Set a scene in your world where something is being rushed at the request of a customer. What is being created/updated/done for the customer, and how do the folks working on it treat rush orders?
Sometimes, I get inspired by life for these prompts. I woke up this morning and logged into my work PC to find that a task one of my teammates should have done yesterday wasn't completed and we'd already sent out a massive email campaign tied to this missing task - two hours prior to my waking up! So, it was time to buckle down and do an hours worth of work in 15 minutes. Did I cut corners? Shit yes I did. Will anyone ever be able to tell a difference? 0% chance.
