A Wind in the Door

So, we have two "real" days to work on this thing that I've spewed from the depths of my mind and that my team-mates have picked up and manipulated. The thing may turn out as monstrous as my inspiration: the Cherubim (that singular plurality) from the book A Wind in the Door.

Here is the fundamental problem with how this project has gone and is going. The conglomerate ChrisPerryLeeSpector foresaw in its infinite wisdom that the groups could not rely on a single person ("to do some super human task") to finish their project. However, programming something like what I cooked up is something far beyond my own meager programming skills, that it may as well be considered super-human from my point of view. If it is beyond the skills of the programmer in our group it is beyond all of us, and there is nothing a single one of us can do about it. If this kid proves to be an arrogant sort, we may just have a disaster on our hands. If he is not, I hope to all gods in ASH 126 that he has the sense to seek help. The process to me is wrapped up in fog. If he has a problem I do not have the knowledge to help him or even look for something that could help him.

IF IF IF!

I've started something and it has rolled away from me as quickly as its conception. We have no recourse. ChrisLee has pointed out the cliff and told us to fly. How many wings do I have to draw to save us?
