The Cloud Migration That Went Too Far

Bylla Ryqn Amanda FBE
Bylla holds a USB. FBE types rsync command.
Ryqn bursts in panicked.
Vortex opens and everyone is sucked into the sky.
They land on a literal cloud server.
Amanda asks about the firewall. Ryqn panics.
Spambots appear yelling malware ads.
Bylla fires CAPTCHA cannon.
FBE realizes the backup is empty.
They crash land with a Dropbox ship.
Amanda gives up on cloud. Rain cloud zaps FBE.
What began as a simple rsync command quickly spirals into cloud chaos. With no firewall, a quantum-entangled server, and pop-up spambots screaming about "eternal cookies," the Xavier Media crew must learn the hard way that not all clouds are silver-lined. Thankfully, they brought a CAPTCHA cannon.

Bonus lesson: Always read the cloud SLA.
