I don't know what you mean by topic but if you mean a verb, then you can use world.Reboot proc.

Send it a topic message of "Reboot" Note that, as that reference entry states, the message should come from "the master server" I do believe that means a server which used startup() to start the world you want to reboot.

So send the "Reboot" topic message from the world which called startup() in order to start the game. I think that's how it works.

mob
    verb
        Reboot()
            var
                link = "link goes here"
                params = list("action" = "reboot")
            world.Export("[link]?[list2params(params)]")

world
    Topic(T)
        var/params = params2list(T)
        switch(params["action"])
            if("reboot")
                Reboot(2)


Didn't test it but that should do it.
