INT. JASON’S CUBE – DEAD OF NIGHT
62Please respect copyright.PENANAu4whT8BwET
A thunder‑crack blast rattles the entire building—glassware trembles, spoon‑king face‑plants. Jason’s optics snap bright.

JASON
“That is not a curfew drone.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANASXMZSg7lw3
His texter chirps a high‑priority alert. Screen flashes red:
62Please respect copyright.PENANA2qKgxcvYRn
> HQ PRIORITY:
“UNAUTHORIZED INVASION – CORE FACILITY BREACHED.
ALL SECURITY UNITS—RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANArqEWiRQ1mY

Jason vaults out of bed. SD‑A bolts upright, trench‑coat tangled. SD‑K drops from the ceiling, already battle‑ready.
62Please respect copyright.PENANABNcoN1B0Zs
JASON (fast)
“Stay here. Lock down the cube. If things go south—fly north.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANAakfbubT2eP
SD‑K
“We’re not good at staying.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANAGxZD5PGVtu
JASON
“Not a debate.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANA6jTdi3weWG
He slings his rail‑axe combo onto his back, pockets a spare mag, and slams out the door.

EXT. CENTRAL CITY STREETS – NIGHT
62Please respect copyright.PENANAnPp8R8hFhA
Chaos brews. Labor bots cluster at windows, worried voices buzzing.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAZbMz5138Zb
PASSERBY BOT #1
“—sounded like the wall cracked!”
62Please respect copyright.PENANAws6zRnS97h
PASSERBY BOT #2
“I saw a rupture of metal—like it was…growing.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANAchSKdyWxoe
Jason sprints, boots hammering the pavement. Sirens wail; maglev lines flicker offline overhead.

EXT. SECURITY HQ PLAZA – MINUTES LATER
62Please respect copyright.PENANAryNT8d4umR
He skids to a stop—and freezes.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ySzykpt9
The HQ tower—once a cold monument of steel—is skewered by an enormous organic‑metal spire. It twists skyward like a black thorn, pulsing with dull crimson light. Fractured plating lies everywhere; flames lick broken windows. Smaller vines of living alloy creep from the spire’s base, fusing with wreckage, growing by the second.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAGyFQWRejwR
Security bots form barricades, weapons out, but hesitate—no clear target, only the impossible structure humming like a heartbeat.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAX0s3TKJfA6
JASON (under his breath)
“…Well, shit.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANA65iRlL02j0
Commander Nine‑2’s voice booms over external speakers—tinny, strained.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA9bgwM6sXov
COMMANDER NINE‑2 (PA)
“Contain the perimeter! No one enters HQ core until we identify that thing!”
62Please respect copyright.PENANAlb6TX08lnK
Jason grips his axe‑handle, visor reflecting the monstrous tower.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAovtG47Xkvk
JASON (V.O.)
“Organic metal… parasitic alloy… just leveled up.”
62Please respect copyright.PENANAKa0LhoY7gs
He advances toward the line, ready to join the fight—eyes locked on the spire that pierces the night sky.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAq599do8s2V
FADE OUT.
