JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAcTzfzlkF
How have you been?
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLg0DGJT42
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9CPTz9XTR
Bruh.
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlknWqphCCk
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uPxjND4OV
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV2NzjTNCR

A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.

No. I heard he’s on vacation.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1TOW20aIe
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFtSsYVTwY
What?
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFih1NRoM8
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?
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Arho57fOz
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnsQ4m4Yzf
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KzWENm9Nf

JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcYmFTY6Bf
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITgqtq0y73
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNDZ6PWWH7
Really?
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMZ0rLGquq
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSDHpmXW6
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.
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnrNz0Crq6
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DXGDjVDjz
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.
JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOECavIleC

JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1CO3YkiiI
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4qUCsVJxV
That’s what I thought.
JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ810iUzxmJp
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfGNimElhg
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApFEjQih2N
Tee-Hee.

JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG44oAgwcDK
Really, like what?
WORKER44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwql6ydfuad
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.
JASON44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstj0rhxLia
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG72yOuGxux
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHEDwqrMLt
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEwenDSI9C
Uh, let’s see.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ208KpRCDj4
(reading)44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAolxkwWQs4
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaADYIP2Hnr

Galen and Mara. Aren’t those Abraham’s parents?

ADAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbSzSSvsyE
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPIaozaIqs
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GNYTTOcYG
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU4CZWkNU4
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TG8UvBbBQ

ABRAHAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8boz2kcgy
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGyUB0nsTt
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3e4soCY6N
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBUvgffTrc
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguiNfYQAVN
What did you say?
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG4z4Hemml
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixZKZ5SDIY
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHCf0vIps3
And what happened?
ABRAHAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBdSyj3wcN
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.
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UFBr1c8PC
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?
ABRAHAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf89yF1gvHx
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLLBfUKB9u
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBumdoFzxA
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK56QZVS4X
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.

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.

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.
