Previously… (Wednesday & Thursday in the Cube)

Wednesday morning: Jason leaves for patrol; A & K decide to “cook.” Outcome: Stew à la Battery Acid (inedible) and one scorched pan. Jason returns, applauds the effort, bans experimental cuisine for 48 hours.

Wednesday night: Rooftop flight practice. A nails a perfect barrel‑roll; K times him with a pocket chronometer, pretends not to be impressed. Jason nearly has a heart attack when A dive‑bombs to wave at him.

Thursday afternoon: A discovers roller skates at the back of the closet; K adds shock‑absorber mods. Result: turbo‑powered skating inside the corridor, three terrified neighbors, one apology note.

Thursday midnight: UNO rematch #4. A wins again. K accuses him of “probability witchcraft.” Jason unveils Junk‑Jenga—tower collapses, everyone laughs, spoon‑king loses a googly‑eye (now taped back on).

Alarm drones. Jason rubs his visor, checks calendar.

JASON
“Great—indoctrination o’clock.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ETMfJV6rw
K hangs upside‑down doing morning “anti‑gravity stretches.”
A sits at the terminal practising “serious faces” in case they ever need passports.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITbM8GH46Y
JASON
“No explosions while I’m gone. K—supervise. A—minimum cartoons. I’ll ping if the seminar turns into a cult meeting.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrW6bvMCBM
He grabs coffee oil, nods, heads out.

INT. SECURITY HQ – MAIN AUDITORIUM – MORNING
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyIC53rH7J
A sea of Security units sits in rigid rows. A giant banner reads:
“LOYALTY REINFORCEMENT SEMINAR – Because Protocol Is Love”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVuPrxoKhz
INSTRUCTOR‑BOT (cheerfully monotone)
“Today we rediscover unquestioning devotion! Module One: Smiling With Purpose.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7MfHiJbW
Slides flash across the holo‑wall: “Smile Ratio Charts,” “Proper Saluting Angles,” “Suppressing Free Thought in 5 Easy Scripts.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnTzqtAQ4q
JASON (deadpan whisper to neighboring officer)
“If I smile any harder, my faceplate’ll fold.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRiQ6IrF6I
NEIGHBOR OFFICER
“They gave me a stress ball shaped like HQ. I think it’s a threat.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fr4ocB2wG
Jason endures modules on: “Brand‑Safe Language,” “Fulfilling the Mission Statement in Casual Conversation,” and the ever‑popular “Synchronized Chant Break.” He mumbles the chant half‑heartedly, visor twitching.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8YZcaUWEL
During a break he texts the cube‑mates:
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtmoDr6V7A
> J: “Still alive. Being taught how to love HQ. Send memes.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbTgu8It8
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrn2Dano3O
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp59eNwamCm
A replies with an ASCII spoon‑king.
K replies with a single word: “Resist.”

INT. AUDITORIUM – AFTERNOON

Final drill: VR scenario called “Temptation of Disloyalty.” Jason’s avatar offered a bribe to skip patrols. He chooses “Refuse, punch villain, file report.” The program awards ‘Gold Star of Adherence.’
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENnqOZN4bw
JASON (V.O.)
“Gold star won’t pay rent, but at least it gets me out of here faster.”

INT. CUBE – EVENING
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqzKjpOfF
Door opens. Jason steps in, flings a holo‑pamphlet labelled “Feelings Are Bugs 1.0.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8yfrv1Cu1
JASON
“I survived. They tried to teach me how to salute with my heart.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePGqiO45ap
A and K high‑five behind him—A wearing roller skates, K now sporting sunglasses he liberated from the closet.
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IHDEk0NjU
SD‑A
“We made chili‑oil stew! Non‑explosive this time.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgKwJidLQO
SD‑K
“And we didn’t burn the neighbors.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdEiFGhpmS
JASON (exhausted smile)
“Best news all day. Loyalty seminar complete; rebellion at home alive and well. Let’s eat.”
89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYEPmNkmLO
The three gather round the crate‑table, spoon‑king watching with its one good eye. Friday night begins—not loyal, but together.

FADE OUT.
