Chapter
2
"How
do
we
know
he
is
a
Remnant
and
not
some
actor
you
hired?"
A
man
in
a
brown
coat
and
sunglasses
asks.
Logan
smirks
and
walks
over
to
Prometheus.
"Lift
up
your
shirt."
He
tells
him.
The
boy
complies
and
his
chest
is
metallic
with
a
circular
chamber
in
the
middle.
Logan
twists
it
and
the
hatch
opens
to
reveal
a
glowing
green
crystal.
The
reporters
begin
taking
pictures
and
whispering
to
each
other.
Prometheus
begins
to
become
scared
his
eyes
dart
back
and
forth.
He
sees
a
man
reach
into
his
pocket
and
pull
a
gun
from
it.
He
aims
at
Logan
and
fires
as
the
crowd
ducks
down.
Prometheus
moves
on
instinct
alone
and
leaps
in
front
of
his
father.
The
bullet
hits
his
back
and
ricochets
off
into
the
crowd
hitting
a
woman
in
the
knee.
She
falls
over
screaming
in
pain
and
the
crowd
begins
to
panic.
His
eyes
glow
red
with
fury
and
he
scans
the
crowd
to
find
the
shooter.
He
finds
him
running
towards
the
elevator
and
in
a
single
breath,
he
leaps
from
the
podium
and
lands
on
the
man.
A
loud
crunch
is
heard
as
his
back
snaps
from
the
force
of
his
landing.
He
grabs
the
man
by
the
back
of
the
head.
"You
dare
try
to
kill
my
father!?"
The
boy
screams.
He
raises
his
other
hand
back
but
before
he
can
land
the
blow
Logan
intervenes.
"Stop
it,
son!"
He
yells
as
Prometheus
freezes.
Police
arrest
the
man
and
Prometheus
just
stares
off
into
the
distance.
Logan
grabs
him
by
his
hand
and
the
two
retreat
back
into
the
building.
Once
in
the
lab,
Logan
begins
to
run
tests.
Richard
walks
up
to
him
with
a
worried
look
on
his
face.
"He
attacked
that
man
and
nearly
killed
him.
I
thought
they
couldn’t
attack
humans."
Richard
says.
"He
also
saved
my
life,
what
is
the
media
saying?"
Logan
responds.
“They
think
the
man
was
trampled
by
the
crowd,
they
are
heralding
Prometheus
as
a
hero.
But
we
both
know
what
happened.
I
think
we
should
scrap
the
whole
project."
Richard
says.
Grabbing
him
by
the
shoulders
Logan
pleads.
"No,
I’ll
find
the
bug
that
allowed
him
to
hurt
the
man,
I
swear
to
God.
If
this
gets
out
our
company
will
go
under
and
our
life's
work
will
be
a
laughing
stock!
I'm
begging
you,
Richard,
just
push
production
out
a
month
and
say
it's
because
of
supply.
I'll
fix
it."
Logan
begs.
"Fine
but
you
better
fix
him."
Richard
demands.
Logan
smiles
and
nods
and
goes
back
to
his
tests.
Afterward,
he
gives
the
boy
a
hug
and
thanks
him
for
saving
his
life.
He
powers
the
boy
down
and
goes
back
to
work.
All
through
the
night,
he
works
to
figure
out
what
went
wrong.
Morning
comes
and
Richard
appears
once
again.
"Well
did
you
find
anything?
He
asks.
"Yea,
the
power
source
has
been
outputting
at
too
high
a
level
and
short-circuited
the
safety
block
for
some
reason.
It's
now
fixed
and
I
updated
the
neural
network
for
the
other
Remnant.
You
can
begin
production
today
if
you
want
to.
I
gotta
take
a
nap.”
Logan
responds.
I
hope
it
was
just
a
glitch
.
He
thinks
to
himself.
While
asleep
Logan
dreams,
one
of
those
vivid
dreams,
the
kind
that
you
never
forget.
The
ones
where
you
swear
it’s
real
and
when
you
wake
up
in
a
sweat
and
grasping
your
bed
you
tell
yourself
it’s
all
a
dream.
In
it,
a
voice
beckons
to
him
to
come
closer.
Logan
stands
in
a
dense
jungle,
around
him
the
sounds
of
the
night
screech
out
warning
him
to
run.
He
doesn’t
listen,
following
the
voice
deeper
into
the
jungle
through
the
foliage
he
walks.
A
man
determined
to
find
what
he’s
looking
for,
pressing
onwards
into
the
unknown.
Finally,
after
what
seems
like
an
eternity
he
comes
upon
a
clearing
and
a
cave
across
from
a
small
pond.
Wading
into
the
freezing
water
he
inches
ever
closer
to
the
darkened
cave.
Suddenly
something
wraps
around
his
submerged
leg
tightly.
He
plunges
his
hands
into
the
black
water
and
clenches
them
around
something.
Using
all
of
his
strength
he
pulls
it
from
the
darkness
and
discovers
a
snake
the
size
of
his
body.
The
beast
hisses
and
tries
to
bite
him
but
he
dodges.
Bobbing
head
at
the
last
moment
he
reaches
down
to
his
belt
and
grabs
the
knife
fastened
there.
Stabbing
it
into
the
snake’s
head
he
furiously
saws
it
until
blood
sprays
all
over
him.
Focusing
on
the
cave,
he
wades
through
the
water
and
steps
inside.
“That’s
it
Logan,
come
and
take
your
fate.
This
is
what
you
always
wanted
right?
Fame,
fortune,
to
be
lauded
as
a
genius.”
The
voice
whispers.
Logan
walks
deep
into
the
cave
and
finally
sees
the
object
of
his
search.
A
flicker
of
green
light
illuminates
the
darkness
enough
to
make
out
a
shape.
A
crystal
the
size
of
a
baseball
sits
on
a
stone
at
the
back
of
the
cave.
Running
towards
it
he
places
his
hand
on
it
and
the
crystal
begins
to
pulse
with
a
green
light.
His
eyes
widen
as
a
vision
is
forced
into
his
brain.
He
sees
himself
standing
in
a
great
hall
surrounded
by
people.
They
are
cheering
his
name,
revering
him
as
some
sort
of
God.
Others
are
clapping,
they
all
are
smiling
with
awe
and
toasting
their
drinks.
He
sees
himself
come
onto
the
stage
with
a
small
boy.
The
vision
fades
and
another
takes
its
place,
this
one
is
of
a
large
army
of
machines.
Marching
on
a
walled
city,
a
woman
cries
holding
her
young
daughter.
Gripped
with
fear
she
calls
out.
“God
save
us!
Someone
Please!”
She
pleads.
Lastly,
a
face
is
seen
grinning,
half
of
it
is
robotic
the
other
human.
He
sits
on
a
throne
of
human
skulls
and
in
the
darkness,
his
eyes
glow
a
bright
green.
Logan
wakes
up
sweating
and
reaching
around
his
bed.
Again
with
this
fucking
dream.
Every
month
or
so
it
comes
back,
just
when
I
begin
to
forget
about
it.
Anytime
I
try
to
remember
where
I
found
the
energy
source
it's
hazy.
He
thinks.
Looking
at
the
time
it
reads
3:10
am
in
a
holographic
display
over
on
his
dresser.
He
gets
out
of
bed
slowly
as
not
to
wake
the
sleeping
bar
girl
who
is
passed
out
next
to
him.
Grabbing
his
tablet
he
steps
out
onto
his
balcony
that
overlooks
the
greatest
city
on
Earth.
He
begins
to
read
news
articles
on
the
press
conference.
One
reads,
Creator
saved
by
Creation!
Logan
Whitmore,
tech
genius
and
developer
of
the
Prometheus
Remnant
was
attacked
today.
He
spends
hours
obsessing
over
social
media
and
what
the
world
is
saying
about
him
as
he
sips
his
brandy
until
he
finally
passes
out
on
the
chair
outside.
At
six
am
his
phone
rings
which
startles
him
awake.
