It would seem now is the perfect time for rescuing Capitol soldiers but unfortunately things can never be that easy. Peacekeeper recruits have arrived just in time to drag everyone back albeit at the cost of the mountain facility and the Revival Mechanism. Rebels fight the peacekeepers back and ultimately claim the prize they came for, even if they lose the chance of rescue. Each side will only have a few moments to reunite before being torn apart again. There’s a weight to the air, one that’s broken by the second scientist. The rebels will still have to go into the Capitol, destroy the second portal, and fix this loop of time that’s been created. The Capitol will be heavily fortified and they may die.

The scientist is working to find a loophole in the system but they’re not sure if it will work without destabilizing the world. The theory is that Offworlders can be revived via the same universal coordinates as soon was, and because offworlders aren’t meant to be here in the first place, there’ll be no loop created in reviving them like there is for someone of Panem. But this is all just theory and the scientist urges people not to risk it, for it may cause even more destabilization. Though, if the rebels don’t win, it won’t matter. They’ll all be dead for good.

The first scientist is nowhere to be seen. When people inquire about it, some look to the portal, quiet. There’s no face projected in the sky for her, but it seems nevertheless that the games are not yet over.
