JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1vZrO3kkz
How have you been?
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gSwqbEsfT
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltMlOSaRMq
Bruh.
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDN5TMmUbY
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPrA2vwwi9
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsrH3OlEt2

A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBV1iL1cRD

ADAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe0Gz7cTvu
Randomly?
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2GmMgJDSj

ADAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcfE9CjcDi
No. I heard he’s on vacation.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvuiILzCnL
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6wAWSNdZu
What?
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZA4q7D4vX
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?
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn6dw6pyZv
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVI53nJYOX
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlQJJ8ouVL
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE6v4Z2jUk
Really?
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1EE1fu5wn
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCNxOZnUbE
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.
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM2io5wbQr
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9CBzLH8v3
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.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGgl1447w6

Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGQd3HosiE
About three years.
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DAdX6mjx3
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0pe0eyjY6
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqCFTSt2y9
That’s what I thought.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC24gCaVr4
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1IFFLw02I
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTqdMtYzLb
Tee-Hee.

JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemzNXf9qeT
Really, like what?
WORKER31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BF7fTJulI
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.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoKx4dtJ3P
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFMVpcGK75
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksX6hBthQn
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

Uh, let’s see.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR9g4C6XzS
(reading)31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGLiOKbuTV
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.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DInRihQYk

ADAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB0QDF3188
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZklOIcHmq9
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK572ggdcOo
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6kz2Fl2cY
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOAFSMegUd

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5I4HixHGB
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxBN5WWOej
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME5QNMAI0H
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8RWjM1vzy
What did you say?
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQc6I6Fq2w
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtDzEWdS5g
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWTrZcULEi
And what happened?
ABRAHAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGDSiXP5LY
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.
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuf8TDw6vg
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?
ABRAHAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iBzLCzlwP
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7HwTc9c3a
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQmpYT6AEW
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDTj6mkxH8
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.

ELLEN31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGTw4gA2Tw
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.

Thank God you’re awake.

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.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRRhNR7iti
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.
JASON31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9qLng3NAA
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.
