Hi Maxsg5! Thank you so much for playing and commenting, it is much appreciated :-)
We went a bit loose with the team, but the way we interpret it is that the time of the boss is running out as more and more raiders storm into the lair. It is a bit abstract, so I get sense that it is unclear.
Anyways, thanks again, we are happy you enjoyed our game, and it sounds like you had just the experience we intended!
