Adjustments
Bill: Jim just has a respirator on his face. It can be cut. Now we'll do that.
Task: Go through the living room in the "against time" mode.
Bill pulls a blade out and quickly comes to a chair in the center of the room. Jack stares at the former policeman. He and Matt almost simultaneously ask one question.
Jack: Bill, what are you doing?
Matt: Bill, what are you doing? Really? .. Don't even think, Bill! Do not spoil the game!
You hear cloth cracking and the respirator falls to the floor. Bill walks away - Jim is sitting on a chair, blushed, his hair standing on end.
Matt: Noooo! Bill, what have you done? What? Have? You? Done?
Indistinct sounds reminding sobs can be heard from the speakers. They gradually transform into animal-like yelps.
Matt: Oh, wow! I'm so lucky! I was just in time to find a funny button for Jim's muzzle on my remote control. Oh, haven't you known that I've got a remote control?
Matt: Due to the recent incident I introduce the necessary adjustments concerning "Respect the personal space." Henceforth acceleration of the timer on Jim's collar is proportional to the number of strangers in the living room. The more onlookers are here, the shorter doctor's life will be.
Matt: By the way, if you still didn’t get it, the respirator was a decoy, it is the collar that squeezes Jim's neck. But I'm not going to explain its working principle, you didn't deserve my explanations.
Bill's face is unreadable. You touch his shoulder - it was a good attempt. He just shakes his head, immediately turning from a stern policeman to an old man .
Jim: It's better to look at you not through dim glass.
Hearing the husky voice and watching Jim's smile on his red face you want to scream.
Matt: What a drama! Or comedy? In your place, Bill, I'd stand at the door and let no one in. Sure, Feather, can cope without your prompting.
You completed the task and received some points of freedom and some tokens
Matt: Feather, as I can see, you do not have an incentive to carry out my tasks. "How is Jim's suffocating related to my running? " you would ask. They are related directly, but it's not important right now. You know, what's important? If you refuse to obey me, I will find another button press it and Jim will die. Without any "if" and "when."
