How have you been?
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9XFt1j2ZF
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpzKgc6epc
Bruh.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMiOWJ8hKk
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NhPeZkxO2
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW0WEsFdYD

ADAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinFOYWUsGv
No. I heard he’s on vacation.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQN0emOTHx
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbLWEXoIDc
What?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCe4wixWiS
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?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sNbnkZaIv
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhFGDyinT6

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi5kFbvIYt
Really?
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtlVroW10A
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgZ4mTetHh
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.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTZVOdxCKo
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH27FwwBJep
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.

JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1DAs6ofqg
About three years.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nap9sXNkV
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbX9hD8h5w
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP70F1wKDb7
That’s what I thought.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93jn37FBna
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcAMDgcQFU
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81qcAwLg8f

JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyAKSB1xTG
Really, like what?
WORKER207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur5llhahPj
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.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEEYdwTGrc
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c21Mumq3R
Yeah, it was crazy.

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

That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6519rhqxu
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jn0Jwvj8L
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QltrX43dl
I don’t know.

Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugkBYOdkRj
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtiK1p2EQW
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvpWsCiXdm
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6RLYzVYBV
What did you say?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1bJGqpOXT
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q5F1z2mSo
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkuNOMLLtv
And what happened?
ABRAHAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh2aHrUlJY
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.
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgPhkC3QgZ
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?
ABRAHAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWenB9N4PFt
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbyozbOg0x
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw5vAG6tyV
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvz9IYZ3no
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.

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.
ADAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7k28QT1D
Ricky got hit.
Alexis checks Ricky’s shoulder cap. There’s a gnarly gash.

Oh fuck.
ADAM207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHtR3cePjq
What the hell was that?
ALEXIS207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVWlZLmjGM
I don’t know.
Not too far, Jason collapses. He touches his shoulder.

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.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ6eNuwoMm
Thank God you’re awake.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZ2qFw7jl
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.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1KbEGfSlj
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgNOjVeCDM
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWry2PyWp0L
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6xJuna6HM
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Nl2z8mMA
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.
