[WAKE UP]

Frank woke up a month ago from a hospital coma lasting six months. He has amnesia. He’s twenty-four years old.

<Can you hear me? I said forgo the background stuff. Do we still have access to his records?>

He has a small business dealing with street-level fights between Superhumans in the city he lives in.

<No. We’re not recasting this time. The budget has been stretched as it is. Let it play out this time.>

He repairs, maintains devices and invents solutions to mininise the damage in his home city on the planet Belphus.

A shame that he can’t remember anything else before he woke up.

With his best friend Benny he deals with street-level fights between….between….Superhumans….between….

<I told you to recast. He’s getting more aware every day. Why did he ask for this package in particular?>

My name is Frank. I don’t have a last name. I’m tired of freaks calling themselves superheroes and supervillains in my city.

I think…I think I need to eliminate them all. Power. I need power.

<Wake him up. Benny just arrived. He’s ready to finish the final scene this time.>

Am I having a bad dream again? Do you know me?

<Shut it down. He’s breaking, reset the scene. This time let him wake up. Remove the bad dream segement.>

[Frank. A normal person in a city with superhumans. He is normal. Everything is normal. Activate the scene – Uknown Cast Member]
