INT. SECURITY BOT HQ – MAIN OPERATIONS OFFICE
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZmcvQpNsF
[The HQ is a towering spire of reinforced metal, with corridors wide enough for tanks and elevators that judge your clearance level before they let you in. Jason steps through security scanners with a beep and a mechanical “Welcome, Officer Gearman.”]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJPwuQlKyl
JASON (murmuring)
“Yeah, yeah. Happy to be here. Really.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYYIC2ZJGr
[He walks past walls plastered with propaganda posters: “THINK LIKE A BOT, ACT LIKE A WALL,” and “EMOTIONS GET YOU DEACTIVATED.”]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaBY6pJA7V
[Jason enters the main floor: rows of desks, many still dented from the last time someone got “passionate” about protocol.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRLPv27U9l
SECURITY BOT DESK BOTS
[All variations of tall, slender bots in uniform colors. Some with visors, others with glowing faceplates. Most typing at blinding speed while sipping various fluids not approved by Central Health Regulation.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNihyxSPOB
[Jason passes a desk where a younger Security bot is poking an explosive with a pen.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47TTTr1cwX
YOUNG BOT
“Hey, Gearman, how many fingers do you lose before you get promoted?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xbucYoNPc
JASON (without looking)
“None. I just lose faith in humanity instead.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeN6rGEtyE
[He slides into his assigned cube. The desk is… sad. A cracked monitor, an old can of synthetic lube he’s been using as a paperweight, and a sticker that reads “WARNING: THIS UNIT BITES.”]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLSVH0Twj5
INT. SECURITY HQ – JASON’S OFFICE DESK
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7QftuqNBc
[Jason logs in. His screen flickers through system reports, surveillance logs, and about twelve forms labeled “INTENT TO DESTROY.” Most are paperwork related to breaches, complaints, suspicious behavior reports, or security feed reviews.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDRqvgV4kH
[He groans.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKI1nuBeRj
JASON (V.O.)
“There’s nothing quite like being a trained lethal combat unit stuck processing complaint logs about vending machine vandalism.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9SSOevhwq
[He sips his coffee-substitute from earlier. Eyes one document titled “STRANGE SIGNALS – CENTRAL CITY SECTOR 7B.”]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdtjyVzQVK
[His optics flick slightly. He opens the file… but it’s mostly redacted.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyc6eA9oM2
FILE SCREEN:
“Signal originated near abandoned industrial lines. Scrambled frequency pattern. No confirmed visual. Suggest further observation.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0E5QK4zPd
JASON (muttering)
“Huh. Great. Now even the paperwork is haunted.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2FAih50l3
[He minimizes it. Starts filling out his required daily form: “Have You Terminated Anything Today?” He checks ‘No’. A sad beep follows.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCDvhXU4R
[Just then, COMMANDER NINE-2, a massive rectangular bot with a head like a briefcase, appears on the screen above Jason’s desk.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1V6A9Dti8
COMMANDER NINE-2
“GEARMAN.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2kCAjm4i
JASON (instantly straightening)
“Reporting in, sir.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZifoPrq5Gp
COMMANDER NINE-2
“You’re late submitting Form 9-B: Emotional Containment and Threat Risk Self-Assessment.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNsyUB4LiR
JASON
“Right, yeah. I left that in my other trauma.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4I2sG1BkF
[The commander doesn’t laugh. He never does.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCdNfdgLE0
COMMANDER NINE-2
“Also, you are scheduled for a loyalty reinforcement seminar this Friday. Attendance is mandatory.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZi8PnePVX
JASON (barely hiding the existential sigh)
“Looking forward to it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZmTv2ifTp
[Commander logs off. Jason slumps back.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Vnlt9y2D
JASON (V.O.)
“I’d rather wrestle a sewer bot than go through that again.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGz4fJ7Eh9
[The clock ticks. Jason opens a side file called “SECURITY BOT HR HOTLINE – Confessions and Concerns.” He scrolls through an entry.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXhK0z9Utt
ENTRY LOG #47:
“I think my partner’s been reprogramming the coffee machine to scream.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasihIm6Vo7
JASON (deadpan)
“Same.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DdOgH6RNa
[Outside the office window, the city looms like a slow-breathing beast.]
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB16clxArjX
[Jason sighs. Clicks into another document. His fingers move on autopilot.]
