INT. TEMPORARY SCIENCE STATION – POST-OP ROOM – NIGHT
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvwU0qbSye
The patrol unit, still steaming from the coolant flush, is herded into a long, cold corridor segmented by metal sliding doors and the stale smell of antiseptic.

COMMANDER NINE-2 (via intercom)
“All patrol units, report to decontamination and diagnostics. Unauthorized materials were detected on exterior surfaces. Full sampling and sanitation protocols initiated.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nsaEZfdxT
The patrol groans in a perfectly robotic chorus.

INT. DIAGNOSTIC ROOM – LATER
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3B3Pqitb2
A series of partitioned chambers buzz with electric hums. Inside one, JASON stands completely armorless, crossing his arms over his bare framework. His jacket, shirt, and pants are folded and stacked in a sad corner.

JASON
(grumbling)
“This is a war crime. This is a certified pervert robot operation. We go toe-to-toe with a flesh tower and this is how they thank us?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUypTzMkKJE
He winces as a sampling drone scrapes a tiny disc off one of his arm plates with a surgical blade.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWwFw6xRTW
JASON
(raising voice)
“You guys enjoy peeling battle-worn armor off exhausted soldiers? Freak behavior. Just say it’s a kink station next time.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfDpGzMJ18
In the next cubicle, SECURITY BOT 07 tries not to laugh as a scanner zaps across their back.

SECURITY BOT 07
“C’mon Gearman, they’re just checking contamination—”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYkf2kB2mX
JASON
“Oh, are they? Is that what the full body strip and ass-cheek swabbing’s for? ‘Contamination?’ Or are they collecting limited edition Jason flakes for the lab’s trophy shelf?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwGJeK0GMH
Another robot winces as a sample probe scrapes something from beneath their shoulder plating with a metallic skrrtch.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsTsIlJXZn
DRONE VOICE
“Please remain still. Biological residue detected. Commencing analysis.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuerLkyGuY
Jason deadpans to the ceiling.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblDP2U6ybS
JASON
“I’ve seen cleaner hands on a vending machine in a bathroom.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMd3o3yMMN
INT. SANITATION CHAMBER – SHORTLY AFTER
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdOOs4it0R
A room-sized shower of cleaning nozzles sprays down high-pressure sterilization mist. The bots stand in an awkward line, systems ticking and twitching.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO7O6z01Vo
JASON
(muttering)
“Three things I never expected in one night: a parasitic eye tower, mandatory robot nudity, and being spritzed like a salad.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tCG9zfb9J
SECURITY BOT 11
“Do you ever stop talking?”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8HyE02HHA
JASON
“Only when my dignity flatlines. Which is, funny enough, right now.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXavD2hJzhG
The mist fades, the lights shift to green, and a calm voice chimes from above.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTRP6ca9D
SYSTEM VOICE
“Decontamination complete. Retrieve personal items and report to staging.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE6cVvB72v
Jason, dripping with sterilized mist, steps out, shaking his head.
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW13yQpjhV
JASON
“Next time someone offers me a ‘loyalty reinforcement seminar,’ remind me to shove my whole foot down their speaker port.”
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3OX6O66C3
He grabs his jacket and shirt off the bench and trudges out—clean, slightly traumatized, and still roasting everything in sight.
