“I don’t know,” Phillip said. “It’s one thing to say that we’re not ready, but to ask for extensions on contracts that have long been in place…?”
“That’s where your magic is needed, Phillip,” Chloe said. “Your team is going to have to burn the midnight oil getting more grants and more funding while the legal team tries to fend off the vultures.”
“It’s too risky,” Katherine said. “What if we get our extensions, but no additional funding?”
“There’s a last-resort funding measure we can take,” Chloe said, “but it’s something that we can only do once, ever. I can’t give you the specifics right now– that’s more on Daniel’s end– but I want to reserve that for when we have exhausted all our other options.”
“We’re getting to that point,” Phillip said. “I still can’t believe that Daniel ran off like that. What nerve.”
“You said it yourself, though,” Katherine said. “We’re not heartless, and he thinks we can handle this ourselves.”
“He gives us too much credit, I think,” Phillip scoffed.
“Be that as it may, it’s what we’re faced with,” Chloe said. “Anyway, I think we all have a lot of work ahead of us. We should get back to that, then, and later today we’ll go over the finances one last time to see what we’ll need to do.”
