Chapter 6: The Biometric Key

With the hospital's auto-purge protocol accelerating, Elias must infiltrate Dr. Aris Vane’s executive office to secure a biometric keycard vital for accessing the protected systems. Disguised as maintenance staff amid the chaos of a livestream event, he navigates sterile, intimidating corridors and uncovers a disturbing shrine to Vane’s obsession with ‘perfection.’ When Vane unexpectedly returns early, Elias is forced into a claustrophobic hiding spot above, overhearing chilling details of the cover-up. Racing against time, Elias attempts to clone Vane’s heartbeat-keyed card, triggering a silent alarm that locks down the floor, trapping him and escalating the stakes.
