JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJsyzLROIr
How have you been?
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiitZ7eplyn
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4njNJGhCW
Bruh.
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuukWWrteUl
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.

Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSAtUM8HsT

A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI5mpUuAbQ

ADAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzednd26xJ
Randomly?

ADAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnueg4lYXP9
No. I heard he’s on vacation.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBfdFxqicy
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYWOCK0ZRV
What?
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nNqJJDmG
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?
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Ww1PLkst
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Ellen.
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuttVQ7UAhx

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo0xtSUV50
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ouYLGu5f

JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OjASXWJjW

ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ9ulDTioE
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUyI2HbKvg
Really?
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jV6ZRl97n
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOEAu1jn1U
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.
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg13gMbw0Vw
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59SKY61d5E
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.
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTQLQZXMDa

Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxMOSgvsAk
About three years.

JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOc0eR5Up
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFbORVdmau
That’s what I thought.
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWbiae3P63
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eVRGJQ0uP
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucdIRzmKcs
Tee-Hee.

JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky38k6IUgT
Really, like what?
WORKER42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAS9Sw2EVF
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.
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjVbuRiug4
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EUyUKEi71
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCS0jlwpfX
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMseozp8oz
Uh, let’s see.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTIe254l9E
(reading)42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8EwyA0ViQ
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.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwUZ4Ghjam

ADAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1C8bsHcpR
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzQIveb3ae
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv8u1yyij5
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7UyBO8kl9
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfB8yz2Bzn

ABRAHAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZanVsJVdcG
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1wWUlprNK
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk8BuAij7f
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMcfXDVP2h
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8tcP5rDt9
What did you say?
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSVlYQwFCO
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuijEukrxZ
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM74xwgH25
And what happened?
ABRAHAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFY1Ey2Oh8
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.
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AmmB8uZT4
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?
ABRAHAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sLUGWyjxK
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIAFYP3xmA
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsx29uDktY
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKMfEg2IA
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.

The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT4yuwB5uJ
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.
JASON42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSzD7kYZIr
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.
