9 TO DIEThe Projected Bonus
What is The Projected Bonus?
The Projected Bonus is a calendar boss with a base health of 900 and 3 phases. It appears on The Rat Race. If it is still standing at the next booking, it leaves without paying out. Its health grows with the clock, the floor and your difficulty.
"Payable next year, subject to performance."
A rabbit the size of a car, the lure the treadmill desks chase. Its nameplate is the number, and the number goes down each phase until it is zero, subject to board approval.
What does it do in each phase?
The Projected Bonus 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 Projected Bonus 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 Rat Race | 7:30 | Calendar 2 |
