You know what I find weird.

ADAM46Please respect copyright.PENANAwmKx7hAjQ0
No. I heard he’s on vacation.46Please respect copyright.PENANAGAHN5IQDkz
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM46Please respect copyright.PENANADfSCnJ87W6
What?
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3PZUiO7hx
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?
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANA6C0WPnbgKX
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Here you go.
Jason sits down.
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAPEqFfYjokx
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANA2KKmMjDY3B
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANA3hoLCnIO91
Really?
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANAsBczpeQZsD
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAEju6jkPTNq
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.
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANAGZHkULpg1q
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAs7GXZGBU4I
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.
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAipgGgOsT5q
Hey. If you want to impress my sister with a car it better be a food truck.

JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAtF9sCf1JD7
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.

JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAt24SHRaKWT
Really, like what?
WORKER46Please respect copyright.PENANAa1RQHH7wgt
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.
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANA3YJZIBRCXc
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER46Please respect copyright.PENANAxWXekyUpGT
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANALcHbzC7v8v
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

ADAM46Please respect copyright.PENANAmROBk8mwtY
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAAHuCIfbuSS
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM46Please respect copyright.PENANAlxAY52qTKI
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANA1x78XfH3aO
I don’t know.

ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANA5gRzpcp2Xh
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM46Please respect copyright.PENANAAP1Zl8gQ9M
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAcoVMFf37Rf
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM46Please respect copyright.PENANA5FczHSAWoP
What did you say?
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAA5wRKT4UmF
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM46Please respect copyright.PENANAWPPJWrGJV0
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAgfTjUnUQwd
And what happened?
ABRAHAM46Please respect copyright.PENANA5B7zhfL1mE
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.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAuufP3Bn9c8
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?
ABRAHAM46Please respect copyright.PENANAlaJZa1TD43
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANARO4mFGRGLk
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM46Please respect copyright.PENANA3zlcRoUcBr
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAnoztKXEXCr
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM46Please respect copyright.PENANAgvbBWjVGEq
Let me know if you find anything else.

Alexis turns the page.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAeQOG2iR6n1
(reading)46Please respect copyright.PENANAAq6lNjafEx
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.
ALEXIS46Please respect copyright.PENANAEZj1P5aTjH

I don’t know.
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANAxViuoglIeU
Why are you telling me this?
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANASPZezsaKFt
Because I can’t hold this in anymore. I just... I feel guilty hiding this from Alexis because I’m basically lying to her face and I don’t know how she’ll react if I tell her. Now this guy is running around and I can’t seem to beat him so now I don’t know what to do!
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANAC6kpp7ZV08
Jason... I don’t know what’s happened the past three years you’ve been here in Deacon but... one of the things I admire you for is... your ability to not give up. You’re one of the most, if not the most, headstrong and determined people I know... Do you remember when you got beat up in high school by Colton Harper? Dad was going to sign you up for classes before Ritchie swooped in and do you remember how quickly you learned most of it?
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANATYgkJibIIi
Yeah.
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANAgx0vRuSiUt
There’s nothing you can’t do Jason. Once you put your mind to something you knock it out of the park. This guy, he may seem unbeatable but I know that you will find a way to beat him.

How long was I out for? What happened?
Ellen turns on a TV. Isabella Valdez is on the TV. Jason sits up.
ISABELLA (ON TV)46Please respect copyright.PENANABkwTzU1xUY
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.
ISABELLA (ON TV)46Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pl5I41M3J
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.
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANAvzJCqZQo9X
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAqF4RFwtsNA
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN46Please respect copyright.PENANAs7p8lvjtiU
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAEQDmZ7VMsS
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON46Please respect copyright.PENANAaOfXO2k1FU
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.
