INT. MAINTENANCE TUNNEL – BELOW CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LWBh9pXfL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2i3l8Xs1E
[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.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWIahVgcy7

[He presses forward, eyes locked on the streaks of oil and scratch marks.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEUD1iUjN3
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8YmIBjYxU
[Then he sees it—light reflecting off something wet, just ahead.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xuv88IDB8
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLCBClpYQE
[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.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwGGXxrSTl
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd4wldldy7
[At first glance: standard unit. Rusted. Oil leaking from the abdomen. But then—Jason freezes. The bot’s chest cavity is… wrong.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdYZksNggB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJef8aeeeG
[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.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3FW5O5tYu

“…What the hell?”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgTR7uawlo
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37bbMi76Kz
[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.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUWNtB0pPN
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSVDNYsSLA
[He crouches, scanning.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5721wQnTU

“That’s no hacking virus. That’s infestation.”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvaH54s6cq
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI83Ot6FX4c
[The bot jerks its head slightly, jaw creaking. Its voice module is corrupted—glitchy, broken.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKICm6SNex

[Jason stares. His hand twitches. For a second, the tough-guy façade slips. Just a second.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkauyHdDjY

“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.”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PJ6nZTMVl
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3gNv1wAs3
[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.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLczTkpOjb
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRTY2tBxAu
[The tendrils retreat into the bot’s torso. Its frame convulses violently. Jason raises his railcannon again.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0AGdmwAOs

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH8TGwh301
[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.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I3QzFSEcs

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TT8TNBxS
[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.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWVm9IvVFv

[Suddenly—thud. A distant sound from the tunnel ahead. Not footsteps. Something… dragging.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56MQyT0Il

[He turns toward the sound, eyes glowing sharper now. One last glance at the dead bot. Then—onward.]127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8seSXZSAkr
