  1. [April 26, 2166]
  2. [Scientific & Technological Advanced Research Labs]
  3. [Central City, U.S.A.]
  4. [Colony State - Canadian Super-Nation]
  5.  
  6. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  7.  
  8. The Scientific & Technological Advanced Research Labs, S.T.A.R. Labs, the trailblazer behind Chi-to-Ki enhancement technology.
  9.  
  10. It was in its halls that Eobard Thawne would realize his destiny, his calling, as the superhero known as the Flash. As of late, though, Thawne has been busier than ever before, constantly running around to try and track down his greatest enemy, the speedster known only as Zoom. Currently, on one of his quieter days at the facility, Eobard Thawne is patiently looking over samples of the Velocity-1 formula developed by Dr. Savage in Russia.
  11.  
  12. The good professor is working alone, using his super speed to effectively multitask on a schedule that would ordinarily take an entire research team to handle. As he does, one of his oldest acquaintances, a childhood friend by the name of Ripley Hunter, walks into the laboratory setting.
  13.  
  14. With speed befitting his superhero persona's name, Professor Thawne greets his old friend.
  15.  
  16.  
  17. (Eobard Thawne): Oh hey, Rip! Kinda busy!
  18.  
  19.  
  20. Just as quickly as he welcomes his guest, he zips back to his work. However, Ripley is unfazed by this display of quick reflexes; he's apparently quite used to it now. Instead, Ripley Hunter impatiently waits by the entrance and taps his foot with a fervour never before witnessed beyond stereotypical cartoon rabbit portrayals.
  21.  
  22. Finally, Eobard seems to finish up his analysis of the Velocity-1 sample and closes up shop on the laboratory setup.
  23.  
  24.  
  25. (Eobard Thawne): Okay, I'm finished, Rip.
  26.  
  27. (Ripley Hunter): Finally! I was wondering when you'd be done so that we can discuss my ideas for once!
  28.  
  29.  
  30. The two friends walk towards the end of the room. Thawne places his hand on the holographic scanner, activating the hidden door and revealing a room covered from head to toe in holographic boards with a near limitless assortment of blueprints and sketches of various things both sensible and fantastical. As soon as the two enter, Eobard immediately zips around the room and cleans up the messes with lightning quick speed.
  31.  
  32.  
  33. (Eobard Thawne): There! All clean!
  34.  
  35. (Ripley Hunter): Dear God, are you such a nerd!
  36.  
  37. (Eobard Thawne): Better a nerd with superpowers than a normal man in a trenchcoat with a little laser revolver.
  38.  
  39. (Ripley Hunter): Don't knock it till you try it!
  40.  
  41.  
  42. As the good professor speeds out of the room to gather up some of his laboratory equipment from the other room, Hunter settles down in one of the old-fashioned sofas and pulls up one of the holographic boards and a bowl of potato chips with him. Once Thawne has finished up, he quickly jumps into the chair next to Rip's sofa.
  43.  
  44.  
  45. (Ripley Hunter): Alright, now that we're settled, we can get things underway.
  46.  
  47. (Eobard Thawne): Indeed! Okay, so......... where were we last time?
  48.  
  49. (Ripley Hunter): Uh uh uh! You have to tell me the results you found on Velocity-1!
  50.  
  51. (Eobard Thawne): Okay, you're right, Rip. Hold up.
  52.  
  53.  
  54. Eobard Thawne gets up, walks over to the holo-board, and moves some of the apps around until he comes to a specific set of data results from his recent testing of the Velocity-1 formula developed by Dr. Savage. The results seem to greatly interest Ripley Hunter; he watches with a curiosity unmatched even by the most curious of Georges. Files flash by quickly; most prominent are images of the yellow liquid in a variety of experimental settings. After the slideshow ends, Thawne turns to his friend.
  55.  
  56.  
  57. (Eobard Thawne): Well?
  58.  
  59. (Ripley Hunter): It's..... well, it's absolutely incredible! Is it true that it could really enhance a speedster's abilities, maybe even gift them to regular Humans?
  60.  
  61. (Eobard Thawne): Theoretically, yes. But there's no telling what the long-term effects might be. I've found markers that may point towards chronic psychosis with repeated usage, even chemical dependency!
  62.  
  63. (Ripley Hunter): But that's only if it happens to regular Humans, and not Post-Human speedsters, right?
  64.  
  65. (Eobard Thawne): I'm not sure. I sure as hell won't be testing it on myself. Velocity-1 is just too unstable at the moment, and a little too easy to produce, even without the use of industrial chemical mixers.
  66.  
  67. (Ripley Hunter): That's unfortunate. Luckily, Zoom hasn't been able to get a hold of that stuff yet. Who knows what the consequences could be?
  68.  
  69. (Eobard Thawne): Definitely.
  70.  
  71. (Ripley Hunter): Now.......
  72.  
  73.  
  74. Ripley Hunter reactivates the holographic display, this time bringing up clearly hand-drawn sketches of some kind of flying vehicle, the likes of which resemble the 21st century's idea of how technology in the mid-22nd century would look like. The title of the sketch, as well as various scribbles all over the display, seem to point to this contraption being some sort of time machine.
  75.  
  76.  
  77. (Ripley Hunter): About my time machine idea.......
  78.  
  79. (Eobard Thawne): *sighs* Rip, I keep telling you........ time travel, even in 2166, ISN'T POSSIBLE.
  80.  
  81. (Ripley Hunter): IS SO!
  82.

  87. [Site A1]
  88. [South American Wasteland, South America]
  89. [Colony State - Canadian Super-Nation]

  92.  
  93. Site A1. The first site to undergo a complete government-sponsored excavation and survey of a spawning site for P.E.M.F.s, and the arena, so to speak, for many titanic battles fought between colossi of both flesh and steel. However, the area has been abandoned for years, stripped of all its resources and left to be swallowed up by the South American Wasteland.
  94.  
  95. Despite the apparent desertion, one living thing appears to be present. A bright streak of blue lightning zooms across the vast dusty plains, creating a gigantic mandala of unknown origin made up of the seared marks left by the speedster. After making his message, the culprit himself, the almighty Zoom, speeds up onto the top of a mountain. He looks up towards the sky and screams at the top of his lungs.
  96.  
  97.  
  98. (Zoom): I AM ZOOM, AND I WILL BE THE VESSEL FOR WHICH YOU WILL CARVE YOUR IMAGE UNTO THIS FOUL EARTH!
