INT. CENTRAL CITY – JOSH’S REPAIR SHOP – LATE AFTERNOON
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDx9xpyHvP
[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.]

[Jason leads the way in, crate in tow. A large sign at the entrance reads: “Josh’s: No Refunds, No Explosions (Anymore).”]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Ns8RPtPR
[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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgRNAEVj8x
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1XWlKIjIA
[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.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0rHhVfEKr
JOSH (eyeing him suspiciously)
“Friend of yours?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsdwyA7ND8
JASON (casual)
“Tourist. Picked up a scratch near the wall. You know how sightseeing goes.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6n6WZAxzF
JOSH (sighs, grabbing a scanner)
“Uh-huh. If this one explodes on the table, you’re paying for the ceiling this time.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIcykL7QfT
[Jason drops onto the diagnostics chair like he owns it. The back clamps his shoulders and a robotic arm starts scanning his body panels.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYT9W2cbjc
[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).]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ4z6dFzmx
JOSH (to SD-A)
“Alright, let’s see what we’re workin’ with. Don’t flinch unless you want me to hit something important.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvX69sZQ9a
[As Josh starts examining the side waist, his expression grows just slightly confused. The metal feels different. Alive, almost.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITDZV190hU
JOSH
“…What model are you again?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeLEfRgMnD
SD-A (smiling awkwardly)
“Oh, I’m a… Vision Tech prototype. Custom job. Internal structure’s weird. Marketing gimmick, you know.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIDkwRxHin
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.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4KHkerdQB
[A spark. SD-A flinches. Josh doesn’t seem to notice too much—too focused on fixing the damaged joint.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1FGyk0pUo
[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.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah2zyxdAZF
JASON (calling out)
“K! Don’t touch stuff! Some of those are alive!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HUI9uFEAv
JOSH (grinning as he works)
“He’s like a toddler with lasers.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLzeqFHslH
JASON
“He’s worse. At least toddlers don’t try to evaluate your furniture for tactical advantage.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPR7cB08We
[Josh finishes welding SD-A’s side and patches the surface with a layered armor strip. It’s not pretty, but functional.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmtEkNuFGM
JOSH
“There. Good as new. Maybe not factory-perfect, but you’ll survive a stiff breeze.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iymFe3mPm
SD-A (sincerely)
“Thank you. That was… surprisingly kind.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGLst6suWk
JOSH (snorting)
“Don’t get used to it. I charge double for tourists.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoraYrKSqYw
[Jason stands from the diagnostics chair and stretches like someone who pretends his body doesn’t ache.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dcGeX5JcY
JASON
“Appreciate it as always, Josh.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gh0BDt8bH
JOSH
“You still chasing Puris?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi32YkcAuT
JASON (fake cheer)
“Oh yeah. Nothing says ‘fun’ like decapitating murderbots for minimum wage.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFtaEMCxzn
JOSH (chuckling)
“Just try not to get killed. I’ve got a bet going that you survive another five months.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw0rCRdzTT
JASON
“I’ll try to die after you win it.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6TkvluI7f
[They all share a quiet, brief smile. Even SD-K seems to relax slightly.]
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVAd3eNq2v
[Outside, the faint chime of an old city bell rings—six cycles past midday. Time to move.]
