INT. SECURITY HQ – BLOWN ELEVATOR SHAFT – NIGHT
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBgtHUMdEe
The world narrows to a vertical tunnel of shadow, veins of pulsing alloy carved into the shaft like the body of a buried creature. Wind, not from the outside, but from within, breathes up at them. A chorus of distant howls echoes from below.

Cables are fired into the shaft walls—anchor claws piercing into reinforced bone-metal. Searchlights are lowered first, flooding the shaft in eerie amber glow. Flare guns are clipped to belts. Each Security unit loads a final thermal cell into their plasma rifles.

SERGEANT R8
“Check comms. Pair flare guns to tactical sensors. Mark your partners—if one falls, two catch.”

JASON tightens his harness. His optics glance across the squad—most bots silent, focused.

JASON
“Last chance to turn back. Anyone wanna quit, I’ll even lie for your bravery.”

A dry chuckle from F2, followed by a clank as he checks his launcher.

F2
“If I wanted to retire, I wouldn’t follow you, Gearman.”

They begin abseiling down in pairs, boots gently tapping the shaft walls, searchlights scanning. Below, light warps—bent by heat, by something else.

JASON descends next to D3-MINI, both gliding silently.

D3-MINI
“Estimated depth—sixty floors. Readings unstable.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI87nUsXzO0
JASON
“Is this still Central City, or are we halfway to hell?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDLiPN1x54
D3-MINI
“I was unaware hell had so many HR offices.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YNPGyh7yA
They both share a faint smirk.

THE HOWLS
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpehI2R3lV
As they go deeper, the organic howls grow louder. It’s not just sound—it rattles their armor, trembles in their joints. Something ancient and furious, echoing through layers of time and pipework.

One of the bots pauses mid-air, looking up.

SCOUT L9
“It’s... calling. Like it knows we’re here.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuibsv5HZ0
JASON
“Then let’s not keep it waiting.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8iGg1N3Rl
A final glance is exchanged across the group—not fear, but fire. Tacit trust forged by chaos. They pull their flares, ready.

The lower they go, the narrower the shaft becomes. Roots coil tighter. Lights dim.

SERGEANT R8 (over comms)
“Brace. We’re breaching the final level.”

The squad drops past the final set of metal ribs, vanishing into the mouth of a new zone—one where HQ ends and something else begins.
