JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQtF3Tq1O8
How have you been?
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi9uS4Kb2p
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEKbyihRWS
Bruh.
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhenEMSRxFH
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBH08LJv6J
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8rCkNEtpL

But I like my smog.
A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrOMBqKrhe

ADAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAPpuNOFhX
Randomly?
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd58RJsC4X

No. I heard he’s on vacation.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWzEKNnrVW
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXxJHaTKM
What?
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rKeLaP6fM
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?
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUlJO4enJA
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiz8WBWWhD
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7pZhLJWVM

JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFpOZkH8oZ
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINjM1SVakX
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSGMkz4qCO
Really?
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBDRmtUL3s
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y8O9sOeTB
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.
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h3ayP14rD
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hHWBev36u
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.
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCheLAbNRIk

About three years.
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYIvUgepd5
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPReLnYzWLJ
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlySsXKcIZ
That’s what I thought.
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR82450aEKq
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHqNoC9FXH
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYCx3XpKtu
Tee-Hee.

JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVoewINJ3W
Really, like what?
WORKER65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppUuhHNIxn
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.
JASON65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmdfgZOTRf
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d9JHC6LC2
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gtujaFhRP
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSDisWCTyS
(reading)65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwVSJyMGGP
The search for the next generation of soldiers is near, in the light of the DeSantos cartel’s recent surge in attacks, we are ready to commence the next phase in our operation. Galen and Mara Walker have volunteered to be one of the first in line.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOXqt5Fq1T

ADAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlCcg9sFTh
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02KbkRAZRC
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa71pCxDh9C
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhb7APOx7s
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPxmDiw9Yp

ABRAHAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2XbZv6Gqd
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAqTieEA6D
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D2jisTC6N
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH9XVQ19Hz
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfjBm4ZjX4
What did you say?
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjvuW00hkP
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYlnbcOkJt
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63rEVLlQQr
And what happened?
ABRAHAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1zNfbbVhr
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.
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP74j2YdCpB
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?
ABRAHAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmum5Yv67GN
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvBm6oMFFN
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIzAhR1xg8
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFNiR0UJ4I
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.

It gets up and walks toward him. Jason’s vision clears. It’s Ellen. Jason sits up. He doesn’t have his mask on.

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.

The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.

I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.

What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.

I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.

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.
