1. Weird thing starts to happen.
2. No one can figure it out, but it seems relatively harmless, if annoying.
3. It starts to get less harmless.

6. The problem becomes catastrophic.
7. The real solution is found, and for about ten minutes everyone scrambles to implement it before the latest doomsday kicks in.
