Just then, another employee let out a startled cry. "Shit! My phone's restarting too! I searched the full name just now!"
"Same here! What the hell is happening?"
Panic started to ripple through the room.
An older manager from the IT department, known for his calm demeanor, stood up and said gravely, "Everyone, stop searching immediately. I think this is a deliberate warning. Think about it… either Google itself has implemented a restart protocol that overrides all security firewalls, or someone powerful enough has hacked into Google's system to set this up. Both possibilities are terrifying."
A nervous chatter broke out instantly.
Around the room, more people reported sudden restarts… regardless of the search engine they used. It became obvious that searching 'Eleanor' or 'Eleanor Elizabeth' brought nothing unusual. But searching 'Eleanor Elizabeth Raynor' resulted in a device restart, no matter the platform.
