INT. HQ UNDERGROUND – CORE ROOM – NIGHT
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ndIW5Mcn
The patrol’s boots squelch and sink with every step as they move into a massive subterranean chamber—unnaturally carved, unnaturally alive.

The walls twitch. The floor pulses. Somewhere above, a distant groan vibrates through layers of synthetic muscle and tangled metal.

And in the center—

The Core.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0kJjWLbGV
A grotesque cube-shaped mass, about the size of a delivery truck, floats just inches off the ground. Its surface is patchworked with fleshy growths, rusted armor plates, and shards of embedded crystal—glowing in soft, pulsing purples.

Vines, thick as limbs, reach in from every direction, plugging into the core like veins to a heart. They twitch, shiver, and pump—not blood, not fuel, but something in between.

At the front of the Core:
A massive, twitching eyeball, bloodless and unblinking, rolls freely in its socket—scanning the chamber.

Not thinking.
Not hunting.
Just watching.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Oyxs0DMY
Driven by something ancient and instinctual.

The team freezes.

(quietly, almost reverent)
“That’s... it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn38QS4Vuv
JASON steps forward slowly, eyes narrowed. Steam rises from his joints—his internal coolant struggling with the oppressive heat.

JASON
“I’ve seen nightmares that look better than that.”

(voice crackling with static)
“Visual confirmed. That crystal signature matches the unknowns from parasitized site scans. You’re looking at a signal relay. Possibly... a hive node.”

“The eye’s tracking us.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFQusc6UuU
JASON
“Yeah. But it’s not doing anything. Just watching. Like it doesn’t care... or it doesn’t need to.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZi5g8PkhF
He raises his plasma rifle slowly, just in case.

SCIENTIST UNIT
“Do not engage the core directly. I repeat: do not engage. We don’t know what a direct hit will trigger.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZnAxEz658
The whole chamber rumbles.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSpKaNpcmI
A low, drawn-out howl vibrates through the vines like a living siren.

SECURITY BOT 11
“It’s reacting—!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBltrQ7d9l
JASON
“No, not to us. It’s reacting to something else. Something farther down.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE84qQzwQf
He takes one more step toward the edge of the platform surrounding the core.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU2vITqS4A
The Core’s eyeball snaps toward him.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITqam8trOk
JASON
“...Great.”
