Dropped off short deadline opportunity

Regarding new opportunity which had short turn around time, the decision was transferred to other account team and the deadline was setup at 5 PM on the same day.

The response was neutral and it was conveyed that they were also not sure about the outcome and its better to go ahead and from the solution.

So, after all research and hard work I was able to find an alternative work-around, it was to open webmail in my personal laptop and from there I was able to login to Skype.
