## Setting Role
Parasite Dolls contributes Branch-style noir investigation, integrated Boomers, terrorism, synthetic partners, public fear, induced rogue behaviour, undercover trauma and institutional cover-ups.
## Late 2034 Branch Case
The first major Branch-era case involves anti-rogue drugs, illegal transmissions and criminal exchange.
## Quest 11 Relationship
Quest 11 A Voice That Wasn't Hers is a Neon Requiem campaign-integrated precursor inspired by this material. It is not the literal later Branch case.
## 2035 Branch Case
A later case involves Eve, murders involving Boomer sex workers and the Crusher / Parasite Boomer investigation.
## 2040 Material
The Sorime and Branch-collapse endgame belongs to 2040 and is reserved for post-core expansion or an explicit multi-year time skip.
## Recurring Themes
Synthetic partners, Boomer personhood, prejudice, criminal exploitation, induced violence, noir investigation and the possibility of human-Boomer coexistence are central.
## Campaign Divergence
Caine, Chieko, Kenji Sorime and other connected characters must follow their actual Neon Requiem states. Never repeat, resurrect or overwrite an earlier campaign outcome merely to recreate a Parasite Dolls episode.
