Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
321Please respect copyright.PENANApU6S4OWZhD
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
321Please respect copyright.PENANA006ZyA2TC0
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
321Please respect copyright.PENANA9p7Ij5vkPI
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
321Please respect copyright.PENANA52bPCcp0yE
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAqdBNIUfX2W
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAoB3IPWl4WP
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAveePpNhFXf
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAiLrrJodtyv
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
321Please respect copyright.PENANAyNIL56W9th
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAyEOD1BBGOI
> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."
321Please respect copyright.PENANAEUWVH0bzuK
321Please respect copyright.PENANA55Z0L9ZOjQ
321Please respect copyright.PENANANGB2EZWnXR
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
321Please respect copyright.PENANAkc9WOSSDFg
The memory sliced through him.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAcMdqmpfgd1
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAJEfldTPaWO
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAnh1A107w52
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
321Please respect copyright.PENANAgG3rZ7akKd
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxWxil0KJhm
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAHpghQI6ANx
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
321Please respect copyright.PENANAHJoIdRaQHa
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAb5WScEaqR6
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAlcRuAW8GCc
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAGkCUK0XWRA
321Please respect copyright.PENANAJVEi12tEgz
321Please respect copyright.PENANAXSEBEmKI05
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
321Please respect copyright.PENANAwObQYos3BY
“Vikrant.”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAXYibcVzmon
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
321Please respect copyright.PENANAj4NlgIB5Ek
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAtO0I9Wqh5G
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
321Please respect copyright.PENANADfuYXSa2Qp
> “Still alive, are you?”
321Please respect copyright.PENANATHbxgCPn4Y
321Please respect copyright.PENANAeI24SHbpth
321Please respect copyright.PENANACVrOYRIv3t
He turned.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAF3BctDCpIY
Vikrant.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAeX07JgrwC2
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
321Please respect copyright.PENANArvSLHtSM7f
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAOa8DS0c340
321Please respect copyright.PENANADv2UcHJAVq
321Please respect copyright.PENANARhTZvUXDt1
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAG0s9Mp0NbH
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAEFe7AguPzR
321Please respect copyright.PENANAairvAveM0U
321Please respect copyright.PENANAbps8no4cAk
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
321Please respect copyright.PENANArjHQOeDNne
The screen flickered, then stopped.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAxvYz8CV29r
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5PQM0aFbo
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
321Please respect copyright.PENANA4wLONdAGwn
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
321Please respect copyright.PENANAmLAxbe2FzS
Back at the CBI.
321Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jj4kLOCjC
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAdBtG5YNnu2
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAM36yoZAQrg
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
321Please respect copyright.PENANA9MTT4JLjZy
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
321Please respect copyright.PENANAfon70WdpIL
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
321Please respect copyright.PENANAFMuecMzPVc
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
