INT. CENTRAL CITY – JOSH’S REPAIR SHOP – LATE AFTERNOON
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBUm5lC55j
[The repair shop is dim, cluttered, and smells like hot solder and old plasma grease. Flickering neon signs buzz above rows of hanging tools and diagnostic terminals. Bits of bots—legs, arms, a suspiciously dented head—sit in bins marked with faded tape: FIX, MEH, and HA HA NO.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX5Fkkz7aK
[Jason leads the way in, crate in tow. A large sign at the entrance reads: “Josh’s: No Refunds, No Explosions (Anymore).”]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcARItzQgu
[Behind the front counter, a tall Labor bot with mismatched optics and a welder’s glove permanently fused to one hand raises a lazy wave.]

JOSH ANDERSON
“Well, well. Look who’s not dead this month.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56gQCMMKqG
JASON (grinning)
“Not for lack of trying. I’m here for my regular. Also… I got a ‘guest’ who’s leaking more than an old coffee maker.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURRMrqfO6P
[Jason gestures toward SD-A, who’s doing a very poor job of pretending not to limp. SD-A offers a stiff wave, his side waist clearly damaged under the fake cloak.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzwc5ydxGA
JOSH (eyeing him suspiciously)
“Friend of yours?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPx8ofv3vn
JASON (casual)
“Tourist. Picked up a scratch near the wall. You know how sightseeing goes.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5FwyrVJQ9
JOSH (sighs, grabbing a scanner)
“Uh-huh. If this one explodes on the table, you’re paying for the ceiling this time.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB5ykyS20u
[Jason drops onto the diagnostics chair like he owns it. The back clamps his shoulders and a robotic arm starts scanning his body panels.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHWjxXobyj
[Meanwhile, SD-A is led to a side cot. He lowers himself slowly, trying not to wince. Josh walks over with a scanner, eyebrows raised (if he had eyebrows).]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn67R8hKyN
JOSH (to SD-A)
“Alright, let’s see what we’re workin’ with. Don’t flinch unless you want me to hit something important.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcslaAQcV9
[As Josh starts examining the side waist, his expression grows just slightly confused. The metal feels different. Alive, almost.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6aaJarRT7
JOSH
“…What model are you again?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYuAvji5sK
SD-A (smiling awkwardly)
“Oh, I’m a… Vision Tech prototype. Custom job. Internal structure’s weird. Marketing gimmick, you know.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJR9jBxL0Q
JOSH (grumbling as he welds)
“Damn Vision Tech always makin’ the weird ones. Last week a bot walked in with a charging port inside his foot. Who greenlights that?”
(pauses)
“This… might sting.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyxRPLNwrb
[A spark. SD-A flinches. Josh doesn’t seem to notice too much—too focused on fixing the damaged joint.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QjKgpSTol
[Across the room, SD-K is wandering like a lost cat, scanning everything with silent precision. At one point, he picks up a thermal welder, flips it, clicks it once, and then gently puts it down like he just held a nuclear trigger.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs3gMxjjRo
JASON (calling out)
“K! Don’t touch stuff! Some of those are alive!”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9GXRxuiV7
JOSH (grinning as he works)
“He’s like a toddler with lasers.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkyn88xepv
JASON
“He’s worse. At least toddlers don’t try to evaluate your furniture for tactical advantage.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF2conQUvd
[Josh finishes welding SD-A’s side and patches the surface with a layered armor strip. It’s not pretty, but functional.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt8ehtqjwe
JOSH
“There. Good as new. Maybe not factory-perfect, but you’ll survive a stiff breeze.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw3Iy7DEW9
SD-A (sincerely)
“Thank you. That was… surprisingly kind.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZokkWNVSmE
JOSH (snorting)
“Don’t get used to it. I charge double for tourists.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJohZryaTeX
[Jason stands from the diagnostics chair and stretches like someone who pretends his body doesn’t ache.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ3btuxHWJ
JASON
“Appreciate it as always, Josh.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmrKwqMfmI
JOSH
“You still chasing Puris?”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk28iKLUMD5
JASON (fake cheer)
“Oh yeah. Nothing says ‘fun’ like decapitating murderbots for minimum wage.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPFGlrTO2P
JOSH (chuckling)
“Just try not to get killed. I’ve got a bet going that you survive another five months.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkNN1ssj1I
JASON
“I’ll try to die after you win it.”
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxgetWIfuV
[They all share a quiet, brief smile. Even SD-K seems to relax slightly.]
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsQKcBa0Yu
[Outside, the faint chime of an old city bell rings—six cycles past midday. Time to move.]
