MOMENT OF TRUTH

To expose Shell's sins and understand the reason she was killed, Balot resolves to take a look at the memories of Shell she acquired. It has been a difficult road, but the end is in sight as the truth about the incident will finally be known. However, Boiled appears once more and a final battle to determine Balot's destiny commences!

Rune Balot has discovered the location of Shell’s erased memories – hidden inside the four $100 million casino chips at Eggnog Blue, the casino operated by Shell himself! Will Balot and Dr. Easter be able to turn two thousand dollars into $400 million to recover Shell’s memories and hold him accountable for murdering Balot? The casino showdown begins here!

Wounded in a tragic and bloody fight with Boiled, Balot is rescued and brought to Eden, a former research institution. In Eden, she finds peace… but all of that could come crashing down around her when an assassin invades the tranquil garden of her new home.

To get the four million-dollar-chips in which Shell’s missing memories are stored, Balot and company take on the casino at the blackjack table. But the dealer may have more tricks up his sleeve than any of them could have imagined, and suddenly the odds are stacked against them!

After Rune Balot was nearly murdered, an enigmatic casino manager gave her a new purpose in life - vengeance! Rebuilt as a cyborg with the ability to control electronics, she starts a crusade to cleanse her haunted past. But when the relentless Boiled wanders into her life, ruining and shredding all she cherishes, Balot's mental state and very well-being are threatened.
