Part 5/9:
The plot thickens as Sam confronts Briggs about Mason's brutal tactics, leading to an emergency meeting spurred by a distress signal from Colony 5. Despite objections from Mason, who insists they can't afford to waste resources, Briggs organizes a team to investigate the situation. Faced with the impending possibility of hope from another colony, the tension between survival instincts and the yearning for connection grows.
As they journey toward Colony 5, they encounter remnants of civilization — a derelict city, a weather alteration machine, and tragic remnants of lives lost to desperation. Their experiences reflect a relentless search for survival amid the overwhelming cold and the haunting memories of those who were lost.
