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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsQNw18N2J
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOyfUxDPlU
K hangs upside‑down doing morning “anti‑gravity stretches.”
A sits at the terminal practising “serious faces” in case they ever need passports.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqt0IjdbHu
JASON
“No explosions while I’m gone. K—supervise. A—minimum cartoons. I’ll ping if the seminar turns into a cult meeting.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocu0QwKTKW
He grabs coffee oil, nods, heads out.

INT. SECURITY HQ – MAIN AUDITORIUM – MORNING
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAI62cmo63
A sea of Security units sits in rigid rows. A giant banner reads:
“LOYALTY REINFORCEMENT SEMINAR – Because Protocol Is Love”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfgocOnrBY
INSTRUCTOR‑BOT (cheerfully monotone)
“Today we rediscover unquestioning devotion! Module One: Smiling With Purpose.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96dECRFS9m
Slides flash across the holo‑wall: “Smile Ratio Charts,” “Proper Saluting Angles,” “Suppressing Free Thought in 5 Easy Scripts.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsolM2ZZhTA
JASON (deadpan whisper to neighboring officer)
“If I smile any harder, my faceplate’ll fold.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDtUGvoAgN
NEIGHBOR OFFICER
“They gave me a stress ball shaped like HQ. I think it’s a threat.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJTNcDObWY
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ477pDqfkKS
During a break he texts the cube‑mates:
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1IguQA2mB

A replies with an ASCII spoon‑king.
K replies with a single word: “Resist.”

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.’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX2u8TwLw0
JASON (V.O.)
“Gold star won’t pay rent, but at least it gets me out of here faster.”

Door opens. Jason steps in, flings a holo‑pamphlet labelled “Feelings Are Bugs 1.0.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuUtn2U94D
JASON
“I survived. They tried to teach me how to salute with my heart.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEZzN6nssI
A and K high‑five behind him—A wearing roller skates, K now sporting sunglasses he liberated from the closet.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyxGj8qiPT
SD‑A
“We made chili‑oil stew! Non‑explosive this time.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscQsjBn4oo
SD‑K
“And we didn’t burn the neighbors.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8DXxLLkQU
JASON (exhausted smile)
“Best news all day. Loyalty seminar complete; rebellion at home alive and well. Let’s eat.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWF8gCcbxp
The three gather round the crate‑table, spoon‑king watching with its one good eye. Friday night begins—not loyal, but together.
