Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
324Please respect copyright.PENANA0saNF26FXY
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.
324Please respect copyright.PENANABW2UyI5NOD
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
324Please respect copyright.PENANAeieSQsLeUA
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAlKtgjgdFDg
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.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAgrtJChFtmt
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAHJzj88baEE
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAHhYHHCUdz1
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAKqKXMiMFWd
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
324Please respect copyright.PENANAPPZRayp9LK
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.

> "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."
324Please respect copyright.PENANAFS1W0F1Y3H
324Please respect copyright.PENANAM6pwfKWKMA
324Please respect copyright.PENANAWHK1mQ84Nm
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
324Please respect copyright.PENANAE7mevzuSEs
The memory sliced through him.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAOiGpAogvaY
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAa8RZZri1nC
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
324Please respect copyright.PENANADbup1DYNSq
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
324Please respect copyright.PENANAADialo77gu
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAxMYKE0EQ8w
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAIujUgfM4vA
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
324Please respect copyright.PENANAYoKfgt08oU
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAGReQZC0bPn
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAGafN3r5Qsy
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAYmp4c7rqtp
324Please respect copyright.PENANAxcMe07ynfN
324Please respect copyright.PENANAjzIsIcqHmo
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
324Please respect copyright.PENANAessljAFmNd
“Vikrant.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAxvSdrgZK1J
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
324Please respect copyright.PENANAMEctaIfSbJ
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.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAtAt0UIiyiC
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
324Please respect copyright.PENANACSjDwR7ZA2
> “Still alive, are you?”
324Please respect copyright.PENANApblJQj9CRw
324Please respect copyright.PENANAkAe0CX58lC
324Please respect copyright.PENANAH11JfAoh5N
He turned.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAANIS2P8HKw
Vikrant.
324Please respect copyright.PENANA1hV35aykWQ
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAFcUaUihrgT
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANA0gHWPvCoPp
324Please respect copyright.PENANAOHZPwu8DvG
324Please respect copyright.PENANA1LW9TSUoqD
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAeEi3PbvNmk
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAKhj8nIU1Kw
324Please respect copyright.PENANAqCzZmaNzBX
324Please respect copyright.PENANA7rEGkLj3ZM
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAM3ClfnYR56
The screen flickered, then stopped.
324Please respect copyright.PENANA8BDZ0kXP82
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAkF4GeK28YO
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
324Please respect copyright.PENANA6VyRTvnBk1
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
324Please respect copyright.PENANAGgAGJZxtt5
Back at the CBI.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAU3G38OP4jG
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAhHCpuItTFZ
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
324Please respect copyright.PENANA8eyOocHD5A
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAbS03MHLjtn
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
324Please respect copyright.PENANAW9x65cru5D
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
324Please respect copyright.PENANAKPVsb97iYo
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
