INT. MAINTENANCE TUNNEL – BELOW CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24vEoOtZLO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtDbyx5azZ
[The tunnel is barely wide enough for Jason’s shoulders. His flashlight-arm illuminates the narrow path ahead—metal walls groaning softly as the city above shifts in its sleep. There’s a low hum. Not from machinery. Not natural.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x2lJT5CMN
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49IR6hGGo4
[He presses forward, eyes locked on the streaks of oil and scratch marks.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcASuiffPk
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zErCLMaGs
[Then he sees it—light reflecting off something wet, just ahead.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdH5EhhQP4
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf5GDiwDPP
[He emerges into a cramped side chamber filled with hanging wires, blown-out consoles, and a single Labor bot—slumped, twitching, back propped against a wall.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ZUo5s5hQ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJbXe04mPf
[At first glance: standard unit. Rusted. Oil leaking from the abdomen. But then—Jason freezes. The bot’s chest cavity is… wrong.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxnpkuJcg0
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffezfmEF6d
[A spiderweb of black tendrils coils out from the seams. They're organic-metal hybrids, squirming faintly—alive. They pulse slowly, like a machine breathing.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT5NK973KV

(low, guarded)104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJriexVI2cV
“…What the hell?”104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMQsrfwOGw
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOoeizaKfg
[The Labor bot’s eyes are dim red, blinking erratically. One arm tries to lift but fails, fingers spasming. Jason steps closer, railcannon aimed. The tendrils respond—contracting inward like they’re hiding.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr2DwgcNJw
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoPcMQO1O1
[He crouches, scanning.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHlcOeduy

“That’s no hacking virus. That’s infestation.”104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwQXvELMBi
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERObqhJtYO
[The bot jerks its head slightly, jaw creaking. Its voice module is corrupted—glitchy, broken.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGITZyLJFJS

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBU6dCwVGA
[Jason stares. His hand twitches. For a second, the tough-guy façade slips. Just a second.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULKLCXXqwn

“I’ve fought bots trying to kill me. I’ve fought bots programmed to kill. But this… this looks like something forgot how to die.”104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTfdibhEWG
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtihGzAbmMF
[Suddenly, one of the tendrils lashes out, narrowly missing his head. Jason blasts it, and the bot shrieks—a distorted, multi-pitched sound that echoes off the walls like metal screaming.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQROt15Wxgt
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvsiBhYC9a
[The tendrils retreat into the bot’s torso. Its frame convulses violently. Jason raises his railcannon again.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZViE1Ug5aJ

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4w2nYhxBd
[Jason pauses. Then fires a single, clean shot into the bot’s core. It collapses, finally still. The tendrils curl, blackened, twitch once—and die.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1xoC62VS5

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnjjySxFvG
[He pulls a blade from his side holster, slicing off a fragment of the tendril and storing it in a sealed tube. He stands, breathing heavier than usual. Not from exertion—but unease.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL5KxbIBXD
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cof6qNFOU
[Suddenly—thud. A distant sound from the tunnel ahead. Not footsteps. Something… dragging.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHkAznTSfo

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7naLtJPv1Y
[He turns toward the sound, eyes glowing sharper now. One last glance at the dead bot. Then—onward.]104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxscwQ6PPaE
