- Mission Briefing

Pursuit of Truth is the second cinematic cutscene featured in "The Final Chapter" saga of the Roach Chronicles, created by RoachTheIntelCollector. It is guest-written by Anakin Nakamura.

Story
Tachibana opens his eyes to find himself in an endless black void. As he looks at his hands, he notices that he has returned to his original form as The Son, thinking aloud what this could mean. At that moment, an echoing voice asks if the seal has been broken. The Son looks around before he sees a light piercing through the darkness as it approaches him, which manifests into an apparition of The Father. The Son is shocked, as he has not seen The Father since the Nexus's creation so long ago. The Son answers his question, saying that Ignotus has broken the seal and assumed control of the Nexus. The Father tells The Son that he feared this day would come, and even though he saw what he could in the future, it did not provide him with the answers he was looking for to prevent this from happening. The Son asks what could be done, and The Father smiles, telling The Son that for them to fix the future, they must relive the past before the darkness around them explodes into a blinding light.
