ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpz9dWLaB9
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGXKKeXHK7
Bruh.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vCl9qzkBK
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLBMm7VLgM
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqoCd4lbSy

Jason looks at Alexis.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRI2xznNjn

ADAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpNVSjrBqY
No. I heard he’s on vacation.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPFc3IuwP8
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP02COcV4HR
What?
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNIoJEKIrQ
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?
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvhnA9vr4H
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJwb3vqgqV
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

Jason sits down.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGmtvzYk2X

ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscbdChHQ9L
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuIFAvsYjY
Really?
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCdexA0nKy
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Ccmt8oCV
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.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjIIziJmw
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf98dtbt1U
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.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauisoqlzLU

JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpJrDmGEcI
About three years.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3QFy0nejs
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FUexvOGHh
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKdIlrxrXz
That’s what I thought.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwBaAoAwg6
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr5nDQllyK
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l7BpslYuN

JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46X8f1OWfZ
Really, like what?
WORKER146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd9E9eCDLm
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.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoF2NtSqBf
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmZWosMIxe
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.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSPuXKqENe

JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnjFgSqMUl
No way.
Jason and The Orphic fight. Jason throws punches at The Orphic. The Orphic blocks them all. Jason goes for a spinning kick.

So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?

Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYVzqmDqod
Uh yeah, I might’ve.

Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQubGGn2XD
What did you say?
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nk6hBHp3b
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvawinLARw7
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkRpvgdr9s
And what happened?
ABRAHAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn42IAFRiC
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.
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMkNoyMct8
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?
ABRAHAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jzztiE0pH
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rNnXpMYuK
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0QEbUNb11
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo8qg2F7BE

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.
ADAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGByfuvtLRO
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3PoEaHQms
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRj6cbmRnn
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.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeEmH5yJnK
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQZnrfnlsp
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.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag8EiIHlPJ
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY9zg37dDf
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9nQ63k70
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8i5BHvMNt
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt0ZK6rA5H
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.
