ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0fgeTI7xo
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xUDxzBUAH
Bruh.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ6nhpGNwt
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrr7CPytje
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUimBK12LPc

Randomly?
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzvIMkTszj
Yeah.

ADAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IFmrI6mA5

Alexis makes a face.
ADAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwwLvp3ZJD
What?
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnetQ7JWyrv
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?
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2VW9JMato
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRee7vPgv1

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKTWn5d97c
Really?
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8PRRE0e2O
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oOqAsYE3p
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.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVd9EOdvfQ
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZBpzAdva4
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.

JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEPcVsATAa
About three years.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcNTsPllDF
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaBlllMTPO
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xeeIpo6Kz
That’s what I thought.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUfTpysOIG
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg9P3bDgAP
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?

JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY235oB7fb
Really, like what?
WORKER191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CTL7ZjXMo
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.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ufnzLLLCk
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgTMx0HCr0
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.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PLU5kULuZ

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

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM

That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.

So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOlq97bLwq
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrCrVnxxUj
I don’t know.

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?

Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmEJHP2Wny
Uh yeah, I might’ve.

So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LX64S9fFl
What did you say?
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ROkkEmx5Y
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOxuY5v7ld
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicjPBqbBO7
And what happened?
ABRAHAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9wakn1D69
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.
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcN3w6GB3J
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?
ABRAHAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC7CjDWytb
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohJmfGJDR9
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvBIG7xPH6
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbwWw4A4tm
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.

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.
ADAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoAFBP35LV
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2qve3LuzC
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrc2JOFwKE
I don’t know.
Not too far, Jason collapses. He touches his shoulder.

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.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y3MpGkYRE
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ4g14ptFi
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.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCoWkYW0Mw
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkvM0xxoFz
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHhlH8H4hd
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gnBqTywzL
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9xMIKx0hl
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.
