ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANAIdmbPlRqzw
But I like my smog.
A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.

You know what I find weird.
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAUxJcBhF1ax

ADAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAhZMIfj1W1k
No. I heard he’s on vacation.70Please respect copyright.PENANA9UyJF26W5y
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAHWzNq5sVXJ
What?
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANATJf5jHDTq3
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?
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAG7gi4r0YYO
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Here you go.
Jason sits down.
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAkyPJFPAfd0
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANACAYapMfAEP
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAsh8kTLMYlD
Really?
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANA4YidtoDUwN
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAplbeF7BKRL
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.
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANAhUh4FDLhfJ
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAxLw1JqZLnm
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.
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAIHZHAB8F8L

JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZImIJRnX5

Tee-Hee.

JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANArHndiU4WWD
Really, like what?
WORKER70Please respect copyright.PENANAG4LDrWD0kN
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.
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAXDxC2fzYwK
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER70Please respect copyright.PENANAvAazgcp15q
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAMoRfGInQyc
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM70Please respect copyright.PENANA70Nqfi7BEr
Uh, let’s see.70Please respect copyright.PENANAuDpLPnGtCT
(reading)70Please respect copyright.PENANAd6NXHzo4ec

ADAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAjWPSmzTd8I
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAMy6N8T9fGw
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAgfwpkBQ9vj
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAKD9BeOor5t
I don’t know.

ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANA4PrImMsGEd
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM70Please respect copyright.PENANABYkdLH6ska
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAYJeodw8ObW
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM70Please respect copyright.PENANA0kbi0NztDN
What did you say?
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAQUiWl2qbgd
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAseXJvivfsC
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANA1myko3cxjk
And what happened?
ABRAHAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAiRerSgxchL
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.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAmsjev4JxHR
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?
ABRAHAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAOcQ3MYWXfZ
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAJXnVzh5p9B
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM70Please respect copyright.PENANA64ejjbf89J
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAE73bESQ647
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM70Please respect copyright.PENANAzl7eRKA5S3

Alexis turns the page.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAytfJXsDEzp
(reading)70Please respect copyright.PENANAdHEkQp1CNB
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.
ALEXIS70Please respect copyright.PENANAtlocXi4FqJ
Dark matter, test subjects. What the hell was HelixGenetics up to?

I don’t know.
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANA6TghBvAzxA
Why are you telling me this?
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANATMz93eVkRP
Because I can’t hold this in anymore. I just... I feel guilty hiding this from Alexis because I’m basically lying to her face and I don’t know how she’ll react if I tell her. Now this guy is running around and I can’t seem to beat him so now I don’t know what to do!
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANAE2iAJnIxSx
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?
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAUpdzGrwszJ
Yeah.
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANASwF3hoG1Fn

It gets up and walks toward him. Jason’s vision clears. It’s Ellen. Jason sits up. He doesn’t have his mask on.
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANApSVyDTIvT2

How long was I out for? What happened?
Ellen turns on a TV. Isabella Valdez is on the TV. Jason sits up.
ISABELLA (ON TV)70Please respect copyright.PENANAUydZdMEhUx
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.
ISABELLA (ON TV)70Please respect copyright.PENANAb72aC7Jdb2
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.
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANAadO7wXQjF9
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAhxFAVkncZ1
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN70Please respect copyright.PENANAUAdBZ9iTX5
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANAIpekDHQLx6
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON70Please respect copyright.PENANABZI27Xhee1
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.
