9 TO DIEThe Ghost Job
What is The Ghost Job?
The Ghost Job is a final boss with a base health of 3600 and 5 phases. It appears on The Rat Race. It arrives at 16:00, and beating it wins the floor. Its health grows with the clock, the floor and your difficulty. Beating it pays three boxes and 25 PTO, and it counts for gear when the run ends.
"Moving forward with other candidates."
A ghost over reception. Posted, Screening (only skills matching the job's keyword, which keeps changing but is always something someone on your team owns, land in full; the rest do a quarter), the Loop (six interviewers, one question), On Hold (untouchable for twenty seconds), then Ghosted (invisible, no banner). Win: rehired as a Contractor, and the run pays 1.4 times the PTO, to do the old job.
What does it do in each phase?
The Ghost Job changes phase as its health falls, using each phase's moves in turn. The telegraphed attacks mark the ground first, so watch the markings and step out rather than trying to outrun everything. Moves come faster in later phases. It also books itself nearer if you run too far away.

Where and when does it appear?
The Ghost Job is booked 1 time across the building. The table gives each floor and the time on the clock. Floors open one at a time, for one department, by winning the one before. Boss health is multiplied by the time it arrives, so a late booking is a tougher fight than the same boss early on.
