Wait. Say that again.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qi0H5VPpV
How have you been?
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwNRq9CrGg
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfEaF0jZGm
Bruh.
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj6XeEdqJh
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rz4nlu8Xs
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBioY6UsmA

ADAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnzKvGWY2t
Randomly?
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfmuAEnVGQ

No. I heard he’s on vacation.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpBrFgU7ap
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2s8SYb9wa
What?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7SahST1X2
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?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr13NPV8Ch
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDUnY4jlwT
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc3Zji1e2u
So how are things in New York?
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnWGOHbRXW
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcScxxQGZuO
Really?
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFdwWWfe9Y
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3oPy0z4gD
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.
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvKhnK9qsH
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk60HdbNof
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.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9iCyr21m7

About three years.
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUYxy0uqjY
Wow. Well, they do say elephants never forget so.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0uKqEVUS5
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNGQAjCJBK
That’s what I thought.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEkErsj9CN
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpD7pBqjWI
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERzRMUcNaS
Tee-Hee.

JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrRjokrXnL
Really, like what?
WORKER17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi9odXCtct
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.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukbMsUgU1s
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSgzyDDwYe
Yeah, it was crazy.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKttHneCfw
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmYTVFkCPr
Uh, let’s see.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRXVgSJTiG
(reading)17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTyhFmjC3F
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnscCwrBtzI

Galen and Mara. Aren’t those Abraham’s parents?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lkFfFTeaW
Yeah. What else does it say?
ADAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMztd61pwz
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDankMNiNT9
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDf6YIRGGD
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpLvwzALhH
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr5zARMbfC

ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWkmm4qcHE
Hey, rude.

ABRAHAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTGU57DzW8
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHyZlFGhdk
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uqZgdSNu8
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoAvthnYW3
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZtQIJkHQ3
What did you say?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUICmcE1TXN
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6XpzrmRWr
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9o6NsmMQ5
And what happened?
ABRAHAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dp5B24dXo
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.
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIBOZPs4DO
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?
ABRAHAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RBTZAwvQX
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtHCHXjJnz
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq8dbE0j2e
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54qFkJRaHV
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.

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.
JASON17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLKAxynzpK
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.
