estimates padded, miracles delivered

Yon gallery's got no thrust, no comms, and no one at the console who cares — so I'll take Furiosa for forward momentum, Uhura to put a voice on the channel, and Starling to make the thing look back at whoever's standing in front of it.

SHE'LL HOLD (ESTIMATE: FOUR HOURS)

A web page that only runs while you hold a key down. A 92-BPM engine knock starts on contact and dies the instant you let go. Two identical reactor simulations, seeded from the millisecond you arrived, are handed one bit of difference at beat sixty and visibly diverge; over them a gritty synthesised burr counts down an estimate it is plainly lying about. One load in seven, she blows. Pulse, voice, a fork, and it needs you there.
