Everyone looked at Bell as he muttered the truth.

"He's resisting. Park, give him another dosage, we need this intel." Adler said, prepping the new script.

"We can't! You already told me to up the dosage a moment ago and I did, if we give him any more than he can handle it may kill him!" She protested.

"I didn't ask!" Adler snapped back. "We had this conversation earlier. We get what we want or Bell dies. Perseus is hours away from launching those nukes.
So set aside your personal feelings and do your job."

She didn't respond, although she knew he was right. She injected Bell with the dosage, and his scream began to echo throughout the small room again.

"Here we go again...." Sims said.

"You readied your bow to take them out silently." Adler continued to guide Bell, hoping the extra dosage would give him more control over him.

"I used stealth..." Bell's physical being said quietly, staying on script.

"Yes, nice job Bell."

He felt as if his mind was being torn apart and being put back together over and over again within a matter of seconds. He realized Adler was becoming too strong, whatever they gave him was starting to over take him. He tried to cling on with anything he had left to that voice. The voice that warned him, the voice that piqued his interest. But it was too late, his strong will he had started to falter and Adler had gained complete control. For now.

"You followed the path until you reached the ruin." Adler said.

The full moon illuminated the jungle and the paths within it. As Bell made his way through the jungle he noticed objects that were out of place. He saw a terminal of some sort sitting on a rock along with a medical bed that was turned on its side. Seeing this caused a sharp pain in his head, as he recalled these objects and others as things he'd seen previously.

"Bell! Stop looking around and go to the ruin." Adler got his attention. Bell forgot what he was doing and continued down the path.

"The path split near the ruin so you took the well traveled trail on your left, not towards the waterfall on your right."

Bell was about to go left when he saw a TV in front of the ruin. He cautiously approached it. He jumped when he heard a ding come from it, as it played old war footage from Vietnam. He looked from the TV over to the right path, observing the red light that shone beneath it, oddly identical to the red room back in the safehouse.

"Bell, take the left path, you didn't find anything in the ruin." Adler said, trying to keep his cool.

Bell slowly backed away from the TV watching the footage disappear as it made a noise indicating it was off. He jogged towards the left path and began uphill. He came to a halt when he approached the flowing river. Pulling out another arrow, he placed it in the bow and fired, killing one of the enemy soldiers. After four more arrows, the soldiers were down, and Bell went to go collect the arrows off the corpses.

He found himself approaching a bridge and saw overhead a helicopter flying by.

"You mentioned crossing a bridge near a village. The bunker was somewhere on the other side."
