Welcome to the Blacksite

Breakout

In a New York lab, a red-haired young woman stands sealed inside a glass containment tube while scientists watch the readings. Blue scales spread across her face and she becomes Vesra, a blue reptilian warrior, who smashes out of the tube and tears through the lab staff. A technician calls for the NYPD as Vesra crashes through the doors and walks out into a city alley.

Lizard Prince in Transit

An armoured truck crosses the desert toward the Area 51 base. In the cab, agents Cole Mercer and Dane Rourke joke about whether their shackled passenger's cuffs could pop off, while Vesra watches them in silence from the back. In a New York café, a young man watches a news report of the creature overwhelming NYPD officers, and the anchor confirms it is now in federal custody.

Welcome to the Blacksite

The truck rolls into the base and the two agents march Vesra, collared and cuffed, into a lift that descends into an underground prison. They lead her past cages holding Kaelith and a glowing green beast and lock her in a cell. Vesra tests the bars and is thrown back by a shield, and her neighbour Tarkan, a snow-leopard warrior, tells her the bars aren't the real wall.

Sable Rides

In New York, a masked rider, Sable, races a heavy black motorcycle through the streets as police give chase and explosions blow out shopfronts. At the blacksite, a guard gets word that New York is overwhelmed and all units must report topside, and he leaves the cell block empty.

The Stolen Keycard

Vesra snatches a keycard with her long tongue and swipes her cell open. When a guard comes back, Tarkan leaps on him and flattens him, and Vesra unlocks the cage of a glowing green beast as the alarm turns the block red and calls out a containment failure. In New York Sable keeps riding through the chaos, and back in the prison the freed creatures overrun the guards trying to hold the bridge.

Through the Base

Vesra walks alone through the base's offices until three armed guards stop her in a corridor. She fights her way through them and out into the desert yard, beating back guards and a containment gun. A news report of a creature escaping a Nevada facility plays on a bar television.

Of Course, They Took the Bike

Guards race to cut Vesra off, but Sable tears through the base on her motorcycle, blasting a path through the police cars. Vesra jumps on behind her and they ride out of Area 51, Sable laughing in triumph. In a New York bedroom, Ren Calloway watches the news of the escape, says "Of course, they took the bike," straps on a jetpack and flies off over the city.
