I had a really good idea while asleep, and I wanted to submit a third submission!

Contract Title: Bury the Hatchet
Briefing:
47, there’s a second request from a familiar client: Manfriend Keene, the father of Marion Keene, the tour guide that accompanied “Ten Minute Terry,” formally known as safety inspector Terrence Chesterfield, who you eliminated in Club Hölle in Berlin.
You have been tasked with the elimination of Phineas Whitmer, self-proclaimed private detective prodigy. He’s invited across Europe to solve groundbreaking cases, whether it being murder or theft. The truth of the matter, however, is that Whitmer is a fraud. He contaminates the crime scene and only skims the crime scene for clues, grabbing and stretching the truth. He has been framing evidence and using loose clues found on the crime scenes to falsify accuse and incriminate innocent suspects. Whitmer lets the guilty roam free, all to avoid the paperwork and conferences, instead publicly framing the innocent to uphold his fame.
His most recent slothful action was during the case of the robbery of the Love In Santorini painting made by the Sisal Bardu. Instead of correctly investigating and accusing the late Kody Haynes, he instead framed a local museum security guard after finding an inconveniently placed pair of pliers on the crime scene. After the guard’s arrest and the case seemingly closed, a new murder case popped up days later: the murder of museum curator Louise Keene. Louise Keene was our client’s fiancé, and he wants revenge for the severed tie in his family.
To ease the work of the murder investigation of Zachary Carlisle, he’s tipped some local maids to skew his investigation so he can frame his first suspect: grandson of the Carlisle matriarch Patrick Carlisle. The maids in question are skewing their story so that it seems that Patrick snuck out to the greenhouse, and a particular maid, Sophie Byrne, is buying the other two maids time to prepare their story for unsuspecting witnesses.
For his slothful inadequacy of investigating crime scenes, our client requests to have Whitmer bury the hatchet. Our client advised you to take your time, wanting to make sure that Whitmer’s deeds end here in Dartmoor. I wish you luck, 47, make sure these four sleep forever.
Brief Description:
There’s elements of sloth in both the briefing and gameplay. During the mission, the agent may wait in a specific location to take care of Phineas, not needing to set up for a specific kill. In terms of the maids, the agent must wait before advancing in, sometimes having to take out a couple witnesses before actually killing the targets. However, this then appeals to all players, allowing creative freedom on how to approach the maids. While this is the opposite of the Sloth escalation, slow and steady wins the race!

Contract Title: U = mgh
Briefing:
People are full of potential… gravitational potential energy that is! And nowhere is as filled with potential energy as the Burj Al-Ghazali. Why do any work when gravity can do it all for you! If you want to you can even do it without walking up a single step. Truly the lowest effort possible.
Brief Description:
This contract is a bit of a chain where you push people to their deaths and take their outfits for the next kill. Although the description themes it around a slothful idea the targets themselves may be tricky to find a way to not be seen pushing them or taking their outfits. There’s no pacifications, but there are potentially some ways to avoid taking the targets clothing for those who want to play it a bit different too.

That one is potentially misleading though as the contract doesn’t take place at the penthouse and this isn’t a target but I didn’t remember any other guards that lean on a railing
Nice contract. Did it SASO in 4:24.
Did four submitted contracts in SASO. Enjoy.

Contract Title: Get Up Offa That Thing
Briefing:
No matter how funky fresh the beats are, some people just don’t respect the DJ - sat firmly on their backsides all night instead of giving it some beans on the dancefloor.
47, you have been hired by all DJs ever to perform a special set that will get this unappreciative portion of the crow out of their seats… permanently.
I hope you’re ready to get up and do your thing…
Brief Description:
The gimmick: dress as a DJ and eliminate five targets who all remain seated (unless disturbed).
The mechanics: five well-spaced static targets with other NPCs roving around them, creating windows of opportunity. The only restriction is the DJ disguise. Can be completed SA from default start with default gear. Each target alone is hopefully challenging-but-doable for less experienced players whilst not boringly simple for more experienced players. For speedrunners, the challenge is both efficient route-planning across the level and timing of the sequencing of windows of opportunity for each target.

Great job compiling all those contracts and its codes into one comment. I can even see my contract in that bundle. So many Sloth themed contracts, I won’t get bored for some time.
There’s a couple ways to complete Lethal Lethargy but it looks like I was the fastest (when I completed it). Here’s my run but I imagine you could be faster using the hatch which leads directly to the ICA server racks.
I think I might be able to compile multiple clips into one soon. That way I might be able to fit a bunch from one location into a single video, which would be nice

Title: Slothus Flower
Creators: WinstonPeroni & MontezumahCHP
Briefing: One who does not rouse themself when it’s time to rise, who, though capable, is full of sloth, whose will and thought are weak, that lazy and iddle person will never find their way to true knowledge.
Brief description: The laziest people in the map are the targets, no ko and suit only are the conditions for this puzzle contract.
Immage sugestion
I did it in 2:48 but I shot the guard into the water (fall) and it didn’t count as a fall kill.
So I tried it again and got 3:22.
@Crewdy was this like your run?
Bit of a close call around 17 seconds but it continues blow my mind the things speed runners think of (and how useful the stuff I usually let collect dust in my inventory can really be).
(Yeah, I think only pushing triggers “fall, accident” but I’m not sure)
Omg, you guys are so good at this, I literally couldn’t get past the flirtatious drowning bodyguard for two days
No I’m not lol. Why? He goes to either bathroom toilet every time.
The maid would see me all the time
They just think like speed runners; it’s not for us normies to comprehend, just to be amazed by.
Weird people see weird things at weird times from weird places in Dartmoor sometimes; occasionally Patrick Carlisle will follow me everywhere if I wear the butler disguise in his presence and I’m still not really sure what triggers it…
Sometimes when you interrupt him when he’s chatting to the maid he’ll try and get you to look for his lighter or something so he can go back to his chat
I swear I had done this one. I went in blind on this run before watching your video. Looks like we had a similar approach but just a slightly different route in places. (Also, TIL you can sidle in to the security room, which would have saved me probably 20+ seconds).
Looks like we had a similar idea for all the targets. @Krikkit2021 here is my 2:49 as promised:
Recreated and gave this one a go as well - very nice target selection; I’m sure it can be done a lot quicker though.
I’ve enjoyed all of your contracts that I’ve played! (PS I also love your YT thumbnail style - so clean)
Can’t wait to see which contracts get picked. Good luck everyone
In another ‘great minds…’ moment, I’m afraid I went with a ‘seated targets in Berlin’ theme too (Get Up Offa That Thing). Obviously, hadn’t seen yours before I posted - in fact, I’d made the contract a few weeks ago (as can be seen from the number of players on the leaderboard) but when I started thinking about the sloth theme it just seemed a perfect fit. We seem to have different targets and different conditions, so hopefully you don’t feel I’ve stepped on your toes. Tbh, I think yours works well, three targets might be the right number; I went with five, but now feel that might be too many.
A couple of more Sloth contracts in SASO.
