   Summary

   “What are we looking at, time-wise?” I ask.

   Three hours until full collapse, maybe two and a half before irreversible abstraction, and— For a moment, it pauses, but not as if it's nervous. It pauses in a way that punctuates its next statement. Two before you need to terminate my kernel.

   Lightning shoots up my spine. “I'm not doing that.”
