Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
110Please respect copyright.PENANAR66a4LX7D3
A dim cubicle glowed under the pale light of a dying ceiling lamp. Amidst scattered case files, broken pens, and empty coffee cups, sat Yuvaan—unmoving, sleepless, haunted. His eyes weren’t red from exhaustion; they were burning with something deeper… obsession.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoR7OANpvFl
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5AipAcfR10
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlGYPX4hB16
The file wasn’t meant to be there. A rookie officer had accidentally dropped it on his desk, not knowing it belonged in the archive vault. But fate had other plans.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcTKyPWHpcx
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6qJAxWRcPO
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMMQ6drmjwe
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOhEwvN79pJ
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJfSp9qEhaR
An elite camp hidden under snow. Inside a tent, warmth flickered from a projector as Mr. Vaidya, clad in a black coat, addressed a group of cadets.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPDSc2q6sbM
> "Memory is a weapon," he said coldly. "And wielding it? That takes something… inhuman. There was only one boy who could retain 300 unlinked symbols without error."
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuHcsjSrQNp
110Please respect copyright.PENANARI3vzfx0An
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHuQGeUwlFd
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
110Please respect copyright.PENANACnXPtawDZJ
The memory sliced through him.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQWwfM2MmFi
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hc8gksYzr
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAx0fUHWdPgw
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJbTAsMkkVH
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgedsmuocHR
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANADCun3Ictwj
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2GkXp01LWI
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAriw0OB15Ij
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmu2YsWUrJ6
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANApLevza1URB
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYZY01MUUfg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGCO6UIhjr7
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
110Please respect copyright.PENANAD5X2kyXf9Z
“Vikrant.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFkwReKObiZ
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYEGMEzrTMR
A black cab screeched to a halt in front of a decrepit basement. Flickering tube lights. Cigarette smoke coiling through the stale air. Old monitors buzzing with static. The past lived here… unwanted, unspoken.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOaaESlvBXa
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwMqh4eaw5Y
> “Still alive, are you?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcTeYb4UT6p
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZYvDyzCjD8
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFLIUptK47g
He turned.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZgEVy9UUej
Vikrant.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVBhF9vo21F
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjhCiuNE2a5
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8q4eSZftLE
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwBd1lRNOvc
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqCHLDxHHUU
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAS40XrapNXf
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjjw0UbolQ5
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmbs4hR36rt
110Please respect copyright.PENANApm0NunQXB0
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
110Please respect copyright.PENANArfd4Dinal8
The screen flickered, then stopped.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwAjqGQrx85
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
110Please respect copyright.PENANABzgCplSrHw
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVCi7TKnRrB
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoVpKUfSU5M
Back at the CBI.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIb1O6dysZP
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAf6S3To0vBR
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8H9HdU02FW
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAy5rhLw3G9h
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
110Please respect copyright.PENANABEyAUhOE4I
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANANq7zV6WBL3
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
