Retrofit is a cinematic cutscene featured in the Rebellion of Realms saga of the Roach Chronicles, created by RoachTheIntelCollector.
The cutscene shows The Visitor breaking into the recently-captured Dark Order supply station in Russia, all with the goal of re-modifying the warhead and launching it into the sky.
Overview[]
Retrofit, unlike the other maps within the saga, is not directly playable, rather it is a rendered cutscene set between the events of Countdown and Fallen Empire. It also serves as a sort of prologue for the third movie of the Roach Chronicles titled Universal Convergence, which begins moments after the events of Fallen Empire.
Story[]
While the heroes traveled to Berlin, The Visitor soon began to set his master plan into motion. An hour following the capture of the Dark Order supply station and the departure of the heroes, The Visitor breached the facility, slaughtering through the defending rebellion soldiers. Eventually, The Visitor arrived at the launch control center, where a lone rebellion soldier was waiting. The soldier tells The Visitor that he would not allow him to succeed, saying he will guard this facility with his life. The Visitor laughs, saying that his life would soon be over before engaging the soldier in arm-to-arm combat.
Despite the soldier's best attempts to stop him, The Visitor soon clenched his fists, revealed his wrist-mounted blades. Horrified, the soldier attempts to get away from The Visitor, but The Visitor soon stabs him in the chest with both blades and raises him into the air. As the soldier screams in pain, The Visitor tells him that there is nothing that could prepare the universe for what happens next before killing the soldier by dropping him over the side of the railing. With no one to oppose him, The Visitor soon began work on modifying the warhead. Using the Unistone crystals found within the base, The Visitor created specialized thrusters in order to allow the warhead to piece through the Ethereal Divide, placing them around the warhead.
With his modifications completed, The Visitor soon hacked into the launch control terminal and began the launch protocol, setting the warhead to launch within three hours. Satisfied, The Visitor soon stole a rebellion vehicle and traveled to Berlin. Upon confronting Nictis and the four heroes, the countdown at the supply station finished, causing the warhead to launch from the base. The Unistone thrusters on the warhead soon activated, causing the warhead's speed to increase dramatically until it exploded in a massive blue blast, creating a monstrous fracture in the skies above Earth. With this, The Visitor begins to laugh as the heroes and Nictis stand against him in horror.
Trivia[]
- This level reveals that the rebellion forces present at the Dark Order supply station have all perished, and that The Visitor is responsible for the launch of the warhead.
