INT. MAINTENANCE TUNNEL – BELOW CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT26Please respect copyright.PENANAVd5UYP0Mxv
26Please respect copyright.PENANAskuVTaq5Fl
[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.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAcHkCzSf6n0
26Please respect copyright.PENANAhteyCOCaFq
[He presses forward, eyes locked on the streaks of oil and scratch marks.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAfMDpvT4OAk
26Please respect copyright.PENANAIwne3Qbmyp
[Then he sees it—light reflecting off something wet, just ahead.]26Please respect copyright.PENANA4JxWHUL4Ic
26Please respect copyright.PENANArXSkNrLVhI
[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.]26Please respect copyright.PENANA0tLjP8Cwrl
26Please respect copyright.PENANAYNeLcKyMRJ
[At first glance: standard unit. Rusted. Oil leaking from the abdomen. But then—Jason freezes. The bot’s chest cavity is… wrong.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAEUcr0KRQtv
26Please respect copyright.PENANAL2Ph7JDp6l
[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.]26Please respect copyright.PENANApDPo1p5qxY
26Please respect copyright.PENANAZJQ0b8gYkb
JASON26Please respect copyright.PENANAhrxxwrJoAv
(low, guarded)26Please respect copyright.PENANAFWANa3DNyo
“…What the hell?”26Please respect copyright.PENANAM4BAOFxW8X
26Please respect copyright.PENANAHAFTVySM7d
[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.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAuUQt043sI2
26Please respect copyright.PENANAX8IwLxq9N0
[He crouches, scanning.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAnp4EiyLuYP
26Please respect copyright.PENANAg6YtnD4Nqx
JASON (V.O.)26Please respect copyright.PENANAZAMbURFRwg
“That’s no hacking virus. That’s infestation.”26Please respect copyright.PENANAf5awasWXmZ
26Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ8EyT7yi1
[The bot jerks its head slightly, jaw creaking. Its voice module is corrupted—glitchy, broken.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAzEEohsRXDJ
26Please respect copyright.PENANAa9ji96KqTl
LABOR BOT (GLITCHED)26Please respect copyright.PENANAy27AyYTL3C
“h̵̼̖̐͊ē̷͕͗͝l̵̢̛̍̐͗p̴̘̿̎̕… ̷̻͉̓͆m̶̯̼̐͐͝e̷̢̥̎̈́̐…”26Please respect copyright.PENANAd2UDRbLDjA
26Please respect copyright.PENANATPKqJ3txlJ
[Jason stares. His hand twitches. For a second, the tough-guy façade slips. Just a second.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAZqXImnLqPi
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwgU1DAsFF2
JASON (V.O.)26Please respect copyright.PENANAGrydUzxBHu
“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.”26Please respect copyright.PENANAE34dNCp6Z2
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwaIKtsMU6N
[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.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAMfS2N4o9Fd
26Please respect copyright.PENANArpuTyLVB2t
[The tendrils retreat into the bot’s torso. Its frame convulses violently. Jason raises his railcannon again.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAIdvfjdXiCn
26Please respect copyright.PENANAAfrhQ9i1fA
LABOR BOT (GLITCHED)26Please respect copyright.PENANA15gq7rBiaO
“d̷͕̒o̴̘͊n̷͔̽’̸̦̔t̵͚͋̕… ̷̟̊l̸̤̎ē̸̪t̵̯͌.̴̤̐̚.̶͚̐.̶̼͑”26Please respect copyright.PENANAuLV9lvXyMw
26Please respect copyright.PENANAr58bCUjn7a
[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.]26Please respect copyright.PENANACYxP1wLGGQ
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7c5Y6VANwi
[Silence.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAd13rmzH0sz
26Please respect copyright.PENANAnLqNOIXvE6
[Jason kneels, wiping splattered oil from his face.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAT6VE1cQdKe
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7xpwtOJJIG
JASON26Please respect copyright.PENANAG4dbRXYM6a
(softly)26Please respect copyright.PENANATWSxFFGlne
“This wasn’t a bot anymore.”26Please respect copyright.PENANABp0t2NppfI
26Please respect copyright.PENANAYskQ0QBTMg
[He looks at the remains of the parasitic mass.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAoLMGrZ9E6K
26Please respect copyright.PENANAdj8hUyTHBE
JASON (V.O.)26Please respect copyright.PENANAaFYoOGg7Do
“Whatever this is… it wasn’t built. It grew.”26Please respect copyright.PENANAD12dOZm3ZR
26Please respect copyright.PENANAhX4VLC4BUt
[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.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAQjwhKtF1C4
26Please respect copyright.PENANAlD2Rz58NO5
[Suddenly—thud. A distant sound from the tunnel ahead. Not footsteps. Something… dragging.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAG9u7IhcLhO
26Please respect copyright.PENANA9AoWfHxf48
JASON26Please respect copyright.PENANA2u67ZcrgeS
(to himself)26Please respect copyright.PENANAo4QzzeuRBs
“Round two already? Great.”26Please respect copyright.PENANA5ka2ssqP7c
26Please respect copyright.PENANADp9JSw8vRI
[He turns toward the sound, eyes glowing sharper now. One last glance at the dead bot. Then—onward.]26Please respect copyright.PENANAZHxtWCcjSp
