"Gentlemen, I know it is difficult to prepare a ship in twelve hours for a race as important as this one," he said. "But I personally believe that any spaceman who really wants to make it can make it!" "Well, I'm not going to break my back to make a deadline," snarled Quent. "And I don't think any of the other fellows here will either."
My presence on the planet means that Krafft won't keep his threat to drop the bombs any earlier than the midnight deadline. That would be deliberately murdering me. I doubt if my presence past midnight will stop him, but it should keep the bombs away at least until then." "What will you accomplish besides committing suicide?" Lea pleaded. "You just told me how a single man can't stop the bombs.
I'm afraid there are only two days left before you must evacuate." His eyes were large with compassion. "I'm sorry. I know this will make your job that much harder." Brion didn't want to think about the loss of a full day from his already close deadline. "Have you told the Disans this yet?" "No," Krafft told him. "The decision was reached a few minutes before your call.
"What do you mean, tomorrow?" Brion asked. "It's three days to deadline and we still have a job to do." Faussel had dropped heavily into one of the seats and he sprang to his feet again, clutching the seat back to keep his balance in the swaying car. "Three days, three weeks, three minutes what difference does it make?"
Opening line for one of his chapters. Then he wanted to know if I'd been born on Fenris. I saw I was going to have to get firm with Mr. Murell, right away. The time to stop that sort of thing is as soon as it starts. "Who," I wanted to know, "is interviewing whom? You'll have at least five hundred hours till the next possible ship out of here; I only have two and a half to my next deadline.
No, and if you do, I will not sign it. Let's change all this. Instead of a Presidential budget that gets discarded and a congressional budget resolution that is not enforced, why not a simple partnership, a joint agreement that sets out the spending priorities within the available revenues? And let's remember our deadline is October 1st, not Christmas.
The older man studied the broad back of the younger, bent over his computations, and a tender, almost fatherly smile came over his careworn face as he replied: "Early? You? Just like you always were plus fifteen seconds on the deadline. The final dope is due right now."
Why, a person would think you were worrying about me." "I am, Joan. I wish you would give up herding sheep, let the share and the prospect and all of it go, and have your father put a herder in to run that band for you." "They'll not hurt me; as mean as they are they'll not fight a woman. Anyway, I'm not over the deadline." "There's something prowling this range that doesn't respect lines, Joan."
Captain Yates, assistant superintendent of the Opening, started from O'Neill, Nebraska, bearing the applications from that registration point. So that there would be no danger of his not reaching the town of Dallas with the applications before the deadline, a special train was waiting for him.
But the obvious snags were rapidly disposed of, and the whole revamped operation was outlined on paper in surprisingly few hours. A deadline date was set, construction was authorized, and in the morning the first steps in the practical implementation of the new program would be taken. "Well, that's that," Alexander said with a sigh. "I think this calls for a drink."
