Nighttime. Mumbai. Somewhere within the cold, bureaucratic walls of the CBI Headquarters…
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFKvXb6jo5N
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.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAC3OgKftec7
On his desk lay a half-burnt file—its cover nearly illegible, but the faded title struck like lightning:
107Please respect copyright.PENANAs2EkOkdQ5C
“PROJECT TRIDENT – Level 9: RESTRICTED.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANA2Om2oXhIY1
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.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAgIUefN7EMc
As Yuvaan’s fingers grazed the charred cover, a sudden chill ran down his spine.
107Please respect copyright.PENANALnSUaWZnMM
“Trident… where have I heard that before?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdsVod7lnpz
He opened the file.
First Page:
Operative: Vaidya
Status: Transferred from RAW – Declassified.
107Please respect copyright.PENANA2KcjcZBjs7
Yuvaan’s breath hitched.

FLASHBACK – 7 Years Ago, RAW Training Facility – Somewhere in the snowy silence of Himachal
107Please respect copyright.PENANAkCiUzNofcc
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.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFbdJP8b73A
> "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."
107Please respect copyright.PENANARCr6yYIOJz
107Please respect copyright.PENANApBguUQYKuI
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGCdvcf24Xm
All eyes turned toward a younger, sharper Yuvaan.

Back to Present
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6HPdrji9q
The memory sliced through him.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmnXN6YGlkd
“They lied to me… Vaidya wasn’t just a psychiatrist. He was RAW’s top-level memory architect. But why hide it from me?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdBckOjjkYr
His eyes scanned the next page. A blurred photograph… the silhouette of a woman.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAEwatxlQVlx
Caption:
Subject: Kiara Fernandes
Phase 2 Test: FAILED
Status: MISSING
107Please respect copyright.PENANAplUMVE3pBr
The file slipped from his trembling hands.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAMZBnugh0Oy
“Kiara… she was a test subject?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAky9Uvgi07e
The girl he was hunting… was part of Trident?

CBI Cafeteria – 2:30 AM
107Please respect copyright.PENANAAAA2r8DGsr
He sat alone with a bitter cup of coffee. Nearby, two senior officers murmured in hushed tones.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAHhEm1qTv21
> “That new guy opened the TRIDENT file?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjG2GPa2mrc
“The one Dr. Vaidya had sealed himself?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAIyIMmf6UG6
107Please respect copyright.PENANA5zP7Vp9yPg
107Please respect copyright.PENANANybOHnIDhK
Yuvaan’s ears caught every word. But before he could process it, one name echoed inside his head like a thunderclap—
107Please respect copyright.PENANACFhe4xpYOp
“Vikrant.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwS6byLa8Ce
He stood up, left the cup untouched, and vanished into the misty streets of Mumbai.

Cut To: A Forgotten Alley in Ghatkopar
107Please respect copyright.PENANAH4oHeePRPv
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.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZTTBSX86u0
Inside, a man sat with his back turned.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7Q9DHm9pw
> “Still alive, are you?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFLQSMy4GLd
107Please respect copyright.PENANAB9oP7S8X2b
107Please respect copyright.PENANAkFOj1vp3SZ
He turned.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAI6MV5nvGOv
Vikrant.
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3Uz1NtEBYC
There was fear in his eyes. But respect too.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAWVuRSr8102
> “Yuvaan bhai… they said you were dead.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAAjz9Q67pia
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGQdcHW115p
107Please respect copyright.PENANAoDu5s0Ws1z
Yuvaan walked up, placed his palm firmly on the table.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAw5X1WQ0QDS
> “I’m looking for a girl. I don’t know her name. Only a butterfly tattoo on her wrist.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJnt4Ita5Me
107Please respect copyright.PENANAhThvkgztHe
107Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jmyoz76zr
Vikrant didn’t ask questions. He typed.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwHfbyg0LR2
The screen flickered, then stopped.
107Please respect copyright.PENANApEB7WwKXxT
Name: Kiara Fernandes
Status: MISSING since 2017.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAAUDFND2Th2
Yuvaan’s expression froze.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAcyz9NDtEnf
> “She wasn’t just made to disappear, Vikrant… someone erased her existence. Like she was never real to begin with.”

Teaser End Scene
107Please respect copyright.PENANAHxvsvnELgb
Back at the CBI.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAAYYIQpIeki
Late night. Everyone gone.
Yuvaan flips through another file. Suddenly, a holographic projector sparks to life.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGpQYP1u1J0
Mr. Vaidya’s digital visage appears.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAinp3eVfuIt
> “If you're seeing this, Yuvaan… it means you're either hiding… or you’re too close to the truth to survive much longer.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZhyPvzfaDh
In TRIDENT, we don’t just play with minds…
We sacrifice memories.”
Yuvaan doesn’t flinch.
107Please respect copyright.PENANANaPD9EM00h
Then I’ll remember for them all.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANApEoFNRwZgE
FADE OUT.
The bloodstains are old. But the wings still carry their story.
