JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9psADtemu
How have you been?
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xR6jUDqtn
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1qrgu7VEx
Bruh.
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgxnydfivf
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYNlgKwTO8
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6dkdSpnQk

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.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPk6nF7k2E

ADAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxnNXHdqm4
Randomly?
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlpWkE0jad
Yeah.

ADAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbIIw0G04p
No. I heard he’s on vacation.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DXzDLsdPf
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ItfXRAFck
What?
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNigMB1ZQh
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?
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GpTKGl1Ub
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcQ4aeO9an
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwMX3MdK4S

JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftMoWfAAox
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n80IsSc0E
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazJ7Yw8Sa9
Really?
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGeUTUhXRw
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEEQtlmrKp
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.
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSgBOVL3r0
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36XefN8Cj1
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.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy0cumfnSG

Bitch! I was waiting for that. How long were you waiting to do that?
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWtQH6yrww
About three years.

Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRkaPSYqy6
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwCD7MlIx7
That’s what I thought.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlseCIjdvmp
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiiW5aItzc
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0eK5MK9Zo
Tee-Hee.

JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH5RGTJ9oJ
Really, like what?
WORKER97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Unj0i8TqL
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.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Yc5fPHoa
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx8Diyx9Ce
Yeah, it was crazy.

Old wounds die hard. Jason.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtWLzcVyfX

The Orphic starts walking toward Jason.
THE ORPHIC97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSw1a4DL2N

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLozoqNCoqq
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7h5avmHch
Uh, let’s see.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56ch59l9O2
(reading)97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJS065NbHd
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.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGhjr2RnIP

ADAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L10ktwHEL
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREsPzPAIqZ
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzEdpQFBHY
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7HQsckrL5
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp9sJQKLdD
I think I’m going to have to make a call.

ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmG6ThXhK9
Hey, rude.

ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrMq2PvGqP
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNlin74BBx
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE2H72W93P
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvJRjiVHzW
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCJfHCVUlG
What did you say?
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMInbVyxPN
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfljZxDbkrs
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGCUrxXqnW
And what happened?
ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi8xrAfRqO
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.
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhfBh8JrBB
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?
ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYL8Hz1o7X
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6wDnR66BT
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW87mmojHMs
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDWplIUpGU
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWPo8S9dWl

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.

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.

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.
JASON97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N62iCJT3w
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.
