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).

109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfPmFxwZsN
Alarm drones. Jason rubs his visor, checks calendar.

JASON
“Great—indoctrination o’clock.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehTC9UWWsR
K hangs upside‑down doing morning “anti‑gravity stretches.”
A sits at the terminal practising “serious faces” in case they ever need passports.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE8acUY7E6
JASON
“No explosions while I’m gone. K—supervise. A—minimum cartoons. I’ll ping if the seminar turns into a cult meeting.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MMEIMxKe4
He grabs coffee oil, nods, heads out.

INT. SECURITY HQ – MAIN AUDITORIUM – MORNING
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5W8MGmF8
A sea of Security units sits in rigid rows. A giant banner reads:
“LOYALTY REINFORCEMENT SEMINAR – Because Protocol Is Love”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCpvW3fg6j
INSTRUCTOR‑BOT (cheerfully monotone)
“Today we rediscover unquestioning devotion! Module One: Smiling With Purpose.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwVEmP3fns
Slides flash across the holo‑wall: “Smile Ratio Charts,” “Proper Saluting Angles,” “Suppressing Free Thought in 5 Easy Scripts.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVfBLysgyj
JASON (deadpan whisper to neighboring officer)
“If I smile any harder, my faceplate’ll fold.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9D8UH3Aal
NEIGHBOR OFFICER
“They gave me a stress ball shaped like HQ. I think it’s a threat.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ML64ZaRO
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.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMayPdaCnVn
During a break he texts the cube‑mates:
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwK4nggPtC

INT. AUDITORIUM – AFTERNOON
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNcFPaoSH
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.’
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Z1apzg1K
JASON (V.O.)
“Gold star won’t pay rent, but at least it gets me out of here faster.”

INT. CUBE – EVENING
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNsR2NgFsP
Door opens. Jason steps in, flings a holo‑pamphlet labelled “Feelings Are Bugs 1.0.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOBQ13aUZH
JASON
“I survived. They tried to teach me how to salute with my heart.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf5I5gIjNw
A and K high‑five behind him—A wearing roller skates, K now sporting sunglasses he liberated from the closet.
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae0v1JDOvQ
SD‑A
“We made chili‑oil stew! Non‑explosive this time.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYudfVq0P2o
SD‑K
“And we didn’t burn the neighbors.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy00kaE4ke
JASON (exhausted smile)
“Best news all day. Loyalty seminar complete; rebellion at home alive and well. Let’s eat.”
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡillvpOr1wG
The three gather round the crate‑table, spoon‑king watching with its one good eye. Friday night begins—not loyal, but together.
