Beat The Clock: Interactive Story

Normal

You woke up this morning and had breakfast, completely normal. You then turned on the t.v. to watch your favorite show, Gravity Falls, also normal. What wasn't so normal was that what came up instead was somebody on the news. " Urgent News!: nuclear scientist Jack Cuchio has plans to release a poisonous gas called "mewton" into the sky. Apparently, mewton turns the human brain into a ticking time bomb, set to explode at a certain time. From the information we could gather, mewton spreads very far very quickly, so at 10:00 all of Eurasia will be infected, and by 10:10 the rest of the world will be too. The time bombs are all scheduled to blow up exactly one hour after the mewton is spread, so spend your time wisely!" You too are a scientist, and are certain you can find a cure, but you have more knowledge than the news reporter of what mewton is. It confuses the mind and body, causing your body to react to minutes like days. You'd be surprised if anyone even lasted until the bombs exploded. Although you would love to dedicate the entire hour you have left to the study of finding the cure, you need to take extra good care of yourself. 10 minutes of not eating would affect you like over a week of starvation would, and stabbing somebody with a pencil is like stabbing them with a knife. You look over and check the clock. It reads 9:45, so you have 15 minutes of time to do whatever. You can do one of two things. Either use this time to make a machine that will somehow magically feed nutrients into your system or to do some research about mewton. If you make the machine, cross off the food section of your score chart as you don't need it anymore. If you do research, add 30 research points to the 📋 section. Your questy mission thing or whatever starts now.
