Introduction
We open on an abandoned warehouse near the docklands in London. It’s dark, with massive tanks gathering dust, and sheets on the equipment. It’s the warehouse from the Guy Fawkes episode of One Epic Year, where Brian made his bombs.
A dark figure enters from the shadows, we don’t see their face.
The figure takes the sheets of the equipment and turns it on. They start to take apart the massive tanks. They fire up a metal smelting machine and put the pieces of tank in there.
Out pours the molten metal into sand moulds. The moulds look like broken chest pieces of armour. They’re cooling next to a pile of black clothes and bandages.
The figure dips the clothes and bandages in a tank filled with water and black dye. They start sewing the materials together.
More molten metal is poured out into sand moulds that like throwing knives and arrow heads. They cool and the figure dips them into a water like solution.
They start grinding the knives and arrowhead to be sharp.
The figure pulls wires from the wall to a central console they fashioned from the equipment left behind. It lights up into life and displays maps, news feeds and what looks like radio frequencies.
The figure bashes the metal chest pieces with a mallet, shaping them and sews them into the materials they were sewing moments ago.
They test the knives by throwing them into a target across the room, with extreme precision.
They start to dress themselves in the clothes and armour they have made. Loading the knives into their custom made belt and pockets. They wrap the black bandages around their head and pull up their custom made hood.
They step towards a giant window at the top of the building, where they can see their city in distress, London. They take a breath to steel themselves. Before looking at us the audience with deadly determination.
All we can see is their eyes through the bandages. We name no idea this steely eyes belong to. Who is this? Who is The Man in Black?
