INT. HQ UNDERGROUND – CORE ROOM – NIGHT
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA9N1ShPQ3
The patrol’s boots squelch and sink with every step as they move into a massive subterranean chamber—unnaturally carved, unnaturally alive.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJbKPxhgY
The walls twitch. The floor pulses. Somewhere above, a distant groan vibrates through layers of synthetic muscle and tangled metal.

And in the center—
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiTFpSdMzU
The Core.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs07Ft5fyj
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKlK6SnY62
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleCG7Pw1pv
Driven by something ancient and instinctual.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTuF1WI3Ww
The team freezes.

(quietly, almost reverent)
“That’s... it.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUEjtxC4hC
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.”

JASON
“Yeah. But it’s not doing anything. Just watching. Like it doesn’t care... or it doesn’t need to.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjtK2cfA6j
He raises his plasma rifle slowly, just in case.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwDFvdf8nD
SCIENTIST UNIT
“Do not engage the core directly. I repeat: do not engage. We don’t know what a direct hit will trigger.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPwqerHeAv
The whole chamber rumbles.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kqTgCfObU
A low, drawn-out howl vibrates through the vines like a living siren.

“It’s reacting—!”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreGbJwoq5U
JASON
“No, not to us. It’s reacting to something else. Something farther down.”
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAnO30tCls
He takes one more step toward the edge of the platform surrounding the core.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiIgnaMg9X
The Core’s eyeball snaps toward him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAsOV1FaUR
JASON
“...Great.”
