The Jensen Project Page #2

But it...

It can't hurt to hear

what Ingrid has to say!

Please, Claire.

Do this for me.

Edwin left

the Jensen Project.

Took his whole team...

and several

experimental projects,

including yours.

So what?

It didn't work. Remember?

It works now.

After you left,

Edwin continued your research

on electro nanobots.

He what?

And over the years,

he perfected

the work that you created.

This technology can save

millions of lives.

It can just as easily

destroy millions.

I don't follow you. What...

Nanobots are computers

the size of molecules.

They can be implanted

in human tissue.

In a battle,

for example,

a soldier is wounded.

If he's implanted

with a nanobot,

it could tell the medics

his exact location.

It could even stabilize

his bodily functions.

That's good, isn't it?

Unless the enemy

gets control...

of the computer that

manages the nanobots.

They could wipe out

an entire army...

by giving every soldier

in the field a massive coronary.

By simply

pressing a button.

This technology

could be a blessing,

or it could be

a nightmare,

depending on

who's controlling it.

And right now

that's Edwin?

That's why

I've come to you.

When Edwin left,

he wiped the drives clean.

I have no idea how he got

from my model to...

You have more of an idea

than anyone else!

Certainly anyone else

in the Jensen family!

I haven't been in the Jensen family

in a long time.

- Why not go to the authorities?

- If the media got wind of this...

the negative spin could

destroy the Jensen Project...

and all of the good

work we've done!

We need you!

We need both of you,

and we need you now.

Whoo!

Hey, Jimmy, I thought 20 bucks

bought me another...

What were you thinking?

I was thinking

you'd never find out.

How'd you know

where I was, anyway?

Your mom used a satellite

to track your cell phone.

- What?

- You pretended to be me...

so you could skip school.

Not cool, buddy. Oh, and by the way,

you are totally grounded.

Look, I can explain.

I was testing the rates of noise

reduction in isolated audio signals.

- I wrote an app, that can...

- It doesn't matter what you were doing.

What matters is

that you lied to the school...

and you lied to us.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Where are we going?

We're sending you

to military school.

What?

Look, Mom, I'll change!

- Can't we talk about this?

- You're not going to military school!

- Then where're we going?

- We're going back.

Back where?

To save the day, I hope!

And while we're at it,

maybe the world!

Why did Edwin choose now

to leave the Jensen project?

My fault. He wanted to skip

the usual protocols...

and advance the nanobot

to its next phase.
