ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz3g9Ifr3Y
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipfyYuk3Wq
Bruh.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3lxc7cRij
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.

Alexis lost her Jersey accent!

ADAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRtqJpVhaH
No. I heard he’s on vacation.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKncov3Mdw6
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrse9glvgt
What?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXSgh3Bojo
Something isn’t adding up. Montoya wouldn’t just go on vacation without telling us, especially not in the middle of a cartel trying to take over the city.
ADAM
So what do you think happened?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoxC6Fmwju
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FkCiMLX0k
Really?
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG1aMOwi05
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqG8DVIY6W
Yeah, sometimes. But I prefer how quiet Deacon is compared to New York. I mean, until recently, that is. Gave me flashbacks to New York.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODjGHa1Ubd
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoac660XIk
It’s a mixed bag. I grew up there but a lot happened too. I actually didn’t want to leave New York, not after everything that happened so it’s nice to hear that it’s doing well.
A GT V8 Mustang pulls up next to them. A 20-year-old male is in the driver's seat. He looks at Ellen and revs the engine.

JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNNni3l4mb
About three years.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEQWfeGsfz
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTf03t59NB
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3acB9aqiC
That’s what I thought.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiyuYy7Lnk
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMa9KLqy0A
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?

Really, like what?
WORKER180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDzZwJMTY
The other day, I was walking down Main Street when a strong gust of wind just blew through. It was so random because it was so calm then all of a sudden, bam.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3iNAN0PYm
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj7fDoVjUB
Yeah, it was crazy.

Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b7pFektH1
What?
THE ORPHIC180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbWSjQ8uSX
This body, mangled, burned, by your hand.
The Orphic levitates.
THE ORPHIC180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JzX7q6fU9
Time to return the favor.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKB9Ouw9Q1
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

ADAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXBxTqhVyy
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC4AJpmBu1
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4PCL0nfyt
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIVzSlnnL
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ApzM0sHwI

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG90Bh1sviz
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoel9QO1kBT
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqJktecwa
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqZa61kSFx
What did you say?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCZ2wjByJB
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxa6c6uTBB
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAOK42oPED
And what happened?
ABRAHAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzXVnBDVAb
It worked, they were faster, stronger, more resilient. Super soldiers. But it got canceled because the syndicate found out about it, and the CIA didn’t want to risk the project getting into their hands. What exactly happened over there?
Beat.
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRjP7Xf2S4
We got the file from Helix Genetics. A witness that was there said, Javier Madrazo activated a sphere that caused the blast. Would you know anything about a sphere?
ABRAHAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWRQF7tTo4
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc7nxxUJTk
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwD3l0RW5L
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKH6DZ6w97
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.

A new subject has been brought forward. She put up a bit of a fight but was able to be apprehended. After administering nano-machines, the subject went crazy and escaped into the facility, causing a small surge in one of our accelerators. The resulting surge produced unidentified particles and dark matter.
On the file, “unidentified particles” is circled with an arrow pointed at it. “Tachyons!” is written at the base of the arrow.
Alexis puts the file down.

I am The Orphic. This city, this world, is mine!
He raises his hand and it glows red. He’s about to strike when more 212 operators fire at The Orphic. Jason gets away.
Reeves is hiding behind cover. He looks over to see The Orphic glow red and release a large blast. He goes back underneath the cover.
The cover is eviscerated, knocking Reeves down. When Reeves looks up The Orphic is gone.
Alexis runs to Adam and Ricky.

Are you guys okay?
Ricky is on the floor groveling in pain. He’s grabbing his shoulder cap.
ADAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3HNhpc1sA
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Ee9riDXe
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcm44sKskk
I don’t know.
Not too far, Jason collapses. He touches his shoulder.

Ellen!
Jason blacks out.

INT. JASON’S BUNKER - MORNING
Jason wakes up. His vision is blurry. He’s looking at the roof. He looks around and sees a blurry figure.
It gets up and walks toward him. Jason’s vision clears. It’s Ellen. Jason sits up. He doesn’t have his mask on.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zBdoKE9Ey
Thank God you’re awake.

How long was I out for? What happened?
Ellen turns on a TV. Isabella Valdez is on the TV. Jason sits up.

Tragedy be-felled Nicholas Reeves’ address to the city last night when a mysterious man who calls himself The Orphic, interrupted the speech killing at least seven Task Force 212 operators and fourteen people who were in attendance and injuring many more.
The TV shows the footage of The Orphic.

The motivation of The Orphic is unclear but what is clear is that he’s not here in peace. In other news the rumors of a vigilante operating in the shadows has been seemingly confirmed as showcased by The Orphic last night. The Raven, a victim in The Orphic’s attack. Who is this Raven and why is he doing this? But more importantly, is he still alive or not.
Ellen turns off the TV. She looks at Jason.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMN5uLVgy
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzPQ7otDur
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT1lsNXcJP
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv2b6WlpD0
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wWH6pGreU
All that training, practicing, learning, and I could barely touch him, I’m not good enough to beat The Orphic. But this city is in danger so I can’t stop, I won’t stop until he’s dead.
