9 TO DIEThe Golden Parachute
What is The Golden Parachute?
The Golden Parachute is a final boss whose bar counts down to when it leaves and 4 phases. It appears on The Sinking Ship. It arrives at 16:00, and beating it wins the floor. Beating it pays three boxes and 25 PTO, and it counts for gear when the run ends.
"Thrilled to announce my next chapter."
You do not kill it, and nothing you fire lands. The bar counts down the captain's last hundred seconds on the sinking ship. Then the captain floats up and out of the building on a golden parachute, working in reverse, while the floor floods and the confetti falls. You win by still being there when it is gone.
What does it do in each phase?
The Golden Parachute 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 Golden Parachute 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.
| Floor | Clock | Slot |
|---|---|---|
| The Sinking Ship | 16:00 | Final |
