Your commander, sir--he is now pleased with our actions?
gpt
Not exactly. He will disintegrate a town seven days from sunrise this morning if all the fuel isn't produced by then.

There was startled disbelief on Brenn's face.
gpt
But how can he expect us to produce so much fuel in so short a time?
human
I don't know. I'm sorry--it's something I would have argued against if I hadn't had too much sense to try.
gpt
Seven days-- Brenn said again.
human
We can only pray that God will let it be time enough.
