“Niles, if this test launch is successful how long will it take to prepare the next shuttle?” The wolf scratched the fur between his ears. “Uh… Maybe a couple of days. Maybe more because we’re starting with the one most likely to succeed so the next one might need more work…” “And if the test fails?” asked Ryder. “Ah… that depends how catastrophically it fails,” said Niles. “If the shuttle explodes and damages the ground station it could be weeks to repair. Or might be impossible to fix if it takes out all four lasers.” The deer nodded again. “I see… Unfortunately I don’t think we have weeks. Or even days. A little fox tells me something dangerous is coming here to stop us. We’ll just have to trust your engineering and take the first shuttle.” “Straight from Alpha to Gold Master and let the end users find the bugs!” Yukon clapped her hands together, grinning broadly. “Now you’re talking like a real project leader!” === Excerpt from 'Furry Inside: Being' #furry #writing
