Polaris is the ninth story mission of Control. It is preceded by Finnish Tango and followed by Take Control.

Overview

Mission start

Armed with Ahti's cassette player, Jesse returns to the Maze, intent on reaching Dimensional Research and the Slide Projector to put an end to the Hiss threat.

After passing through the Ashtray Maze

Jesse passes through the Ashtray Maze and reaches Dimensional Research.

After opening the protective window of the Hedron Resonance Lab

She discovers that the Bureau used the Slide Projector to enter another dimension, where they captured something they call "Hedron". The Projector has been taken elsewhere, but Jesse realizes that Hedron is actually Polaris, her internal guide, and that Polaris herself is the source powering the HRAs.

Mission end

Jesse enters the Hedron Containment Chamber to go to Polaris. In order to do so, Jesse is forced to remove the HRA from the chamber door. This allows the Hiss to enter. They flood in and kill Hedron. Without Polaris to protect her, Jesse's mind is vulnerable to the Hiss. She is corrupted.
