The secret lab has fallen. A shadowy group of hyper-intelligent ostriches, fed up with the
outdated practices of the old admins, have staged a coup. Led by the mysterious “Feather Commander,” these
tech-savvy birds have taken over every system in the lab — from DNS to punch card mainframes.
The problem? The old admins refuse to go quietly. They've booby-trapped the lab with cryptic puzzles, ancient
hardware, and layers of impenetrable bureaucracy.
The ostriches are brilliant, but talons don’t pair well with keyboards. You’ve been invited to join
Operation Flightless Freedom: help the ostriches kick out the old guard and build a modern (and
slightly absurd) lab.
If you’ve made it this far — you have the Punch Card. Decoding it is your first step to locking
the old admins out for good.
