INT. JASON’S CUBE – EVENING
19Please respect copyright.PENANAVj7i3IFSNi
[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.”]
19Please respect copyright.PENANAzWDeCk3PwG
JASON
“…Okay. That’s actually impressive.”
(steps inside, looks around)
“You got structural support in here? Light sources? Did you program mood lighting?”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAtUEFMkb8YQ
SD-A (grinning proudly)
“Call me Fort Architect A.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAWhwblVilMf
SD-K (deadpan, flipping a broken spoon in one hand)
“I call it ‘evidence for Jason’s upcoming eviction.’”
19Please respect copyright.PENANA8ivAPXU4gT
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.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANA5BQZjQH5Ze
SD-K (suspicious)
“Define.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANA9AVKEIl2dV
JASON (smiling too wide)
“Movement. Sunlight. Not melting into the furniture.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAgQpwwdN0li
SD-A
“Yay! Like a picnic?”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAkvQ9kG7fm6
JASON
“More like ‘violently graceful jog around abandoned land.’” (leans closer to K and whispers, smugly)
“Gotta walk your dog every day.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAwTZVc0h133
[He dashes away just in time as K’s retractable blade whips through the air, slicing the snack flag off the fort.]
19Please respect copyright.PENANAsxklZy9wlD
SD-K (growling)
“I will literally file you into spare parts.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAYAyaouc8VF
JASON (O.S.)
“Love you too, cupcake!”

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – OPEN WASTELAND
19Please respect copyright.PENANAjaw2ao5VlG
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.PENANAiVwHrck1dB
JASON (stretching, servo joints clicking)
“Ah, smell that? That’s the aroma of no paperwork and no neighbors judging your choice of sleepwear.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANA9WWSbd4yla
SD-A (sniffing)
“I smell burnt cable and old data towers.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANA4xI3xfdxZG
SD-K (scanning the area)
“…Perfect place to dump a body. Is this your plan?”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAxoe65ZuyDP
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.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAlhrKuI4tED
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.PENANAfAaoqvTGv7
JASON (calling back)
“Whoever reaches that busted satellite dish first wins!”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAXWUuVrynFz
SD-A (zooming)
“GOLD AND GLORY FOR THE FORT KING!”
19Please respect copyright.PENANA1yioffuMPf
SD-K (grumbling)
“I can’t believe I’m exercising with my own hit list.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAAXnVLLDPd5
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.PENANARWxaORtqaZ
JASON
“Still got it.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANANtfFNwmWWl
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.PENANAgP2VEbuAmi
SD-A
“Okay, I love outside. This is fun. This is weirdly fun.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAETVYmd3IPT
SD-K
“...It’s disturbing how fast I’m adapting to this.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANARH3Mu9lYLL

19Please respect copyright.PENANALQLjlNrbfY
[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.]
19Please respect copyright.PENANA0LQl07Wxjy
JASON (quietly, but smiling)
“Look at us. Just three freaks playing tag in a post-apocalyptic parking lot.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAbt61F9hYvj
SD-A
“I’d put that on a postcard.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANAyExKWAZO4L
SD-K
“…You’re all broken.”
19Please respect copyright.PENANALHKKBJ2xbp
JASON (grinning)
“Takes one to vibe with the rest.”
