JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm85ok9dnfC
How have you been?
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78GBnY7qHK
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn09iEn0Izx
Bruh.
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzA2qvmUOe
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.

Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7q1KqbFi

ADAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4w4m4dmsM
Randomly?

ADAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfhkXzQO8W
No. I heard he’s on vacation.256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYzJcMW2GQ
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiGyKMDKWB
What?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrcaaSdqWw
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?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzNilRvdnS
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKN1Lu5NcM

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6t9AH19j5
Really?
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcEuYrw72Q
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeIqkfjcug
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.
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLPBwB15Uz
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hOyaoTwls
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.

JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWnQVMzoiD
About three years.
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7CeEAGhPL
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWFmcVcWkw
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcGVHogfAE
That’s what I thought.
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMD3PhGsRN
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPbSq1KoBU
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlr9LO7T5N

JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDvOtKA9kN
Really, like what?
WORKER256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu9wJ9FSgS
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.
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzdqDYf4Kj
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NA5ITbZX4
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM

ADAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVdSwCzjhK
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABxB1ANjKe
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2OhIrOnhS
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeQU3DWxEJ
I don’t know.
Beat.

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhao0R4CLB
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa99RYn8ml
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX35hIPImJr
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWSabxkPZ
What did you say?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar2ypaAHd0
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QymxXYots
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmYcwZemK2
And what happened?
ABRAHAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4z3vCcPWa
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.
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVShm3gFbxn
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?
ABRAHAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuhIxPBZnF
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhlrd5XqtJ
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD5kMlVWHJ
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0s1pH3xNv
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.

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?

I am The Orphic. This city, this world, is mine!
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.
ADAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfblBRMQ5pH
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXEWuKFBWT
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSPjvkTxGd
I don’t know.
Not too far, Jason collapses. He touches his shoulder.
JASON
Ellen!
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.

Thank God you’re awake.

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.
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFaXHOCKYQ
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalPjkww4p4
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmTluoAaBB
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWrzz5iNKK
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4If1YCdgFJ
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.
