"There's–" Rizz clamped down on his lip to shut himself up, not wanting to accidentally scare everyone else in the hut.

*That's why it's urgent? Because there's a fucking time limit?* Thinking, Rizz quickly deduced, *What's the time limit based on? Does it know when the next person will die? Or is the system just guessing based on the info I gather for myself? Or is the Stooge behind these countdowns?*

There was too much to think about and not enough time for Rizz to relax. 

"I'm heading back." Rizz walked to the door with all eyes on him. "Just keep them breathing. If someone starts to slip, try to keep them talking. Don't let them die till I can give them something."
