JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZmrTGgGSb
How have you been?
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOatxhgPVO
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt8tEzDncD
Bruh.
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYecHYE7CT2
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.

Alexis lost her Jersey accent!

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

ADAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCekFeILv69
Randomly?
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE87YEZpkue

No. I heard he’s on vacation.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7n9MLAEYR
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktjPkXqP3W
What?
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3mWL0ye1p
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?
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tsokBtygi
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm3OsXDDU2

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5UEZ1Mcdy
Really?
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSz0BKwBRz
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx4jLUI1gb
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.
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqnW17YjRP
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcF1wfV7vu
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.
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEEFL1aJ4L

About three years.
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ngTt5TDR
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPuZFCZyr0
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwXAT7XKXj
That’s what I thought.
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaklShbq0RE
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp86GHm9KN
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOIOQaO6SV
Tee-Hee.

JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6M3eUDdaL
Really, like what?
WORKER64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhIe61laeC
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.
JASON64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARtopJydJp
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pquHd8jjT
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw9qTZhJIg
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmFmnC4VN1
(reading)64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxuV6VdPuW
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.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWzb5D6hD8

ADAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXyIauU5BB
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8c2QfLLMv
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkcYeY1FmC
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXRSplpni2
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyfws4urrZ

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs3ssxZsp4
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoGAwDvFuP
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6bI8pqLbB
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWshlqj7ft
What did you say?
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYBsAF8zRn
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gqneWae9Z
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yQNV5WIFp
And what happened?
ABRAHAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPN0qPEqhb
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.
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WK7u7wuVJ
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?
ABRAHAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw64nw1cma6
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVBxD9y0YR
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH1nYHA5tk
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShKXbRLrP
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.

ELLEN64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSEhvJ6zgX
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?

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.

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.
