Part 3/8:
Seeking the Source: Parn Heidecker
The mission spirals further when the group learns about a reclusive figure named Parn Heidecker—a religious individual thought to be colluding with the roaches by providing them sustenance. The squad believes they must investigate Parn's compound, armed with cutting-edge augmented reality displays provided by their neural implants.
Upon arriving at the compound, tension is palpable. When Parn reluctantly admits the soldiers into his home, an unexpected discovery awaits upstairs—a hidden room with several roaches lurking, setting off a violent chain reaction. Stripes, unyielding in his newfound thrust into chaos, engages in a visceral fight for survival that leaves him disturbed and questioning his moral compass.
