JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQWqunRhjX
How’ve you been?
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNzUuRWic8
Wait. Say that again.
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRPP8EfNJj
How have you been?
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom0gpdQAVU
The fuck happened to your accent?
Alexis snickers.
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7FZJ44Lc0
Bruh.
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8scjDBtveK
You leave New York for three years and you go and lose the accent.
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PHGbakMSN
Alexis lost her Jersey accent!
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8pLmQInfx

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.
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZzcxQG2A4

ADAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58hJkWKEwz
Randomly?
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejrkcA1nZf

ADAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglBDnJPpxa
No. I heard he’s on vacation.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel0Ballry2
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHZWX5vbtZ
What?
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wBZbbEFg7
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?
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRGbmNHnHF
I don’t know, but we need to find out.

Well, I guess we’re taking my car now. Where are you staying Ellen?
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeUg2x0nLR
With my mom. I don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night hearing weird noises coming from-

JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhjtLyPZdn

JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrn5krwQfV

ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRItt8YY9MB
Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBooIiFKfLm
Really?
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40PhZ2wm5Q
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMbZJHXd8i
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.
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dV84Ks76g
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDuIIAxeEZ
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.
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlwbFw4AT4
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?
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWeKrVzzZk
About three years.

JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQAtUgd9lu
What the- I- Uh- You- Fuck you.
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOSHOgCZSp
That’s what I thought.
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDWgxu0aN
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.
ELLEN56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpspgKPT4Zx
Those childhood years are backfiring on you now, aren't they?
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtHhMa3RJH
Tee-Hee.

JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo30r7XLuv
Really, like what?
WORKER56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJ5M6EXAh
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.
JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSx8Mwv7lE
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.
WORKER56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEE6bYQavs
Yeah, it was crazy.

JASON56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JtEU39aPU

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNagm1aCAA5
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?
ADAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFLP2ZFSTa
Uh, let’s see.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy2iw9gyXY
(reading)56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo8mRrKtKB
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.56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZkvNokWe3

ADAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHSsOUvxf
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsrw2t7z0R
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJqFrOiWM
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn66RfNYFN
I don’t know.
Beat.
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlQHxtnZJz

ABRAHAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRvcuRaxi1
Don’t act like you haven’t said worse. Seriously though, what’s up?
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNki7IeOvS
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FCQYRlO7z
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKI8ht4FIE
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIiwllNTgQ
What did you say?
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrARshXMVK6
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEObYfnyfS
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ighVqa4Ig
And what happened?
ABRAHAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd39P3aaWM
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.
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3np8mEufSB
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?
ABRAHAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmcJauOMUB
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcVZHXGp0h
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFfSmlsYjX
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYzjioyEm8
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.

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.
