The clock on Mira’s workstation read 2:00 AM. The deadline for the skyscraper’s structural renders was in six hours, and her screen was frozen on a single, damning error message: Autodesk Licensing Service 9.2.2 Download

“No,” she whispered, her third coffee of the night turning bitter in her mouth. “Not now.” A green bar crawled across the screen
