| |
| − | [[Megan]] picks up a strange device that mysteriously asks her to enter a query after stating "LOADED TABLE: PEOPLE ENTER QUERY." She looks around and sees people surrounding her. Upon entering a MySQL-esque query into it (SELECT * FROM PEOPLE WHERE AGE > 30), the specified people are basked in a yellow light. She then tries other experimental queries, and sees it work every time.
| |
| − | Finally, she types "DROP TABLE PEOPLE" (delete the Table named People), and everybody, including herself, disappears.
| |
| − | It can be noted that the title text may be a joke stating that when the people died, they were moved to a table called "GHOSTS." The query would then, presumably, see all the people that were deleted.
