A.L.E.C. the android sits at his desk. One of his eyes flashes green while beeping. He pushes a button on the side of his head and his eye projects a screen of light, showing a scared looking man with an eyepatch over his right eye. 

"A.L.E.C.!," the man yelled. "I need extraction! Now!!"

"Calm down Jack," A.L.E.C. reassured. "Do you have the vial?"

Jack holds up a small vial of purple liquid. 

"Of course I do! Conduit too!"

Gunshots echo in the background of Jack's call. He ducks and covers his head.

"Please hurry!"

A.L.E.C. closes the video and presses a button by his ear.

"Waypoint, come in."

A man steps into A.L.E.C.'s office. He's wearing a bright yellow jean jacket with a trans pin pinned in the pocket. He has a white shirt and black dress pants. He has dark brown hair tied into box braids with the ends dyed a golden blonde. 

"You called boss?"

"Jack needs extraction. He's under enemy fire."

"On it!"

Waypoint does some lunges to stretch his legs. He stops and stands back up. His skin starts glowing as it transforms into light. The light is so bright, the whole room glows. Time seems to slow as Waypoint fully becomes light. He walks down the hall of C.A.P.E. headquarters and down a flight of stairs. In the span of what feels like fifteen minutes, Waypoint is on the street level. 

Everyone around him seems completely frozen in time. Cars driving down the road are unmoving. People walking down the sidewalk are completely still, unblinking. Waypoint pays this no mind and continues walking at the speed of light. 

Several beacons of golden light shoot into the sky. Each one is a different conduit planted in a different spot, radiating light mana into the air and allowing Waypoint to travel easier. One beacon is significantly brighter than the rest. Jack's conduit. Waypoint walks towards it. 

Eventually, Waypoint reaches a large building. He walks into the building. Red lights flash on and off. Waypoint walks along beside the light, only slightly slower than it. He walks up the stairs, drawn to the mana emanating off Jack's conduit. He stops on the forty sixth floor, walking out into the hall. Several security guards are standing in the hall, firing bullets at Jack. Jack takes cover in a doorway and fires small yellow crystals back. Waypoint walks past the bullets, which don't even appear to be moving. One bullet is frozen mere inches from Jack's face. Waypoint grabs the bullet and moves it to the side. Waypoint then grabs Jack's arm, and begins walking the way he came. 

Back in A.L.E.C.'s office, a bright flash of light illuminates the room. When it dims down, Waypoint and Jack are standing in front of A.L.E.C., who is still in the same pose as when Waypoint left. 

Jack looks dizzy and a little green. "I'll never get used to that."

Waypoint does a little salute. "Mission accomplished!"

A.L.E.C. looks up from his work. "Excellent job agent."
