INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
20Please respect copyright.PENANAR5ydL5VOCy
[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.”]
20Please respect copyright.PENANA5YrcZK71bT
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAH6BSwM1f4k
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxhZ5qbYnIm
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAuKaxM3tHqy
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAHpBSpdTOkB
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8XKFj55Jke
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAW5huN73qWA
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAG3ZnmkUO98
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAtXW1YIiv3a
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfifeOyNyWe
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA5O2WVjMCbM
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8XD5eEWjSR
[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.]
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3TfqIPl6A2
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ63kqCRd3
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsugmN9wg2a
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7gZChBnh1P
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAHMWdKwSUQd
[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.]
20Please respect copyright.PENANAltDWNXqGpb
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAqESDdxTc0m
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAGbp1cAIwMj
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvoea3wqB7t
[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.]
20Please respect copyright.PENANATIecajfohZ
JASON
“Still got it.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAtGKOu1dx6H
[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.]
20Please respect copyright.PENANApJqK4AkwQm
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQh9AG3NY9q
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAA5MNrUt11X
20Please respect copyright.PENANA9J8IqDVCzm

20Please respect copyright.PENANA9AUUVfLaV7
[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.]
20Please respect copyright.PENANA98cjaE2iuK
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVCmKqWvXLd
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKtcGYlmKUj
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7CiyAFCWO7
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
