INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
95Please respect copyright.PENANAvCo2Itbl7F
[Jason’s head pops up from under a blanket corner, observing SD-A’s fort—complete with hanging wires, glowing snack wrappers, and a flag that reads “A-ZONE: TRESPASSERS WILL BE HUGGED.”]
95Please respect copyright.PENANA0vTZmAMxV9
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA2FXshVG8OG
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA9sM4XMbe4J
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAUf7DEaxHjP
JASON
“Alright, listen up, weirdos.” (claps hands)
“You’ve been cooped up all day. I’ve been tortured by spreadsheets. It’s time for—brace yourselves—outdoor activities.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA9wJXzUvqUa
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAAgp4n05BTt
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAUI8ojvCJjE
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAfGB2Oogq3W
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA4WWUpcLE38
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
95Please respect copyright.PENANA7j6tb4FG2K
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAOPWdcikiOH
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
95Please respect copyright.PENANA6BBXI2WqhF
[The trio stands in a vast, mostly barren terrain just outside Central City’s reinforced walls. Old vehicles rust into the dirt. Distant wind turbines creak slowly. The air hums with a peaceful quiet—a rare calm.]
95Please respect copyright.PENANAmb8JkZxvyb
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA2bV1EzfuQ4
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAGdlOeM5MNU
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
95Please respect copyright.PENANADJXgIbMAj0
JASON
“If it was, I’d bring marshmallows. Now come on, let’s see how fast you two are when you’re not trying to kill something.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAM4BQCmXHaZ
[He takes off at a light jog. SD-A excitedly follows, doing weird cartwheels and flips like he’s trying to impress gravity. K lags behind for a second, then sighs and activates his stabilizers to catch up.]
95Please respect copyright.PENANAyEfOnTZM4r
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA059duomuWh
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAWY8Yv4D7BD
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAjS9aqEXXFz
[They leap over rubble, duck under collapsed scaffolding, and make an all-out sprint. Jason’s arm transforms mid-run into a grappling hook, yanking him up onto a ledge before switching back with a smug spin.]
95Please respect copyright.PENANAPkHhOiAZq0
JASON
“Still got it.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4M02xbrol
[SD-K lands beside him with an annoyed scowl. SD-A follows, slightly out of breath, but smiling so big it’s practically a flashlight beam.]
95Please respect copyright.PENANAjMMrhB09lA
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAilkXBtBefq
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAoKkLcZiANX
95Please respect copyright.PENANAphFKOBLveP

95Please respect copyright.PENANAt9qXZzxENY
[They stand together on a high spot overlooking the far edge of Central City, neon lights twinkling in the distance. The wind howls past like an old memory.]
95Please respect copyright.PENANAvFD3DLoxAY
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAZplI9oiVWY
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAUrtW9rUOMe
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
95Please respect copyright.PENANAVy7GmtJkQp
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
