Jacob- Let’s go
(Jacob then jumps into the sky towards the explosion)
Natalie- *cheering* WOOOOOOO
Sara- WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH
(When they get near the site there's a giant crater in the middle of it. They land with a large thud as Sara takes a moment to keep her lunch from returning)
Sara- Please…warn me next time…jackass
Jacob- Sure
(Natalie goes off first towards the larger crater and spot something)
Natalie- *smiling* Yo, check it!
(Natalie points at a figure walking up to them)
/////////////The Enterprise\\\\\\\\\\\\\
(The figure is revealed to be a barefoot woman of light brown skin and long white hair wearing a strapless dress)
Natalie- *in head* Hif shay did thus then shay must bay purdy strong, raht? Wayul thayure's naw better way tuh find out! (If she did this then she must be pretty strong, right? Well there's no better way to find out!)
(Natalie then dashes towards the lady charging up an attack as the lady doesn’t seem to be moving. That is until she starts to slowly raise her hand, seeing this, Jacob immediately grabs Natalie and pulls her back as the lady throws a devastating strike towards them cutting through the air and blasting Jacob away)
Natalie- WUT THA FUCK!
Sara- What should we do?
Natalie- *getting up* I don’t know, maybe kill her?
Sara- DID YOU NOT SEE WHAT SHE JUST DID!?
?- Who’re you?
(Both Sara and Natalie are a little surprised she can speak)
?- Your scent is foreign to me; are you here to bring me back?
Sara- What is she talking about?
Natalie- Fuck if ah know *charging up* BALL LIGHTNING
(Natalie throws her attack at the lady who just takes it without much effect)
Natalie/Sara- …shit-
(The lady speeds towards Natalie and does a stabbing motion with her hand and as she's about to strike an object comes from the sky landing in between them; its Jacob’s scythe)
Jacob- Whew, damn, you're strong if I wasn’t here you would have chopped dumb-dumb here in half *takes off his suit jacket*
Natalie- Hey!
Jacob- So I’m gonna have to bring you in *crack knuckles*
(The lady starts to mutter something under her breath)
?- …no…no…no…no, no, no, no, no, no, NO, I will not go back, I will die before I go back, I WILL KILL YOU BEFORE I GO BACK *reveals her slit pupils and sharp teeth*
(The lady lunges a Jacob as he pushes Natalie and Sara to the side and blocks the punch from the lady which causes massive shockwave to ring out)
Jacob- Let’s elevate the situation
(Jacob then grabs her arm and throws her into the sky jumping after her)
Jacob- Nevermind
(He then slams her down to the ground creating another crater in the soil and causing a mini earthquake)
?- Ugh…
(The lady then sees Jacob land and lunges at him with a flurry of strikes which Jacob parries and blocks with little effort, though the hits progressively destroy the sleeves of his button up shirt. Jacob notices she’s unscathed as the lady is, flipping around and using every part of her body and even claws on her hands to try and kill Jacob as he is merely blocking and evading. She even throws dirt in his eyes which he dodges and then tries to leg sweep which gets stopped immediately)
Jacob- *in head* Let's test something
(Jacob then proceeds to grab her arm and break it which causes the bones to poke through the skin. The lady screams out in pain as he lets go of her. She stands in pain for a bit before snapping the appendage back in place with the skin healing over it)
Jacob- So you can regenerate
?- What do you care, scum
(The lady then leaps toward Jacob who uses his scythe to bind her body in place)
Jacob- It means you might have a shittier time with docs than most, SARA, NATALIE?
(Both of them come out of the rouble not looking too worse for wear Sara with a few cuts and bruises and Natalie with some as well that seem to be healing in real time with electricity)
Jacob- Didn’t know you could also regenerate Natalie?
Natalie- Oh thus? *gestures to the healing cuts on her arms* Yeah it’s gist sumpn mah body duz on its own s’cool tuh look at (Yeah it’s just something my body does on its own its cool to look at)
Sara- So what about her?
(They look at the lady struggling in the binds of Jacob’s scythe)
Jacob- I’ve seen all I needed to see let’s take her back to The Enterprise and let Séphora or Akoni deal with her
Natalie- Sounds lahk uh plan tuh me (Sounds like a plan to me!) *thumbs up*
(Jacob takes out his phone and calls Séphora)
Jacob- Yo, I caught a new one for you, I’m bringing her in *beep*
(He then calls Nora)
Jacob- Hey, I’m bringing in the new Zer0, you might need some reinforcement on those restraints, I’d say she’s about as strong as Gennady
(This strikes a cord with Sara)
Sara- Strong as that monster!? *thinks about Gennady’s hulking form*
(Natalie walks up to the lady and stares her in the eye, smiling)
Natalie- Ah can’t wait tuh havuh rematch with you (I can’t wait to have a rematch with you)
(The lady then snaps her teeth at Natalie like a shark)
Jacob- I don’t think that's a good idea Natalie, based on what I’ve seen from you you’re not even on Yuina’s level so I know your not leaving a scratch on little-miss-rabid over here *walks up to her* That reminds me, what's your name?
(The lady just stays quiet and sneers at him)
Jacob- Pity
(Jacob then grabs the scythe and hoists the lady up like a handbag)
Jacob- Let’s go
(Cut over to the train ride as Jacob’s back asleep, Sara is also napping and Natalie is running up and down the train cars with other Enterprise looking at her weirdly and the lady is just sitting in the chair restrained by Jacob’s scythe)
(Cut over to The Enterprise where Jacob and co head over to Sector 4 and meet with Séphora)
Séphora- Hey guys, Natalie congrats on your’re new record by the way
Natalie- Mighty thanks
Séphora- So *looking over to the lady with a grin* is this who you were talking about? *points to the lady*
Jacob- Yeah
Séphora- *small/quick claps* Alright let’s take a look
(Séphora begins to inspect and measure the lady and asks another researcher document the measurements she takes)
Séphora- I’m assuming you had to fight her?
Jacob- *on his phone* Mhm
Séphora- How tough was she?
Jacob- Not very, I’d say she’s at about Gennady’s strength level
(Séphora is intrigued by this statement)
Séphora- Ok Little-miss-powerhouse
(Séphora documents a few more things down)
Séphora- What’s with the dress?
Jacob- Fuck if I know
Séphora- Fair enough, alright, lay her over there and administer some sedatives; make sure to restrain her
(Jacob and some other researchers do just that as the lady struggles in his grasp trying to break free of his scythe. They all wait for a bit and keep having to administer higher doses of sedatives in her body until eventually she falls asleep. Séphora then comes close with some surgical instruments and notices she’s having a harder time cutting through than with other specimens)
Séphora- Hey Jacob would you mind helping me out here, I need you to open a fissure on her arm
Jacob- Alright
(Jacob walks up towards the woman and then uses his finger to cut her arm open which leads her blood to flow out into a petri dish. Séphora notices how the blood seems to be rotting in real time)
Séphora- *in head* Just like the male specimen
(Séphora then looks back at the incision that Jacob made and sees that it has healed making her grin a little bit)
Séphora- Hey Jacob, how good would you say her regeneration is?
Jacob- I was able to break her arm and she healed it almost immediately
Séphora- Anything to say that she would be able to grow back a limb?

Jacob- I don’t know
(Séphora thinks for a bit)
Séphora- Bring a container of liquid nitrogen and cut off a chunk of skin from her
(After administering a few more sedatives, Jacob then cuts out a piece of of her skin and immediately places it in the aforementioned dry ice)
Séphora- Not sure how long this piece will last, take a few more samples
(Jacob does just that taking off a few more tissue samples and nails)
Séphora- Ok, I’m gonna run some tests, thanks for the specimen, you can take her from here
Jacob- Aight, let's go guys
Natalie- *mock salute* Aye Aye Capn
(The group make their way down to Sector 7, on the way the lady is slowly waking up and make it to the new cell that Nora had prepped for her)
Jacob- Alright let’s get you hooked up to here
(Jacob then puts her in the binds of the room while putting his scythe away)
Jacob- So what's your name again?
?- *drowsy*
Jacob- Good to know
(He gets up and leaves the cell)
Sara- I almost feel bad for her
Jacob- Why?
Sara- The way she sounded when we met her, I’ve heard that cry too many times
(Jacob looks at her)
Jacob- Well then it shouldn’t bother you that much, let's go
(Sara looks back at the cell and just laments leaving with Jacob and Natalie)
(The scene cuts to an interrogation room with 2 Green Tie Associates on either side of a Yellow Tie handcuffed to the table. After a bit of time Alicia walks into the room and takes seat on the other side of the table)
Alicia- Who am I speaking with today?
(The Yellow Tie doesn’t speak so he’s hit on the side of the head which he gives no reaction to, just a bruised and swayed head)
Alicia- Not a talker I see, who’s his assigned Associate?
G/T- Keon Bruno
(Alicia then opens her tablet and looks up the people on his squad she then compares the picture and the person in front of her)
Alicia- So, Ale Lorenzo, what made you want to kill one of your fellow associates?
(Ale says nothing as he just look at her with a stale glare)
Alicia- Well before we proceed do you have any last words?
(Ale says nothing)
Alicia- Alright, take him down to Sector 7, I have to make a call
(The Green Ties then pick Ale up and haul him out of the room with Alicia following from behind)
Alicia- Ms. Rayleigh, I looked into that matter and I must ask which Zer0 should we test on him?
Nora- Hmm…Try O-303, we haven’t tested that one in a while and I’m sure Akoni and Séphora would love to see what will happen this time
Alicia- Yes ma’am
(Nora hangs up the phone. Alicia then calls for Séphora and Akoni as she makes her way down to Sector 7. After a bit of time, Alicia is down at the cell of O-303 along with Séphora, Akoni and a Blue Tie Associate holding Ale along with a body bag)
Alicia- Thank you both for coming
Séphora- No problem Alicia
Akoni- Mi hav nuh qualms a bi dung yah now mek wi si wah O-303 hav inna store fah wi (I’ve no qualms being down here, now let’s see what O-303 has in store for us)
(They open the cell and throw Ale in there with a spherical shaped object floating in the air. Ale just stands next to the door looking at it as the sphere pours a viscous black liquid from it making its way over to Ale)
Akoni- Yah eh com (Here it comes)
(Ale backs up closer to the door not wanting it to get closer to him and, in the blink of an eye, it leaps onto him and crawls its way to his mouth, causing gags and forced vomit to emit from his mouth as he is brought to the floor. His body begins to break in different directions causing him to scream in agony, with the pain eventually making him pass out. He immediately wakes up and finds that he has been taken into a subspace within his mind. Ale gets up and looks around, confused as to where he is and what he’s doing there)
?- ☟︎♏︎●︎●︎□︎ ♍︎□︎❍︎◻︎♋︎■︎♓︎□︎■︎…It’s nice to meet you
(A face forms out of the space around him Ale is surprised by it and is more surprised that he can actually understand it)
Ale- Who are you?
?- You can call me Revenant and I’m taking this body as mine
Ale- I’d rather you not
Revenant- I’m not asking
Ale- And I’m not giving
(There’s a brief silence resonating between them in the space as the Revenant looks at Ale with sifting eyes and Ale looks with indifference)
Revenant- What do you want?
Ale- What?
Revenant- *taking form and sitting* You’ve interested me so I’d like to know more about you, but I’d like to know what it is you want most first
Ale- What I want first…is to get out of here
(The Revenant stares at him for a bit)
Revenant- Ok it should give us enough time to talk *snaps fingers*
(On the outside Ale’s lifeless body is on the floor looking contorted and mangled)
Akoni- *disappointed* Luk like eh ova areddi *gestures over to the Blue Tie* help wi wid dis (Looks like it’s over already, help us with this)
(They pick up Ale’s body and load it into the body bag)
Séphora- Looks like another bust and I had my hopes u-
(The body bag violently rips open and Ale’s body comes out with a mask over his face ripping everything around him, cutting Akoni and Séphora int he process with his elongated limbs. The corpse looks around and flips over the railing and launches itself to the top of the Containment sector and speeds out the entrance way. Akoni sighs and presses a button on his watch that activates an alarm)
Akoni- Yu criss Séphora?(You good Séphora?)
Séphora- Ah, I’m alright but it looks like we finally got a unique specimen
Akoni- Mek wi hope wi git 'im bac fresh (Let’s hope we get him back fresh)
(Cut over to Jacob and co as they make their way through the lobby)
Natalie- So, whayer tuh neckst? (So, where to next?)
Jacob- Right now I just need to relax and-
(The alarm goes off as they all turn around and notice a high speed object coming towards them from behind which speeds past them out the main door)
Sara- What was that?
Intercom- WARNING! WARNING! CONTAINMENT BREACH IN SECTOR 7, ALL PERSONNEL UNDER PURPLE TIE CLEARANCE MUST VACATE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY!
(Jacob immediately runs after the unknown object keeping a brisk pace)
Sara- So what do we do now?
Natalie- *smiling* Ah’m gunna faller dem (I’m gonna follow them) *charges up*
Sara- Just don’t they’re probably long gone by now
Natalie- Hoo cares, Ah’m shore Ah can ketch up *dashes off* (Who cares, I’m sure I can catch up)
(Natale beams down the lobby but before she makes it to the dorr a large hand grabs her and halts her in her tracks)
Gennady- I’ve secured the containment breach everyone, we are safe
Natalie- Hey! Whut thuh- Let go uh may! Struggles in his grip (Hey! What the- Let go of me!)
Sara- Unm, Gennady the breach already left *points at Natalie* she’s apart of our squad
(Gennady then looks at Natalie and sees her poutign face)
Gennady- My apologies, Miss…
Natalie- Natalie
Gennady- Ms. Natalie *holds out his hand for a handshake which Natalie reciprocates* it’s good to meet you *looks at her outfit* that is a very peculiar work outfit?
Sara- It’s cause she’s a Zer0 so I guess she doesn’t get a uniform
Gennady- My, my what a new development we have here I’ve never heard of Zer0’s being used as teammates, but then again, that’s kind of what I am aren’t I, haha
Sara- You could say that
Gennady- So where is Young Jacob?
Sara- He went after the breach from earlier
Gennady- Oh well if he’s on the case it’s as good as caught
(Sara looks at Gennady’s group mainly looking at Imran’s prosthetic arm)
Boddy- Hey Sara, haven’t seen you in a while
Sara- Haven’t either, how have your guys been?
Imran- Working, that’s about it
Sara- I hear that
Avrora- So what can she do? *points at Natalie*
Sara- She can-
Natalie- Ah can do thais *electrifies her hands making a bridge of lightning with them*
Ragna- Badass
Sara- Where were you guys headed to?
Gennady- Just the training grounds to sharpen our combat senses would you like to join
Sara- I don't kno-
(Natalie aggressively shoves Sara out of the way)
Ragna- *whisper* Damn
Natalie- YES YES YES PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU!
Gennady- Alright let’s go *waves his hand*
(Natalie practically skips her way over to the group with Sara getting up from the side)
Sara- Could of said excuse me next time bitch *follows along with them*
(Cut over to Jacob who is till chasing the Zer0)
Jacob- Where could it be going? We’ve been running for like 5, maybe 7, minutes now
(Inside of Ale’s mind a conversation is being had between him and the Revenant)
Ale- My life has a cacophony of shitty moments and many near-death experiences, I’ve killed many, tortured some and trafficked others, but I share no guilt for them so I continued until I could feel it but it never came, sadness is an unknown to me just like many other emotions, so I don’t know
(The Revenant just looks at him with an unreadable stare)
Revenant- So what are you?
(Ale looks at himself and thinks for a bit)
Ale- A deadman walking
(The Revenant is surprised at first then begins laughing loudly at his statement)
Revenant- After all that you come to that ironic conclusion, what are you called again?
Ale- Ale
Revenant- Well Ale you’ve intrigued me so I’m gonna live in your body for the foreseeable future
Ale- Why?
(The Revenant then walks up to him and grabs his face)
Revenant- Because I wanna see if this corpse will ever come to life
(The Revenant then slinks his way into Ale’s left eye causing him to wake up and reveal that he’s sitting cross legged at the edge of a cliff on a coast. The wind washes over him and the waves make a resonant sound)
Ale- Hey
(Jacob is revealed to be standing behind him)
Ale- I guess this is the part where you take me in?
(There’s a brief silence)
Jacob- Nah, I’m just here to sit with you
(Jacob walks over to the edge and sit beside Ale)
Ale- What for?
Jacob- The view is nice
Ale- Sure is
(They sit there admiring the scenery as the sounds of wind, waves and seagulls take over; both of them taking in the sight)
Jacob- So what made ya go all road runner on us, other than the obvious
Ale- This thing *points to his left eye* made me do it, don’t know why, but now it lives inside my body
Jacob- Reminds me of David, so how was it?
Ale- What?
Jacob- Your first bonding, I hear it's different for everybody, so I wanna know what yours was like
Ale- Painful…extremely painful
Jacob- One of those, you feel any better
Ale- Yeah guess it fixed up my body while we were talking
Jacob- You spoke to it?
Ale- Yeah
Jacob- Gotcha, gotcha
(They sit in silence for a little more time and just watch the waves moving back and forth)
Ale- Alright, let’s go back
Jacob- Really? Don’t wanna stay and watch it a little longer
Ale- You don’t seem to take your job seriously
Jacob- *gets up* When you’ve seen all the shit I do it pays to not take everything seriously

The Enterprise
The Enterprise
O-303
Object/Organism/Oddity
Danger Level: Blue Tie
Name: “The Revenant”
Gender (If applicable): Male-presumed
Species (If known): N/A
Age (If known): N/A
Measurements (If applicable): Diameter of 9.51 in (24.2 cm)/ 29.5 in (74.9 cm) in circumference/ N/A
History: O-303 was found after a “UE” in what is now known as Omaha, Nebraska. When Enterprise staff came to the scene O-303 seemed to have possessed a resident of a town leading to a confrontation with Enterprise Associates who were forced to put them down. When the body was destroyed, O-303 fled from it as it seemed to try to find the next available host but was quickly detained by personnel and brought into containment.
Description: O-303, in its “docile” state is a black and green orb with similar dimensions to a recreational basketball that floats in the air. When presented with a human specimen it becomes extremely active and when undergoing “coherence” it corrupts its host by going into any orifice ie eyes, nose mouth, ears, etc. For all of the failed subjects O-303 elongates their limbs, rots their flesh and causes them to go on manic episodes of violence.
Ability: The abilities displayed during its capture were speed, limb elongation, corruption of nearby fauna and bilingualism (seeming to speak another language altogether that was untranslatable).
Containment procedures: O-303 is to be kept in its containment cell at all times and is not to come into contact with anyone. No one without a blue tie to Chief approval can open its cell. When extracting it from test subjects you must wait until the subject fully dies. This is most noticeable when the subject has stopped audibly screaming. Then when O-303 returns to its original position at the center of its cell. Afterward take out the corpse inside of its cell and take it to Sector 4 for research.
Transporting procedures: It is to be kept in a sealed tungsten container and is to not be let out under any circumstances.
Binding: N/A
Added Notes: It has undergone 58 binding attempts and all have been failures since its capture. Perhaps the first binding with O-303-1 was worth more study but we’ll have more test subjects in due time.
