About

Graphic Novel:From the Files of Primatech, Part 1

Angela, Charles, Bob and Daniel sit in Uncle Ira's, a venue where Chris Coolidge is holding a concert, in order to evaluate Chris's ability. There appears to be quite a large crowd there, presumably to see Chris's show. The future Company discusses Chris's talent; while they agree that he's not much of a musician, they say that he somehow seems good at it. After Chris finishes his song however, a group of police officers arrive and claim that Uncle Ira's is over-capacity. Chaos erupts, as Chris claims that they've done this to him three times while another woman says that they don't like the message Chris is sending. After brief moments of hostilities on both sides, Chris claims that he's going to start a riot.
