INT. SECURITY HQ – NORTH EXECUTIVE WING – NIGHT
200Please respect copyright.PENANAU9JEHGiyGo
The lights are mostly dead. What’s left flickers against walls fused with pulsing organic alloy, metal veined with muscle-like tendrils. The floor squelches under boots. Heat haze ripples from the plasma weapons.

ADVANCING
200Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xdrbd6MQ5
Jason leads the team through twisted hallways. His rifle hums low, barrel glowing faint orange.

SCOUT D3-MINI
“Corridor map corrupted. Hallways changed since last scan. It’s shifting.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAX4ZnM1ijAJ
A guttural, wet sound echoes ahead. Something drags across the ceiling.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjwarpTJVud
SERGEANT R8
“Burn anything that moves. Stick to formation.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAkYgHkoWXyj
HEAVY F2 steps forward—launches a wave of flame. The vines along the walls shriek, retracting violently into cracks like burnt nerves.

They pass an office door halfway sealed shut by alloy. Through the glass, the silhouette of an infected employee twitches, fused to her desk. Her eyes are bright violet.

ENCOUNTER
200Please respect copyright.PENANAHrnDoFOTf6
D3-MINI
“Lifeform detected—closing fast, above!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAUcW40fTvg9
From the shadows drops a parasitized bot—twisted limbs, ribcage open like wings, eyes glassy and wet with crystal sheen.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAtQKrmwOHhE
JASON
“Contact!”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAbBFOtOZwxa
F2 blasts it midair. A second comes from the flank—Jason raises his rifle, fires a precise bolt through its core. It melts inward, screaming in static.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAxKerj5XIIG
MEDIC O7
“They’re fast. Almost... intelligent.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAOSLcoUUw7b
JASON
“They were us. Remember that.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANANbCCF6RVTZ
They reach the elevator shaft, blown open from inside. The walls are coated in dark resin, pulsing slowly. Something climbs far below, but the view’s obscured.

PAUSE & RECON
200Please respect copyright.PENANA5YnZLOB3UI
SERGEANT R8
“Area clear for now. Prep climb harness.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANAcXdAslG2cb
D3-MINI launches micro-drones down the shaft. Footage returns: vines converging, like a nest being spun tighter.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAjzNuJtmDoS
JASON (watching feed)
“That’s not growth. That’s design.”
200Please respect copyright.PENANA95uKO00aic
R8
“Copy that. We’re getting closer to whatever’s controlling this mess.”

Suddenly—feedback shrieks through their comms. All lights flicker red, then die. Only the glow of plasma weapons remain.
200Please respect copyright.PENANATRGa0k64BI
The building moans, deep and wet, like it's breathing.
200Please respect copyright.PENANAWEUMzjtpjT
JASON (V.O.)
"HQ was supposed to be a fortress. Now it feels like a stomach. And we’re halfway swallowed."
