Part 6/10:
Amidst the chaos, Dr. Burt confesses that their exploration for new habitable worlds led them into a trap. Their attempts to manipulate the alien gates resulted in DNA transformations that stripped them of their humanity. With the catastrophic revelation hanging in the air, Joana attempts to regroup the remaining survivors, seeking to escape the base just as chaos reigns around them.
Dr. Burt, twisting under the weight of alien influence, reveals his dark intent. Having traversed the portal, he is no longer human but rather a vessel for the aliens’ machinations. He turns on his former allies, killing Dr. Veronica and imprisoning Joana and her remaining comrades.
