INT. JASON’S CUBE – DEAD OF NIGHT
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHzVTuRcOby
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.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHXDFQk6ADG
His texter chirps a high‑priority alert. Screen flashes red:
100Please respect copyright.PENANAeIKuTQ4gm9
> HQ PRIORITY:
“UNAUTHORIZED INVASION – CORE FACILITY BREACHED.
ALL SECURITY UNITS—RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAIauAxTR6UF

100Please respect copyright.PENANAOLe2DxK4K5
Jason vaults out of bed. SD‑A bolts upright, trench‑coat tangled. SD‑K drops from the ceiling, already battle‑ready.

JASON (fast)
“Stay here. Lock down the cube. If things go south—fly north.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAL0B86RlTix
SD‑K
“We’re not good at staying.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZuEV5DfDXQ
JASON
“Not a debate.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAME7zfceBCf
He slings his rail‑axe combo onto his back, pockets a spare mag, and slams out the door.

EXT. CENTRAL CITY STREETS – NIGHT
100Please respect copyright.PENANAO0u3NDwprx
Chaos brews. Labor bots cluster at windows, worried voices buzzing.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAqNH0oY766K
PASSERBY BOT #1
“—sounded like the wall cracked!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA7IcS02yvE0
PASSERBY BOT #2
“I saw a rupture of metal—like it was…growing.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA4riKV2XmNg
Jason sprints, boots hammering the pavement. Sirens wail; maglev lines flicker offline overhead.

EXT. SECURITY HQ PLAZA – MINUTES LATER
100Please respect copyright.PENANArrPX1u3uhi
He skids to a stop—and freezes.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAQxV9Jd1wBa
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAkpm539XhBI
Security bots form barricades, weapons out, but hesitate—no clear target, only the impossible structure humming like a heartbeat.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHoQQrJOG4S
JASON (under his breath)
“…Well, shit.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA48J6Bea21w
Commander Nine‑2’s voice booms over external speakers—tinny, strained.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAoiW6CfgSBQ
COMMANDER NINE‑2 (PA)
“Contain the perimeter! No one enters HQ core until we identify that thing!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA3Tv57RzPdr
Jason grips his axe‑handle, visor reflecting the monstrous tower.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA8UfFNgoqiF
JASON (V.O.)
“Organic metal… parasitic alloy… just leveled up.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAU4SfQCZD22
He advances toward the line, ready to join the fight—eyes locked on the spire that pierces the night sky.
100Please respect copyright.PENANANHlzYVkfDZ
FADE OUT.
