JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtBZwjBvcX
How have you been?
ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmyGxNLO6S
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsSrum30Bw
Bruh.
ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAfySI3QeF
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWTku3sm2Q
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv50B7rjnb

A loud BANG is heard. The car leans down on the front left side. It makes a scraping sound. It comes to a halt.
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBo3RisNJx

ADAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSxuGhsYKV
Randomly?
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdt9u5S0ka

ADAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj5ja4M5hA
No. I heard he’s on vacation.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkqZ3jpQGF
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeXihxIPhK
What?
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR2v15bpiL
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?
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZruYAVoerJ
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroHtOGScGz
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NsBEImDG8

ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxSgjoA4JD
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbtsAEKO6U
Really?
ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pP0w0pyUc
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoMBCNNSJQ
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.
ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOIiHpCNdF
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oq2Ph0SlA
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.
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt5DFpbMhG
Hey. If you want to impress my sister with a car it better be a food truck.

Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?

ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef2GT1F7gQ
That’s what I thought.
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN2Ao1u1Qy
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgNCB9NNS5
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Atyu8oPI
Tee-Hee.

JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fTm0M6GhY
Really, like what?
WORKER53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcipArtHaXF
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.
JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XLCgBrmmD
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIejuBUL67
Yeah, it was crazy.

JASON53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQFQ4UlGfN

THE ORPHIC53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8oawQwVGO
Don’t tell me you have forgotten because I haven’t forgotten you! I have been searching for you for a long, long time.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmDbF4Sfep
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kWBUHIVkz
Uh, let’s see.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9iAJvp50S
(reading)53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVYXoOLFI
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj3eDDg0b7

ADAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3oqpg0RWG
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZksS5ibne
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShIlHIL7wT
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy5Rz5alIw
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgZkgqX6Ek

ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMr8Lh2DN
Hey, rude.

ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrrNKjFNfG
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaA8Q9hIAg
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsneRrHoH98
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaOrpv1r4Z
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSNNO0IenA
What did you say?
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwLLObiT2
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNHNHDmAG
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYNkZR45Km
And what happened?
ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HPuR4nhJl
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.
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8SvJhrxHC
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?
ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dqqeGJdrl
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qIdVjloPd
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KHQwTZo3i
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1706wtglV
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsenui0ZRZx

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.

ELLEN53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzKXGVd2gQ
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?

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.

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.

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.
