INT. SECURITY BOT HQ – EARLY MORNING – CUBICLE HELL
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPvU2f4DrZ
[We begin with a harsh fluorescent buzz, a stack of digital forms the height of a dishwasher, and Jason Gearman sitting at his assigned desk looking like he’s about to melt into the chair.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlEMSPxAVf
JASON (V.O.)
"Some bots get assigned to field missions. Some guard the city gates. I? I committed the crime of being mildly annoying to the chief, and now I’m in paperwork purgatory."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrwqvCJmYV
[Jason glares at his digital screen, which blinks with cheerful text: “FORM 728-C: Report Inconsistencies in Sub-Categorized Protocol Anomalies!”]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjYRiMmI5I
JASON (mutters)
"I’d rather fight five parasitized bots in my boxers."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrddIlLOIG0
[A fellow Security bot passes by, drops another file onto Jason’s already-doomed pile.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTK9KFkQhk
SECURITY BOT
“Commander says this one’s urgent. And you’re not allowed to ‘accidentally’ set it on fire this time.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4nfmFZVZh
JASON (deadpan)
“Define ‘accidentally.’”

INT. JASON’S APARTMENT CUBE – MORNING – DOMESTIC DISORDER
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsZIFnpC4Z
[Cut to the cube. The space is quiet, sunbeams filtered through mismatched metal curtains. SD-A is lounging upside-down on the couch, surrounded by snack wrappers and watching a chaotic animated series where two robots try to babysit a nuclear-powered infant.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZoXmFQicL
TV ROBOT (ON SCREEN)
“IT’S EATING THE REACTOR CORE AGAIN!!”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiJy1Sha6W
SD-A (laughs)
“That baby’s got style.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRL5l8Ss2G
[K walks into frame holding a half-open book, eyeing the scene like he’s been betrayed by reality.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhkuB6Cg5W
SD-K
“I left you alone for ten minutes.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaPPx7302K
SD-A (grinning)
“And in that time, I gained cultural insight and a new appreciation for explosive parenting.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwF07hxZU
SD-K
“…You’ve rotted your circuit board, haven’t you.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxRl41eAr9
[He sighs and flops into a chair, tapping the book in his hand.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ZXnexysx
SD-K
“This is literally the only decent thing in here. A book on Ethical Hacking for Sad Bots. I’m starting to think Jason’s taste is just ‘impulse dumpster.’”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnEH0GVvtT
[SD-A perks up, clearly inspired.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTPLyIENu6
SD-A
“Hey! Let’s build something! We’ve got, like… wires. Tools. Some weird stuff under Jason’s bed.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyn6ryL08Q
SD-K (staring at him)
“I’m not touching anything from under that bed. You want a second Liberation?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdojUESTUWg
[They both freeze at the awkward silence that suddenly hovers over the room.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1TbmXdc0G
SD-A
“…Too soon?”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkxjKZgp3b
SD-K
“Too real.”

INT. SECURITY BOT HQ – MIDDAY
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoBUU8x6k
[Jason’s still staring at the same form. His eyes are dead inside.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKVXzwUCDh
JASON (V.O.)
"Maybe if I hold still long enough, the universe will uninstall me from this timeline."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbZYiGMlrs
COMMANDER BOT (O.S.)
“GEARMAN!”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknpMs8VjI6
[Jason jumps.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4nUGIMzDx
JASON (salutes in slow motion)
“Sir, present and slowly losing will to live.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNrWKDjNWd
COMMANDER BOT
“Don’t be dramatic. You’re on Office Duty because you requisitioned a crate under someone else’s ID.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwRpcnL909
JASON
“That sounds like something a bold and resourceful agent might do.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaMtE8gf9s
COMMANDER BOT (grumbling)
“It sounds like paperwork.”

INT. JASON’S CUBE – AFTERNOON
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ6U0JkkaC
[K’s organizing scrap metal by type. SD-A is trying to balance a battery on a spinning screwdriver. It ends poorly. The screwdriver lodges itself in the ceiling.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtKFAGDIC2
SD-A
“...That was cooler in my head.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUr8sLkmY1
SD-K
“Yeah, your head’s clearly very spacious.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsKDeM9qh4
[K opens the window slightly and peers out.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hNQfspN1w
SD-K
“...You know, I don’t trust this city. The longer we’re here, the more it feels like the floor’s going to open and swallow us whole.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacumFVVj5
SD-A (shrugs)
“Could be worse. Could be paperwork.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOduPPruB7
[K nods. That’s... not wrong.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N2ebrRl0P

INT. SECURITY HQ – EVENING
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafG1V9oQoE
[Jason is finally done. Barely. His pile is cleared, his processor is fried, and his right arm keeps twitching into hammer mode out of stress.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXFy7NYQne
JASON (mumbling to himself)
“If they ask me to do inventory, I’m joining the Purifiers.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAbj1F9VkC
[He clocks out.]

INT. JASON’S CUBE – NIGHT
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrDQrBuNsJ
[The front door opens with a tired hiss. Jason stumbles in, arms full of weird snacks and battery packs.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgfdGbv6b3
JASON
“Home! Daddy’s back with questionable groceries and mild trauma.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfWiaD4yjc
[He sees A tangled in a sheet fort. K is cross-legged, looking like he aged a decade.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquNwspTPgD
SD-K
“We need an adult.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnz49rA3KJ
SD-A (muffled under blankets)
“I am an adult.”
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUedEoc2aI
[Jason drops everything, lets out a laugh, and walks into the fort like it’s completely normal.]
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZCMP54Vmn
JASON
“I missed you weirdos.”
