You know what I find weird.

ADAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAv93yCWNmyc
No. I heard he’s on vacation.47Please respect copyright.PENANAs9BKdz6lqG
Alexis makes a face.
ADAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAVu8ZokqY31
What?
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAjbNbOPYkkd
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?

JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANA8vQoiI0ofg
So how are things in New York?

Better than from when you guys left.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAiGav5qXy4z
Really?
ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANApZ8od5uRA5
Yeah, all that stuff you did back then really had an impact. Do you guys miss it?
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANALU2et7tqDM
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.
ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANA13Y8jGRULv
What about you Alexis?
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAWcUlCZSD57
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.
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANATux5skMqis

JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANAJYbiNerUbs
No, I’m the older brother. I’m supposed to be bullying you.

JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANAJvDiF9VO9G
Really, like what?
WORKER47Please respect copyright.PENANAzEBjOUhpGq
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.
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANAoc0vT94wQ7
That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen to me.

INTERCUT ALEXIS AND ADAM
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAyEV7npbV2C
I think, it sounds similar to what’s on the file. What else is on it?

ADAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAMPwbWIjnhR
That’s it. There’s no update, at least not on here.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAGtzr2uUiVe
So what happened with the project, and why is it coming up all of a sudden?
ADAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAcZHitVWmwx
I don’t know. This is the first time I’m hearing about it. What do you think?
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAkgue9eCLjm
I don’t know.

ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAf9yRaYze4y
Have you heard about the energy blast that happened here a while back?
ABRAHAM47Please respect copyright.PENANA2ezpZPoioS
Uh yeah, I might’ve.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANA8rBIfE0Onr
So after a bit of off-the-cuff digging, something called The Genome Soldier Project came up.
Abraham stops walking.
ABRAHAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAMAJVDVguwM
What did you say?
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAk6zt88z4VN
Genome Soldier Project. You know what that is?
ABRAHAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAPtYCtB5LyR
Vaguely. It was a CIA led operation, my parents were one of the first ones to volunteer for it.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Ss7iyrA4
And what happened?
ABRAHAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAUh9fXwfJQZ
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.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7MqdCqIBz
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?
ABRAHAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAFN2hNvzquy
No. My parents said it involved gene therapy and nano machines.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAjPUFkNIhvN
So if this is The Genome Soldier Project, it’s a new version of it.
ABRAHAM47Please respect copyright.PENANAjUrJGM4lui
And you said Helix Genetics did this? Why?
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANArk9qK4PUnf
I don’t know yet. That’s what we’re still trying to figure out.
ABRAHAM47Please respect copyright.PENANA81wlrp6zyM

Tests are showing promising results, subject is displaying an impressive amount of strength and durability. Vitals seem stable so far but further monitoring is recommended.
Alexis turns the page.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAWMCnl30E3l
(reading)47Please respect copyright.PENANA4W6EwxwYex
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.
ALEXIS47Please respect copyright.PENANAojWKivoBD2
Dark matter, test subjects. What the hell was HelixGenetics up to?

I don’t know.
ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANAvHlwoHiL7q
Why are you telling me this?
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANABi6uiBJWXd
Because I can’t hold this in anymore. I just... I feel guilty hiding this from Alexis because I’m basically lying to her face and I don’t know how she’ll react if I tell her. Now this guy is running around and I can’t seem to beat him so now I don’t know what to do!
ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANAGBZVmr8Csl
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?
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANAvxIEYewFRV
Yeah.
ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANAufWHhImBjz
There’s nothing you can’t do Jason. Once you put your mind to something you knock it out of the park. This guy, he may seem unbeatable but I know that you will find a way to beat him.

ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANAXt6v9Rivsv

How long was I out for? What happened?
Ellen turns on a TV. Isabella Valdez is on the TV. Jason sits up.
ISABELLA (ON TV)47Please respect copyright.PENANAGWDbaoL7Di
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.
ISABELLA (ON TV)47Please respect copyright.PENANAD0w5tarBhZ
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.
ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6oxT9bLpF
The Raven, huh?
Jason sits up.
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANAvvdEqgGFvQ
I’ve never called myself that. I don’t know where The Orphic got that from.
ELLEN47Please respect copyright.PENANAq0FM7lailg
What happened out there, Jason? One second you’re fine, the next I hear you getting beat up and calling for help.
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANAQo6c3yGyv6
I lost again. I couldn’t beat him.
Jason stands up and walks.
JASON47Please respect copyright.PENANAWWtlmHJlPP
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.
