labeled 'Demo Day Disaster Recovery Plan' that rolls across the floor.

The Adventures of O & Cyrus — Cyrus had printed backup slides, a mobile hotspot, three redundant connections, and a laminated runbook. O just wanted to click 'reconnect' and hope for the best. The board saw both approaches in real time.
