INT. CENTRAL CITY – CONVENIENCE STORE – EVENING
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9C8EzPGKO
[The convenience store is a clean, fluorescent-lit space nestled in the heart of the marketplace. A conveyor belt of packaged machine oils, canned nano-pastes, small batteries, and semi-questionable snacks line the shelves. Jason leads the way, pushing a hover-basket that occasionally tries to drift off like it wants to escape.]

JASON
"Alright, grab whatever doesn’t try to eat you first. But we’re on a budget, so no ‘luxury-refined turbine oils,’ got it?”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAtMaj1HuT
SD-A (squinting at a can)
“...This one says ‘partially organic.’ Is that good or bad?”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCbkDOCzko
JASON (takes the can and squints at it too)
“Depends. If it moos when you open it, toss it.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs1q38tFtC
[SD-K grabs a six-pack of high-voltage microcells and a suspiciously bright-blue can labeled “THUNDER MUNCH!” Jason eyes him.]
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dtX6D3nLo
JASON
“You’re gonna short your entire system with that thing.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj4glhrPS8
SD-K (flat)
“Perfect.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc2woMKxv9
[They check out. The cashier bot doesn’t say a word, just slowly scans the items with the look of someone who once lost a family member to poor social interaction.]

EXT. BANK – SHORTLY AFTER
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdEhGigjNs
[The bank looms over the street like a polished financial tomb. Its signage flickers just a bit, as if powered by debt. Inside, a line of various bots shuffle forward, most of them Labor and Operator bots with respectable chassis and posture. Jason’s slightly scorched armor earns him looks.]
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRlIvYuQz
[They reach the front desk—a pristine, silver-plated Operator bot with a head shaped like a judge’s gavel. Its eyes dim in disdain as Jason steps forward.]
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8qhU9lbUR
FRONT DESK BOT (icy)
“Purpose of visit?”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19PbWu32aM
JASON
“Withdrawal. Just a little.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxNNkCv5oJ
FRONT DESK BOT
“Hm. Security Class 5. Powerline Account.” (pulls up data)
“Current balance: 1,205 cred-cores. Request?”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSQ06hjfBx
JASON (trying to sound casual)
“Gimme 300.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR01Q87cyZ
FRONT DESK BOT
“For food and batteries again?”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n9W2GoMJT
JASON (deadpan)
“No, I’m starting a hedge fund. Yes, food.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSbKkntoJL
FRONT DESK BOT
“Hmph. Would recommend better financial discipline. Perhaps fewer discretionary explosions.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmNFUMVM8L
[Jason forces a grin, grabbing the cred chip.]
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PWWrglYzf
JASON
“I’ll put that on my inspirational wall. Right next to ‘Don’t Die Monday.’”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBOGhstUJc
[SD-A and SD-K wait by the exit, looking uncomfortably out of place. A few Labor bots walking in toss cautious glances at them.]
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJyne8a0b6
SD-K (low voice)
“They’re looking at us like we’re radioactive.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAlJKFKLf2
SD-A
“To be fair, you probably are.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pPhX9BmHw
[Jason returns, waving the cred chip.]
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7EylubUV
JASON
“Alright, let’s pay for our legally dubious dinner and bail before I get judged into poverty.”

EXT. MARKETPLACE – EXIT – MOMENTS LATER
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2qP3q2hKn
[They step outside into the cooling night air. Street lights flicker on, buzzing like old thoughts. Jason stretches and yawns.]
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgjPnrAWn
JASON
“Marketplace complete. Wallet emptied. Dignity surgically removed. We’re making real progress, boys.”
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvbu1uLppc
[SD-K groans. SD-A quietly enjoys the can of oil like it’s some sort of vintage wine. Behind them, the city hums along like it doesn’t care.]
