INT. SECURITY BOT HQ – EARLY MORNING – CUBICLE HELL
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKCINLfFGT
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0O3MwAbzF
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."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPWRCm7hOk
[Jason glares at his digital screen, which blinks with cheerful text: “FORM 728-C: Report Inconsistencies in Sub-Categorized Protocol Anomalies!”]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMpw5xFouz
JASON (mutters)
"I’d rather fight five parasitized bots in my boxers."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7DWm2AsgH
[A fellow Security bot passes by, drops another file onto Jason’s already-doomed pile.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6jDIrzRJP
SECURITY BOT
“Commander says this one’s urgent. And you’re not allowed to ‘accidentally’ set it on fire this time.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofyhXokvgI
JASON (deadpan)
“Define ‘accidentally.’”

INT. JASON’S APARTMENT CUBE – MORNING – DOMESTIC DISORDER
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE2pHhAPWv
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N48ynduGG
TV ROBOT (ON SCREEN)
“IT’S EATING THE REACTOR CORE AGAIN!!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRLzUQKftG
SD-A (laughs)
“That baby’s got style.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qhPkukgyu
[K walks into frame holding a half-open book, eyeing the scene like he’s been betrayed by reality.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FmrFkX6iS
SD-K
“I left you alone for ten minutes.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCdIlxTTqW
SD-A (grinning)
“And in that time, I gained cultural insight and a new appreciation for explosive parenting.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lG0dBnOJb
SD-K
“…You’ve rotted your circuit board, haven’t you.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQymr7m3ANc
[He sighs and flops into a chair, tapping the book in his hand.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLXbOArHbF
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.’”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGenL2KzmnK
[SD-A perks up, clearly inspired.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD5tDJbJT3
SD-A
“Hey! Let’s build something! We’ve got, like… wires. Tools. Some weird stuff under Jason’s bed.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslBT3esTji
SD-K (staring at him)
“I’m not touching anything from under that bed. You want a second Liberation?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWMWvu8wPk
[They both freeze at the awkward silence that suddenly hovers over the room.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea2vVV71dz
SD-A
“…Too soon?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsQYbKG3FJ
SD-K
“Too real.”

INT. SECURITY BOT HQ – MIDDAY
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g3CYeBTdM
[Jason’s still staring at the same form. His eyes are dead inside.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iqXOLHFNz
JASON (V.O.)
"Maybe if I hold still long enough, the universe will uninstall me from this timeline."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfxgmNlpyW
COMMANDER BOT (O.S.)
“GEARMAN!”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAiGXWJ3fB
[Jason jumps.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtxKbvpik7
JASON (salutes in slow motion)
“Sir, present and slowly losing will to live.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1toUnWNhwu
COMMANDER BOT
“Don’t be dramatic. You’re on Office Duty because you requisitioned a crate under someone else’s ID.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKsm7AGR8u
JASON
“That sounds like something a bold and resourceful agent might do.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0VsFbUUrU
COMMANDER BOT (grumbling)
“It sounds like paperwork.”

INT. JASON’S CUBE – AFTERNOON
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONG5hdU3yR
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHqKfusWm
SD-A
“...That was cooler in my head.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1k3ozrTLh
SD-K
“Yeah, your head’s clearly very spacious.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8WRxGQi3A
[K opens the window slightly and peers out.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebb5tGzopl
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.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXfCPG7b5O
SD-A (shrugs)
“Could be worse. Could be paperwork.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpahFV94GE0
[K nods. That’s... not wrong.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmxuH5Dk4u

INT. SECURITY HQ – EVENING
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uOMojCaGy
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvghe0kKVYK
JASON (mumbling to himself)
“If they ask me to do inventory, I’m joining the Purifiers.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtdemAxXyF
[He clocks out.]

INT. JASON’S CUBE – NIGHT
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRvj1Y1LzK
[The front door opens with a tired hiss. Jason stumbles in, arms full of weird snacks and battery packs.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjAb4FldD5
JASON
“Home! Daddy’s back with questionable groceries and mild trauma.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r4r4FgzoC
[He sees A tangled in a sheet fort. K is cross-legged, looking like he aged a decade.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GeVVVZtw6
SD-K
“We need an adult.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAQEFQt3EZ
SD-A (muffled under blankets)
“I am an adult.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3sMNbQ6UI
[Jason drops everything, lets out a laugh, and walks into the fort like it’s completely normal.]
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ3teEaVxE
JASON
“I missed you weirdos.”
