INT. SECURITY HQ – NORTH EXECUTIVE WING – NIGHT
92Please respect copyright.PENANAUjaDvJft2U
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
92Please respect copyright.PENANAxEe6ZLExB3
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.”
92Please respect copyright.PENANADnEqAKClrm
A guttural, wet sound echoes ahead. Something drags across the ceiling.
92Please respect copyright.PENANAj5kPGLMRGj
SERGEANT R8
“Burn anything that moves. Stick to formation.”
92Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vl4XBeQD9
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
92Please respect copyright.PENANAhwDE4wnan2
D3-MINI
“Lifeform detected—closing fast, above!”
92Please respect copyright.PENANASaC0XBqtPC
From the shadows drops a parasitized bot—twisted limbs, ribcage open like wings, eyes glassy and wet with crystal sheen.
92Please respect copyright.PENANASFBqmu8XaK
JASON
“Contact!”
92Please respect copyright.PENANA2YAQeC1aqC
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.

MEDIC O7
“They’re fast. Almost... intelligent.”
92Please respect copyright.PENANAyC2TN9C0nA
JASON
“They were us. Remember that.”
92Please respect copyright.PENANAfo1FgDAPFI
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
92Please respect copyright.PENANA8c5uwpyzV9
SERGEANT R8
“Area clear for now. Prep climb harness.”
92Please respect copyright.PENANAHbtT11dOJh
D3-MINI launches micro-drones down the shaft. Footage returns: vines converging, like a nest being spun tighter.
92Please respect copyright.PENANAYgZn4v4Aro
JASON (watching feed)
“That’s not growth. That’s design.”
92Please respect copyright.PENANA46zjBztPre
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.
92Please respect copyright.PENANAbHaClWrYbr
The building moans, deep and wet, like it's breathing.
92Please respect copyright.PENANAKED46rJI3D
JASON (V.O.)
"HQ was supposed to be a fortress. Now it feels like a stomach. And we’re halfway swallowed."
